Holiday Events at Residence Inn by Marriott Big Sky/The Wilson Hotel
Come for the Snow. Stay for the Season.
Some holiday traditions are timeless. Others are waiting to be discovered beneath Big Sky. Spend your days carving fresh powder, strolling Town Center, or exploring snow-covered trails. Return to The Wilson for fireside cocoa, family festivities, holiday movies, and visits from Santa, Mrs. Clause, and the Grinch. It's everything you love about the season, all in one place.
Winter Comes With Perks
One more run? We say yes. Make the most of every Big Sky adventure with Après All Day, packed with perks for when the skis come off — welcome drinks, Wilson beanies, souvenir cups, and $3 draft refills included — or save up to 15% on nightly rates with the Ikon Passholder Escape. All that’s left to do is hit the slopes.

Snow Days Ahead
Fresh Powder, Fresh Traditions
Fresh powder is just the beginning. Ski legendary terrain, snowshoe quiet forests, or mush through the backcountry by dog sled, then slow things down with sleigh ride dinners, holiday happenings, and evenings under the lights in Town Center.
