Event HQ is the slopeside Huntley Lodge, with special lodging offers for masters competitors at the Huntley and Summit Lodges as well as the Bighorn condos. See the event information flyer for details on schedule and lodging.
The manager of Best Western Buck's T-4 Lodge in Big Sky contacted us with the following special offer for master's competitors:
I can offer a rate far below the other properties on the site ($79 double with full hot buffet breakfast). This would be a substantial discount off our regular $136 rate. We are in Big Sky, though not slopeside. We are on the free snow shuttle route, however. In the past, we have had several Master's Race participants looking for a lower-priced alternative stay with us. We will also set up a waxing room for racers' use.
The hotel offers several ameneties, including huge outdoor Jacuzzis, two restaurants with full bar, free high-speed wireless internet access and a full hot buffet breakfast with all rates. Check us out at
