Dear Son, Sorry I didn't get this written when I was in Montana but I was very busy skiing, skiing, skiing. When you called on day six saying , "Why haven't you called me about this epic storm", I hadn't realized it was epic, but we did have ten to twelve inches in one day. I had to wear my... more

When planning a ski vacation, different people are looking for different things. In my mind, I want the skiing to be amazing. That is by far my highest priority. My rating of Big Sky is based on that perspective. If apres ski is important to you, if accommodations are very important, if restaurants are very important to you . .... more

Just returned from a trip to Big Sky. We had awesome snow. I know each year differs, but this year there was 100+ inches on the mountain. With the new terrain and additional runs they've opened, we felt like we were on a private mountain on some of t he runs. No lift lines, kids 10 and under ski free.... more

Big Sky ski area IS big. The skiing variety is wide -- good for beginners to experts. But the resort staff are far from friendly, the base amenities and shops are helter-skelter and poorly signed, and the place is darn cold (something which keeps the snow good, though, and which the resort obviously has no control over). Also, the "best... more

We just returned from a week at Big Sky, and we won't be returning anytime soon. Poorly run, from a customer service perspective. What would it cost Boyne to recruit employees who have a firm grasp of English? Many of the employees that interact with customers are foreign, especially from S. America, and we found that their mastery of English... more

Our family visited Big Sky Resort to ski over the Christmas Holiday. Big Sky is a beautiful place and I am sure with more snow, it would have been great skiing conditions. We still enjoyed the slopes but found the mountain not very well run. We were often, stuck on lifts or gondolas. It did not matter what lift they... more

If there had been snow (a risk you take with Christmas skiing) the mountain whuld have been great. The ski school, however, was a complete waste of money. I have two children who easily ski blue runs at Jackson Hole among a number of other resorts. They have also skied black runs. I understand that the first day back on... more

I just came back from a trip to Montana and Wyoming and I think I loved Big Sky the most. The area is just spectacular set right in the mountains. The resort is very nice, and the service friendly and accomodating. I stayed in the Huntley Lodge, which was very nice, but I believe the Summitt is a newer and... more

my fiance and I stayed at the Stillwater condo's the week before xmas, 2004 ($129/per night). This skiing was primo...at least on the trails that were open (50% open). Since some were closed, life tickets were slightly discounted ($43/pp) Everyone at the resort was super friendly. Their staff is superb! The restaurants and bars are not cheap though. They are... more
