Our office's goal is to mitigate the impact of increased tourism by educating both visitors and residents on how to treat Big Sky with respect as well as continue to inspire future travel to Big Sky for your next ski vacation. Visit Big Sky has excelled in gathering data that has led to key insights, such as recognizing the direct link between our housing challenges and the prevalence of short-term rentals in the area. The team is committed to using data-driven approaches to address the various challenges that tourism presents to the community. Our marketing efforts have focused on bringing back previous visitors to Big Sky. This strategy not only offers cost savings by targeting an existing customer base, but also concentrates on key source markets for our visitors. In 2023, we targeted Dallas, New York, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Seattle. Additionally, our proximity to Yellowstone National Park was a major highlight, emphasizing that Big Sky is just an hour's scenic drive north of the parks west entrance. Our messaging encouraged visitors to stay in Big Sky while enjoying the parks natural beauty. 1682017 false false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false true 30 0 true 0 false false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false true false false true true false false true true true true false true false false false X BRAD NIVA CEO 4069953000 PO BOX 160100 BIG SKY MT 59716 BRAD NIVA CEO 29.60 10.40 X 0 194396 6012 STACIE HARRIS BOARD CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRIS DUNKERSON VICE CHAIR 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRIS TORSLEFF SEC./TREASURER 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BRIDGET FRENCH Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 CAROLYN COLE Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID O'CONNOR Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 EMILEE WAGNER Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 KATE TOMKINSON Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 LINDSEY FOOTE Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 LIZZIE PEYTON Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 194396 6012 0 false true false 0 1940000 1940000 OFFICIAL VISITOR GUIDE 721000 167916 167916 SPONSORSHIP 721000 167916 27 27 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 0 2107943 167916 27 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 616431 171432 444999 0 5160 5160 0 0 0 468599 466239 2360 665889 665889 20212 20212 0 0 0 39008 39008 0 0 0 0 2027 2027 3500 3500 CONSUMER RESEARCH 205681 205681 PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT 73767 73767 WAYFINDING SIGNAGE 41617 41617 EDUCATION 18384 18384 0 2160275 1682017 478258 0 557639 441505 0 0 22039 74099 0 0 0 0 0 6897 2207 3417 4690 0 0 0 0 0 583095 520294 11820 1351 11820 1351 X 571275 518943 571275 518943 583095 520294 -52332 X false false false 6897 2207 4690 4690 CREDIT CARD PAYABLE 1351 1351 false false false BRAD NIVA CEO 194396 6012 200408 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 The organization has a board of 10 tourism directors who council the Visit Big Sky staff regarding marketing, visitor services, and data collection to support the Big Sky tourism economy.
