At The Duke’s Sky Lodge, the ski bridge is only 20 feet from the downstairs ski room, offering exceptional ski-in/ski-out access and an especially convenient location for families with children enrolled in ski school. From the bridge, cross over and descend onto Smithy, a green run, then continue via Natawista and Cinnabar to the Madison Base Area and the high-speed Madison 8 Lift. Beyond the incredible ski access, this spacious Moonlight Basin retreat offers more than 6,000 square feet of luxurious mountain living, with spectacular views and plenty of room to gather, relax, and enjoy the best of Big Sky.

Upstairs, the loft bunk room has two twin-over-full bunk beds and an attached full bath, while two additional downstairs suites offer a queen bed and two twin beds, each with an ensuite bathroom and flat-screen TV. An office with a pull-out sofa provides additional sleeping space.

After a day on the mountain, unwind in the private hot tub beneath Montana’s star-filled skies, gather around the outdoor fireplace, or settle in for a movie in the private theater.

One of the home’s best features is its direct access to the Madison Base Area, making it especially convenient for families with children enrolled in ski school.
Ski Out: Step out of the downstairs ski room and you’ll find the ski bridge just 20 feet from the home. Cross the bridge and descend onto Smithy, a green run. Stay on Smithy until you reach the skier bridge, where you’ll make a sharp right and continue onto Natawista. Follow Natawista until it merges with Cinnabar, the main trail leading to Madison Base. From there, you’ll have easy access to the high-speed Madison 8 Lift.
Ski In: Return to the home via Powder River, a blue run accessed from the Iron Horse Lift, or from Lazy Jack, a green run that connects to the Powder River access route from the Madison 8 Lift. Follow Powder River until you reach the skier tunnel on the left side of the run. Continue past the first right-hand skier bridge, then take the second right onto Natawista. Stay on Natawista, taking the first left to remain on the trail. Cross the skier bridge and make a hard right to continue on Natawista. Just before the pair of adjacent skier bridges, you’ll find the access trail that leads directly back to the home. We recommend referencing the Big Sky trail map on your first day to familiarize yourself with the ski-in route.
