Summary: Big Sky is big time -- a huge ski area with ample terrain for every level skier, and high end ticket prices to match. The tram to the top has made some great bowl skiing accessible without a long steep hike. Try backcountry skiing in Beehive Basin; you can get a guide at Lone Mountain Ranch. Two weaknesses: it can be very cold early in the season, and the mountain is a bit underserviced for food, rentals, etc. But well worth a trip.

Summary: Big Sky is simply another calibre of resort than most are used to. Big Sky has the terrain to keep up with anyone, Jackson, Whistler, Alta, anyone. The Lone Peak Tram (LPT) is likely the best thing to happen to Big Sky since Everett Kercher. The tram is hands-down one of the most challenging serviced areas in North America. If you think you can run with the big dogs, the LPT and the outrageous locals that it has helped produce will send you home with a different outlook on tough skiing and tougher skiers.
