BIG SKY!




This weekend, Big Sky Ski Resort was generous enough to give a free ski day to everyone that works in the admissions office at MSU. I have skied and snowboarded at 6 ski resorts in Montana but I had never been to Big Sky. I always just assumed that it would be too crowded and too expensive... Too commercial. Turns out, I was wrong. Big Sky has worked it out so there are ZERO lines to get on the chair lift. Their lifts are big and fast and efficient. Big Sky has so much terrain... fresh powder is not hard to find. I was most surprised by the price. On a regular day, a full-day pass for students is only $41! That is within a couple dollars of Bridger Bowl and Moonlight Basin. A representative from Big Sky Resort told me that they are trying to get more involved with the community and with MSU and make it more accessible for students. If you come to visit Bozeman, I recommend that you try out a ski resort or two. Even if you don't ski, it is a great way to get the feel of a small ski-bum town!
