Ski Diva Extraordinaire
I second getting a lesson or ski time with @Skisailor.
Here are a few thoughts about how to get your family started at Big Sky based on my three trips to Big Sky in 2012, 2013, and 2019. The first two trips Moonlight Basin was still a separate lift ticket. One reason I spent more time over there last season.We're taking our first ski trip out west to Big Sky in February. We'll be staying in the ShoShone condos with our 11, 9, and 6-year old boys, all of whom are VERY good skiers...the older 2 are better than I am and I'm worried about keeping up with them . I'd love any and all trail or restaurant recommendations! Thanks
Oops, Challenger is a triple, not a quad. Has conveyor loading. With the low visibility and wind holds due to snowstorms last Feb, I only rode Challenger once.* Have an adult check out Challenger before taking the boys. Not only to check the terrain but also the ride up the ridge and to scope out where to go immediately after unloading. The new quad is better than the old, slow double but it's still a bit of an adventure.

Sounds like a great plan to me!woo hoo! I told the fam last year, after slaving for days over a turkey dinner, I am skiing on Thanksgiving day! Thats what crock pots are for, right?!!!
I will be headed to Big Sky this winter for the week after Christmas and would love to meet up with any Divas that will be there! We skied there last year at Christmas and absolutely loved it. I also signed up for the Elevate ski camp in Jackson in January. Unfortunately I will just miss Diva West. Hopefully there will be good snow out there this winter.
Oh boy, I want to get back to Big Sky. For 2019-20 there will be a Headlamp Night Skiing experience. Two hours of skiing off Ramcharger 8 on groomers with a guide, up to 7 people for about $450. That would be so cool! I love walking around on snow in moonlight.

Perhaps a little incentive to practice by doing more night skiing locally?Wow that looks cool! A little scary to me because the lack of light is my nemesis while night skiing, but this looks too unique and interesting to pass up of I have the chance to try it!

Will be on my Wishlist the next time I go back to Big Sky. Want to do another lesson or two at Bridger too.
