Wow Big Sky - that is awesome!
Big Sky was simply breathtaking. I wish we had gotten more fresh snowfall, but the snow quality was still great, coverage was plenty and the mountain was just awesome. Montana was absolutely beautiful. We liked how it was just kind of the middle of nowhere.

Oh and Big Sky is absolutely gigantic.

Last night we were back at the local mountain... a bit of a difference between 5700 acres and 20! :smile:

Saturday was day 51 for me at Sugarbush

Wow, that's a lot days! You picked a pretty good season for that. I've made a few of the really good days but missed so many more. Damn six hour drive and work getting in the way.

Solo day. It was cold, but not quite as bad as I expected. Conditions were crunchy groomers, not too many scratchy spots. I practiced skiing and made strides. I can ski blue groomers now.
