Montana Ski Vacation - Big Sky
Skiing in Big Sky is an amazing experience at an enormous 3,600 acre resort blessed with 410 inches of powder, and adjacent to another magnificent resort, Moonlight Basin. It's a one stop ski dream for skiers of every experience level from the greenest greenhorn to the most experienced expert.
You'll have lots of opportunities to get some of that famous Montana Big Sky under your skiis as you encounter the massive air you'll find on this mountain! Screaming Left, South Face, and Bavarian Forest are absolute white-knuckle runs and at first glance Big Couloir looks to be unskiiable. If you are able to muster your courage and try it, you're in for the experience of a skiing lifetime. Big Sky has a radical halfpipe and a Terrain Park on Andesite, near Ambush Meadows, which is packed with features to play on. By the side of the pipe there are some decent, easy beginner Terrain Park features and below the halfpipe the more advanced skiers can test their mettle against some very challenging rail slides, funboxes, kickers, hits, and table tops. The ski school offers courses for all ages and skill levels from two hours to full day and beyond.
The climate and snow conditions at Big Sky are close to perfect right throughout the winter. You will find a staggering depth of snow that will even out a fair amount of the surface irregularities and make for great skiing. Watch out for the occasional frigid day when wind chills can dip well below -40 degrees F.
Big Sky's Mountain Village is the place where you'll find fun for every member of the family and for every budget. The kids will love the Crazy Austrian Show in the Huntley Lodge, as they will gobble up the pizzas at Mountain Top Pizza and Uncle Milkies Pizza and the great Tex Mex at La Luna. First thing in the morning don't hit the slopes until you've had breakfast in the Huckleberry Cafe or the Blue Moon Bakery and then you can continue onto the rest of your Big Sky Ski Vacation fun day.
Let's face it, the overwhelming attraction in the area has to be the most spectacular National Park in the country and maybe the whole world, Yellowstone. Everything you've heard about Yellowstone is true and then some. It is truly a natural wonderland spreading out over three states that has to be experienced at least once in every American's life. Snowcoach Yellowstone offers comfortable tours of some of the park, but you have to allow for several days to really be able to say that you got a chance to see the park. Try mushing your own team at Lone Mountain Ranch, 320 Ranch, or Spirit of the North Dog Adventures. If you want a bit more power, try snowmobiling with Yellowstone Tour and Travel, Two Top Snowmobile, Rendezvous Snowmobile or Canyon Rentals.
