Huntley Lodge Customer Reviews

Someone on a lift in Vail told me that Big Sky had everything and was just about the best. He was right. The Rockies here are glaciated much more than in colorado and this means a greatly varied terrain with bowls, ridges, couloirs and gullies. The runs from the top of Lone peak are a truly challenging experience, the Liberty Bowl giving a six mile run do-able by a good advanced skier. The Tram and the Callenger lift lead to expert runs only (highway and midnight are excellent true blacks). Groomers such as Elk Ridge and Calamity Jane are magnificent, with many other groomed areas in bowls and valleys to give a wonderfully varied experience for good beginners upwards. Shedhorn, Durango and Lone Moose lifts give some of the best wilderness skiing that I have seen in 35 years of skiing. Tree skiing varies from relatively easy on Durango to really tough on things like Blackfoot and Snake. The one great surprise is that hardly anyone was there! It is a bit difficult to get to Big Sky with only a small airport at Bozeman with few connections and a change of plane needed from England but this makes it absolutely great. Just go there.

Been skiing 30yrs. and just got back from the holiday of a lifetime. Went to Jackson and did heliskiing, Big Sky and Grand Targhee, everything was superb, well done to James and Ski Safari. Had been to J & GT before and knew what to expect but Big Sky was something else! Wow, it was huge and in the 5 days we were there we didn't ski all of it. It has something for everyone but the off-piste and trees are just out of this world. The fact that we had 2ft. of fresh during our stay gave us so many opportunities but for anyone going to Big Sky you must go ski off the Dakota lift, Awesome!! I must also recommend the accommodation as well, thought I had died and gone to heaven, it was superb. All in all a resort that is off most people's radar but seriously, one of the best I have skied in all my 30yrs. Will certainly go back there and would recommend it to anyone, great value for money to boot. Right now we are planning our next trip with Ski Safari who really are top drawer!! "
