 Poster: A snowHead

First day in big sky today . Arrived late last night from the uk , three flights made all the connections but 26 hours travel in total . From the view outside my hotel window makes me think its worth it . Here for two weeks .  .

f1l, Enjoy my friend, it's a place very definitely on my to do list, the thought of deserted, vast areas of inbounds off piste really is worth the trouble of getting there.

I am also interested in hearing about Big Sky. But, first, 26 hours....? Where did you fly from? Inverness?

f1l, there are quicker ways of getting to Big Sky, but it's truly an awesome place. It's fondly remembered by my kids as the place where they conquered black runs - and most Big Sky blacks truly deserve the rating. My own memories are of finding untracked on-piste powder three days after a snowfall on some of the more obscure runs around the back of Andesite mountain: simply incredible.
Are you in the Huntley Lodge? It's nearly 10 years since I was there, but it used to serve the best breakfast that I've any found in any hotel or restaurant anywhere in the world.
