At my camps and clinics I like to take a quick review of some basic skills and one of them is the “Kick Turn”. As a boy I learned to kick turn in my back yard. This was one of the first skills my older brothers drilled into me. Over the years I have used this valuable skill to reverse my...

Forty inches of snow fell over the week in Big Sky Montana. Visibility is marginal and I’m looking into the abyss over Lone Peak’s Big Coulior. I’m with a group of skiers from Dan Egan’s Steep Camp, ready to test our skills on one of the gnarliest lift-serviced runs Big Sky has to offer...

As many Gathering trip reports start, this one starts a few days before the official Gathering as we (@Philpug @Andy Mink @AKMINK and I) travel north and spend some time at Jackson Hole.
We bumped into the Grumps almost immediately upon arrival, which was a nice treat.
Hopefully @KingGrump can...

Just got a notice from Big Sky that a power outage has caused the closure of all of the lifts on the north side of the mountain. Quite a fiasco especially after having the Six Shooter breaking on Thursday and being down for several days.

I'm going to be in Big Sky next week. I have a couple of people in my group insisting on taking the gondola up to Lone peak. I see that there are some black runs off the backside. I'm an intermediate skier at best and can usually handle groomed black runs in Aspen with no problems if I take it...

Me and my annual ski buddies have agreed on Big Sky as the spot for our 2019 ski trip. It will be my first visit - can anyone help me decide what month is (usually) the best time to ski?

How's this drive in the winter? Thinking of flying into Jackson, ski a bit there, and then drive up to Big Sky for more. Figure late March for this . . .

Want to drive over and ski Big Sky again this year. Lift Tic are $86.00 over 70yrs ugh. Anyone know where/how I can get a little cheaper? Will be midweek non-holiday.
