Visitor reviews for Big Sky

    Andrew B from UNITED KINGDOM

    Just back from a week in Feb 2008. In brief this is a big resort (for the US) with few visitors. Not at all sophisticated in either accommodation, mountain dining or apres-ski but if you want some varied slopes with no queues and good chance of fluffy powder it's a good bet. Couple it with Moonlight Basin (next door on a shared lift pass) for even bigger area (intermediate skiers here for a full week will need to explore here for 1 or 2 days). Steep blacks off Challenger and Lone Peak Tram are manageable for confident intermediates; chutes in the same area are for expert only; green & blues on Andesite were deserted, wide - ideal for beginners. Glades all over, some of which have been thinned for beginners. On mountain dining - Pinnacles at the top of Ramcharger has best food & good bar/wine list at a full service restaurant; the only other option is the Moonlight Lodge off the Iron Horse Lift - it has a "deli" restaurant (soups & hot or cold sandwiches) and full sit down table service - limited menu but incredible wine list. If you stay longer than a week or just want a day off skiing (why would you?) the trips to Yellowstone National Park are supposed to be good - hiking/snowmobiling/4x4. It's a long way to come from Blighty but worth it - expansion of accommodation is planned for next couple of seasons so get here before it is spoiled by too many beds than the mountain can handle.

    Well now.....my friends and I have decided this place is officially off limits to all other skiers.....just too nice. Spent a week here in early January and was skiing the same couple feet of dry fluffy powder that fell when I arrived, all damn week and never saw a liftline.......
