Big Sky sits up the Gallatin Canyon on US-191 in 59716, an hour of mountain road south of Bozeman, and moving there is its own kind of job. Bobcat Student Movers makes the canyon run regularly, hauling everything from ski-season condo loads to seasonal staff settling into employee housing for the winter. The canyon drive is the real story: long, winding, and icy from late fall into spring, so we build the day around safe road time, not just load time.
Condo moves up at the resort mean elevators, association rules about loading hours, and sometimes a long walk from the parking structure to the unit, all of which we plan for. Seasonal-staff moves are usually lighter and faster, often a single bedroom of gear, which fits our dorm-style approach: a single-room load starts at $180, or two movers at $124/hr if you just need help carrying in. A full condo runs at our standard $124/hr for two or $164/hr for three.
Because the haul up US-191 takes real time, the drive does factor into a Big Sky move more than an in-town job, and we are upfront about that in the written estimate. What we will not do is rush the icy canyon, snow and frost on that road put us in the ditch as fast as anyone.
Driving the Gallatin Canyon in winter
The canyon road ices up hard in the cold months, so our drivers take it at a safe pace and we schedule plenty of road time into the day. Reserve with a $99 deposit applied to the total, and if you are seasonal staff leaving at the end of a season, ask about storage from $39/month so your gear is not riding home and back.
