Coffee, boots drying by the fire, and a plan nobody is precious about.
March 4–11, 2027Big Sky, MontanaBy invitation
Where world-builders meet mountain culture.
Eight days of big ideas, deep snow, and the kind of connection that doesn’t survive a conference hall. A small, invited cohort. One mountain. No badges.

The premise
More than a summit.
In a world saturated with global forums, leaders keep quietly asking for something else — a model of convening that values depth over scale, real relationships over repetition, and collaboration over resting on laurels.
Big Sky Ski Week is that model. The cohort is small enough that you will actually know everyone by Wednesday. The programming is light enough to leave room for the conversations you came for. And the setting does work no ballroom can: at altitude, people drop the pitch and start telling the truth.
The future isn’t debated in halls here. It gets built on chairlifts.
Who’s in the room
A curated convergence at altitude.
Ski Week convenes a small, invitation-only cohort of founders, CEOs, investors, technologists, astronauts, artists and systems leaders working at the frontiers of their fields. Past weeks have brought together federal officials and family offices, Grammy-winning producers and research scientists, NASA astronauts, AI architects and global sustainability leaders.
Everyone here is building something. Nobody is here to be seen.
- Capital, investing & family offices
- Space & Earth systems
- AI & frontier technology
- Climate & regenerative economies
- Culture, media & storytelling
- Wellness, longevity & mental health
- Community, policy & systems change
A day at altitude
Mornings belong to the mountain.
Evenings belong to each other.
The week is loosely held on purpose. Nothing is mandatory, everything is worth showing up for, and the day moves with the elevation.

Fifteen people, four minutes, and the whole Gallatin Range coming into view at once.

Live music, a last pour, and the part of the night no one scheduled.
What happens here
Solutions at altitude.
Six threads run through the week. Pull on whichever ones you want.
Fireside chats
Intimate, on-the-record-optional conversations with the people actually changing the landscape.
Après-ski geopolitics
The day’s hard questions, taken up with boots off and no press in the room.
Curated dinners
Five signature evenings, seated deliberately, hosted in homes and on the mountain.
Guided mountain days
Groups matched by ability, from first-tram steeps to a mellow tour and a long lunch.
Live music
Small rooms, good players, and the late nights that end up being the thing people remember.
Wellness & longevity
Morning movement, cold and heat, breathwork, and quiet time that isn’t an afterthought.
Big Sky, Montana
The new American epicenter of alpine experience.
Big Sky is no longer a secret — it’s the frontier. Vast, uncrowded terrain, soaring peaks, and an energy that reads both wild and elevated. Guests don’t come here to be seen. They come to feel alive.
5,850 acresThe biggest skiing in America, across Lone Peak and Moonlight Basin.
4,350 ftOf vertical, with 4,100 continuous from the tram to the base.
40 liftsEnough terrain per skier that a powder day still feels like one at 2pm.
New this era
Kircliff, at the top of everything.
For the first time, non-skiers can ride to the summit of Lone Peak — one of the most accessible high-alpine viewing experiences in the country. Kircliff, the 360° glass pavilion at the top, turns the mountain into a destination in its own right, and gives the week a room with a view of five states’ worth of sky.
Down in the valley, the food caught up: M by Alinea brought a three-Michelin-star residency to the Rockies, and One&Only Moonlight Basin opened the brand’s only U.S. resort just over the ridge.
Where you’ll stay
Everyone within walking distance.
The week is anchored in Big Sky Mountain Village, so the mountain, the meals and the late nights are all a short walk apart. Book direct through any of these — then tell us where you landed and we’ll help match housemates.

Partnership
You don’t sponsor an event. You join a constellation.
Partners are inside the week, not on a banner beside it — in a high-trust, low-noise environment where relationships compound into investments, media projects and long-term collaboration.
- Access and invitations, not impressions
- Brand embedded in the experience itself
- Emotional association with the week’s best moments
- Pathways into policy ecosystems and creative industries
- Direct lines to founders, capital and global builders
- Inclusion in the recap film and the year-round community
