GRAVITY HAUS ADDS BIG SKY, MONTANA, TO ITS GROWING OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE PORTFOLIO
Big Sky will be the 9th destination and a strategic market addition to Gravity Haus’ curated portfolio of experiential and adventure-centric hotels.
BIG SKY, Mont., Jan. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Gravity Haus, the Colorado-based hotel and social club, has started the repositioning of The River Rock Lodge in Big Sky–expanding its membership and boutique lifestyle hotel offering to Montana’s most popular rugged, outdoor playground.
“We opened Gravity Haus Aspen in December, Jackson Hole last January and today we announce the Big Sky offering. I feel like we are completing the ‘skier’s triple crown’. We bring a very unique approach and product offering to these luxury destinations. We are a community-led company and are thrilled to integrate into the vibrant Big Sky Town Center and bring our ‘approachable luxury’ product to this world-class destination and outdoor community,” said Jim Deters, CEO of Gravity Haus, Inc.
Located in Big Sky Town Center, Gravity Haus Big Sky will feature 29 newly renovated guestrooms, a restaurant, bar, fitness center, and coworking space. Following a full transformation of what was formerly The River Rock Lodge, the renovations have already begun, and Gravity Haus Big Sky is expected to open in Summer 2025. Gravity Haus affiliates purchased the property from Lone Mountain Land Company on December 20, 2024 for an undisclosed amount.
“We are excited about the vibrancy this addition will bring to the west side of Town Center,” said Krista Traxler, EVP of Marketing for Lone Mountain Land Company. “Town Center has become a gathering place in the community, and with this sale, Gravity Haus will be able to reinvigorate this building to bring a new lodging option and amenity spaces to the heart of Big Sky.”
“Adding Big Sky into our membership program strengthens our value proposition for our IKON pass-holding members,” said Deters. “Our existing members and guests made it clear that Big Sky would be a top destination for them, and we believe this will entice new members who can utilize their IKON passes for maximum ease and convenience.”
The Plan for Gravity Haus Big Sky
Gravity Haus Big Sky will become a “center of gravity” for locals and a regional hub for members and guests. Gravity Haus is implementing a substantial property improvement plan to the existing building, which will include the following:
-
Terrain Taco: With an existing location in Winter Park, Colo., this local favorite is humble in its roots, but features an explosive menu of vibrant flavors and spices and is open to the public.
-
Unravel Coffee: Unravel co-produces and imports some of the world’s best coffee straight from farms in Ethiopia and roast signature taste profiles with a zero emission Bellwether® roaster.
-
Co-Working Modern co-working space, hot desks and meeting space where members and guests can create and inspire alongside local and roving entrepreneurs, hold conference calls between outdoor adventures, and attend ongoing skill building and social programming.
-
Gravity Haus Fitness & Recovery: The open gym is a major perk for members and hotel guests alike through an intentional focus on state-of-the-art equipment and recovery amenities, including cold plunge, hot tub, and sauna.
-
Gravity Haus member experiences + networking: Events and meet-ups focused on adventure, community development and personal growth.
Governor’s Office
HELENA, Mont. – Governor Greg Gianforte today announced Montana ranks in the top ten states with the highest year-over-year job growth rates.
“Montana continues to rank as one of the best states to start or grow a business, earn a competitive wage, and secure a good-paying job,” Gov. Gianforte said. “As we continue to reform our regulatory environment to support job creators and cut taxes to give money back to the hardworking Montanans who earned it, we see the results of conservative policies at work as the Treasure State ranks in the top ten states with the strongest job growth.”
According to a report by Stat Ranker, which compared all 50 states based on year-over-year growth in total nonfarm payroll employment between February 2025 and February 2026, Montana ranked ninth in the nation for both jobs added and overall job growth adding more than 2,100 jobs over the year, representing a 0.4 percent job growth rate.
Last week, the governor attended the groundbreaking for Janicki Industries in Great Falls to celebrate the aerospace manufacturers’ investment expected to create more than 2,000 jobs over the next ten years and the ribbon cutting for Amazon’s sixth delivery station in Montana that brings the company’s total employment in the state to over 800.
Last month, the governor announced Montana was ranked in the top five states with the fastest-growing economies since 2021. The report from Visual Capitalist found that between 2021 and 2025, Montana’s GDP grew 16.1 percent while the national average in the same time period was 10.8 percent. When it comes to wage growth, Montana ranks third in the nation for fastest wage growth and is only one of two states in the nation where wage growth has outpaced inflation since 2020. The average wage earned by Montana workers reached $60,037 in 2024.
Earlier this year, Gov. Gianforte also announced Montana’s fiscal health surged into the top ten states nationally under his leadership, rising from 22nd in 2021 to 8th in 2025. Since taking office, the governor has paid off the state’s general obligation debt, making Montana debt-free in 2023 and saving Montanans $40 million over a period of two years.
Montana also consistently ranks in the top fifteen states with the lowest unemployment rates. Last month, the governor announced Montana’s unemployment rate ticked down to 3.4 percent in May, lower than the national unemployment rate which remained at 4.3 percent.
