All around great terrain - something for everyone and all skill levels. The lower mountain features wide greens, rolling blues, and good grooming. Upper and backside areas are a wide-open playground for advanced skill levels. The resort is huge, so there is plenty of room to spread out. I highly suggest the peak and backside terrain.

My visit was over the new year, and it wasn't crowded at all, except maybe midday at the lone peak tram/ bottom of the bowl area. Plan your trip to the peak early, and be prepared for the weather up there to be different from the lower mountain (windy, low visibility).

The mountain village is really nice. It was slightly snobby-er than I expected (being in the middle of nowhere), but I can deal with that if the mountain is amazing. There really isn't much for other towns - Bozeman is decently sized, but about 45 mins away if I recall correctly.
