The skiing at Big Sky is best described as big, uncrowded, wide, open, fall line, and very challenging up top offering up spectacular views. The best groom run would have to be Cimarron on the moonlight side with fun rollers and no one on it. If you are looking to scare yourself, then if you go up the tram and ride anything other than Liberty Bowl, you will be in for a heart-pumping ride.
With the season kicking off in November and winding up in April, a tip to Big Sky is a must for any skier or boarder who wants to experience what big, uncrowded skiing and riding feels like.
