I am not familiar with Spanish Peaks but there is also a very nice condo-style hotel at the main base right at the bottom of two of the main lifts - super convenient.

I'm the PP that said it was $$. The flights were super cheap - like $225 roundtrip from DC. The lodging and lift tickets were pretty expensive. Overall the trip was at least 20% more expensive than a trip we took last year to Steamboat.

Make time to go fly fishing. Get a guide and hit the rivers. It's an amazing experience!

No. And Montana doesn’t have a mask mandate which is likely why OP is picking it

But Gallatin County does. But it's probably barely enforced outside of Bozeman.

Big Sky Resort claims to require masks.

I'm the PP that just went to Big Sky Resort. The resort is intense about mask wearing. The staff is constantly reminding people at the base that they must have a mask on (I found this a bit over the top, considering people maintained tons of distance and were outside). Inside the resort, there were loads of stations with disposable masks and everyone was wearing them.

Well late December 2021 into January 2022.
I know it’s far in advance but I think planning a big trip will be a fun thing to look forward to.
(No I definitely didn’t pick a place because there wasn’t a mask mandate. Would someone really do that? Isn’t that asking to get COVID?)
Thanks for all of the tips. I have been looking at some lovely homes but I do think the resort that an earlier poster linked may be the easiest option. Convenience is key with the kids.

If you want convenience think about Utah. Nonstop flights.

+1. I love skiing in Utah - Alta is one of my fave resorts, and I also enjoy Salt Lake City as a destination. If you want to stay in the city, there's a resort bus that goes up and back each day. A different ski experience, but also fun.
