Stick with the 4 runs off the Southern Comfort lift for starters. They are green but are plenty interesting and nice and long, and that's also a high speed lift. The first time I went to Big Sky I was a brand new skier and I found that area and stuck to it!
They don't do a lot of grooming, so take a powder lesson if it dumps. In the early afternoon there are group lessons with no more then 3 people per lesson and it's very reasonably priced.
I just love Big Sky, have a wonderful time.

Book Ursula in advance, she's a master coach and is very busy, she's fabulous.
You may find that the greens give you enough challenge at Big Sky. There are black diamond runs in Southern Vermont that are easier than some of the green runs at Big Sky. :D

Excellent! Thanks for the info!!
My crowning moment in powder to date:
Husband, bless his black diamond skiing heart, came down off the top of the mountains in Telluride 2 years ago to ski with his green-run loving wife. By the end of each week we ski (once a year) my parallel turns look good and I am comfortable turning pretty tightly (if that makes sense). He advised that all of my actions be gentle as we were about to hit powder. No sharp turning, let the powder do the work to slow me down, etc. Well, just because I heard him doesn't mean that it sunk in. Took me wiping out in a glorious manner, trailing skis and poles behind me, to get his point. Glad it was nice, soft snow...lol..... We laughed over the whole thing and he again pointed out what not to do in powder. The rest of my day with him went very well. (To be clear, he and I don't ski together but for a few hours each trip. The first time I went skiing I was with a group that included hubby and his parents. All agreed that a lesson - several days actually - was thye only way for me to learn to ski. That was a Snowmass and the teacher was nicknamed Tuna, if I recall. I owe all of my ski skills to him and the work he did with me for three days!)
