For renting skis at Big Sky. Lone Mountain Sports is hard to beat. Good selection of skis, can actually ski in and out, knowledgeable staff, and all around good guys. Also a good shop for boot fitting should you care to give them a try. LMS can actually send you right out the door to try either skis or boots due to their location on the mountain. Is it a better choice than Grizzly Outfitters? Can't say, but it is way closer to the lifts, like 6 miles or so. Congratulations on being able to have Ursula lined up for a lesson (or lessons), she is truly top rate when it comes to ski instruction. When she first arrived at Big Sky my wife instructed and ran ski the school desk while I was the ski school janitor, so we got to know her both as an instructor and as a person other than an instructor. She was then and still is an amazingly talented and capable person on and off the slopes.
