Insider tips from our team

Childcare Facilities

Daycare - Ages 6 months to 8 years. The friendly and caring staff welcome your child to the Lone Peak Playhouse (LPP), right at the base of Big Sky's slopes. Relax and enjoy the area while your child plays with other children in the safe and fun environment. The centre operates in conjunction with Big Sky Resort and the Snowsports School. LPP is conveniently located in the Snowcrest Lodge, across the hall from the Snowsports School.

Childcare with Ski Lessons - The Lone Peak Playhouse will dress your child for their lesson & a ski instructor from the Big Sky Snowsports School will pick up and drop off your child at our door. Please have your child at the Playhouse at least 20 minutes prior to lesson time. If your child's ski lesson begins or ends before or after the childcare please be prepared to meet your child with their instructor at ski school's gathering area.

Babysitting - Evening childcare can also be arranged through Big Sky Resort's concierge. Summit Hotel: (406) 995-8006. All other properties, please call (406) 995-5806. Please give 48 hours notice.
