This is a picture of Big Sky - the big peak is Lone Peak. I didn't take this picture, I found it online (apparently it's from somebody's vacation home, I want to live there) because the Bluetooth on my phone won't send the pictures I took today.
Anyway, I had a lot of fun today. They have only opened about a third of their terrain so far, but it's plenty of room to have fun and it wasn't that crowded, either. That's one of the things I like about Big Sky - it's never that crowded, even on the weekends. Especially riding the singles line, there is barely a wait to get on the most highly trafficked lift, and at most other lifts there is no line at all.
My least favorite thing about Big Sky is how rocky it is. Considering that the mountain is entirely rock with not too much vegetation, this makes sense. However, it is never enjoyable to ride over what looks like nice white snow and suddenly crunch over several jagged rocks. Since it is still early in the season, this definitely happened to me several times today, and I felt bad for the base of my snowboard. But, when more snow accumulates this won't be a problem.
Like I said, today was a lot of fun and tomorrow I'm hoping to go to Bridger. I'm really glad the snowboarding season is here - I need something to keep me outside.
