Big Sky Firsthand Reports

Friday 4-9-21 Fantastic day on the slopes. Conditions were great with snow fall last night.

It is a very large mountain with a lot of skiable Terrain. The lifts were not to crowded. There is a lot of versatile rubs to contribute to all levels. Snow is getting slushy though and thinning out.

Busy, lift lines and no social distancing

Hard packed and icy on the sunny side in the morning. No skiing at the peak. Gotta find the nice groomers. Moguls are crunchy unless the sun heats them up in the afternoon. Either they need new snow or keep the temps warm for spring skiing.

The most amazing time we’ve ever had!! Fresh powder. Been snowing for 2 days!!

At least 18 inches of fresh. Still dumping. Stay in the trees given flat light

Huge fun with a minimum of 36 inches on lower slopes abd 61 on the peak. Certain slopes blown slick, but are completely manageable.

Hard packed and rocky. Stay away from big sky until they get like 2 feet of fresh. Jackson hole has better snow right now.

Conditions were good. Service was TERRIBLE! First, swift current (the main lift) breaks down, so everyone goes to andesite and explorer, we had just gotten their so we didn’t wanna leave. We went up Ram charger then down to thunder wolf where it breaks down. Long story short we were waiting in a lines+riding lifts for 2 hours, trying to get back to the base. Guy in the office was an A-hole and didn’t provide any sort of compensation. Expensive resort, crappy lifts.

All runs at Moonlight Basin today.Conditions largely packed powder - still some pockets of powder to be found in out of way places. ( Very ) Rare small patches of hard pack in some high use areas. Good coverage.Warm ( for January) and sunny today. No lift lines Even the $14 barbecue sandwich at Headwaters Grill at Madison Base was quiet good. Once again Big Sky/ Moonlight Basin fails to disappoint.
