BASE Community Center — Local services in Big Sky

We just moved to Big Sky and we joined here the first day. A three month family pass is $155/mo. There is an excellent workout area in the second floor with everything a well equipped gym offers. In the first floor there’s a large gymnasium for basketball, soccer and other team sports. Multiple different groups meet here for various practices. There’s an enclosed separate room for scheduled classes like yoga, Pilates and spin. The climbing gym is amazing. I have worked and climbed at a number of climbing gyms over the years and this one is very, very good! A variety of challenge, frequently updated routs keeps it interesting. The autobelay is so, so awesome for me with three kids, they all get to climb at once, no waiting for mom to belay. The bouldering area has locals/regulars working on a variety of challenging projects which is inspiring for my small kids to watch. There’s a children’s play area with a large selection of kids books, Lego, magnetiles, and these fun, very large building pieces that seem to really drive interaction with the rotating group of small kids coming and going. This play area is the main attraction for some families and a nice side activity for siblings while family members work out upstairs or do team practice in the gym.

The staff are all super helpful, very friendly, and just the right level of safety-serious and fun-permitting.

There are also foosball and ping pong tables that attract afterschool kids.

The building houses the arts council which offers a variety of classes including kids classes. I imagine some of the kids in the play area are waiting for siblings in those classes.

We moved here to ski and we have been skiing every day and still we have used our pass here every single day. The kids rock climb until they drop then eat dinner and fall instantly asleep. You won’t regret getting the pass here, just do it! It is more economical to get the three month family pass at $155/ months than to get the seven day climbing pass which is $500.

The prices are extremely reasonable for a facility of this caliber. This place is subsidized heavily by donation and...

It's miraculous that a place like this even exists in a ski resort town. The facility is so nice I assumed it was a high-end private gym. It looks like an Equinox, but it's a COMMUNITY CENTER!!! Clean and spacious handicapped-accssible public restrooms and water fountains with water bottle refilling stations. Plenty of parking. A free public ice-skating rink with two free porta-pottys accessible at night after the building closes.

Day passes are only $30 for access to their entire facility, or $40 if you want to use their giant indoor rock-climbing wall. Multi-day punchcard passes and monthly membership plans are also very reasonable.

Their gym is well-stocked with equipment and exercise machines. They have a huge gymnasium for basketball, pickleball, indoor soccer, and many other sports programs, an impressive art studio, and several multi-use rooms that host classes from spinning to yoga to Zumba and much more. Their locker rooms are clean and well-maintained.

The staff is very friendly, and happy to answer your questions about the center and Big Sky in general. They're an invaluable source of information about all kinds of things going on in the area.

I wish I'd found the BASE Community Center on my first day in Big Sky. I can't recommend them highly enough. Even if you're only in town to ski for a few days, it's well-worth...

Only took off a star because the gym does not have standard size bumper plates. Any deadlifts, hip thrusts, cleans, etc take some creativity for substitutions for sure. There are 2 20kg bars, an EZ curl bar and 1 very tiny training bar. Also, there is only one squat rack for the whole floor which isn’t fun when it’s busy… But all equipment is clean and brand new and really nice, really nice...
