Well, if you insist!

There will be three new chairlifts built in the Big Sky area for next winter (at YC, Moonlight and Spanish Peaks) but none at Big Sky Resort proper. Hopefully gondola construction begins next summer.

Where will the Spanish Peaks and Moonlight lifts be located? Opening up new terrain or just residential lifts?
Any idea of what it might cost for a 3 day lift ticket? A rough idea would be of great help!
We will be out at BS for a week of our family road trip, arriving from J-Hole on Jan 18th. In an average year, how is coverage the 3rd week in January? I'd love to come later but the only time I can take 8 weeks off is Jan-Feb so we are locked in to the "early season". We are a family of 4 ranging from a progressing beginner to expert so there is a range of comfort levels for me to balance. I'll probably go out solo the first day and spend part of it exploring to make sure I don't get my daughter in over her head but what are some suggestions for a nice first day flow of lifts/runs for greens and easier blues to learn the mountain? Any sand bagged blues to watch out for that ski tougher than their color? My wife and daughter are still mostly skiing groomers with my wife comfortable on most any blues and easier blacks and my daughter comfortable on all greens and easier blues. My 11 y/o son loves tree skiing with me so if there is any beta for some nice glades with decent spacing, that would be a bonus!
Having grown up in Tahoe/Mammoth, I know what it's like to be invaded by the weekend warriors. We promise to respect the locals so please don't shoot if you see our IKON passes! BS has been on my list for years so I'm stoked to finally ski it! Thanks!

Agreed. If you want a progression, ski Lizette off of Southern Comfort for the easiest glade, then Pomp next to it. Then move to the lower section of Congo. Then the upper Congo section which is a bit steeper.Congo for instance can be a really fun approachable blue bump/glade run.
