The Way I Ski It: Big Sky Resort's Blog

HERE THEY GO again – Mother Nature and Old Man Winter pulling another switcheroo on us overnight!  The past five days have had full blown spring skiing conditions with warmer temps and bluebird skies.  Then this morning we woke up and WHAM!  Winter was back with nine inches of cold fluffy pow on the peak.

Ullr sure is keeping us on our toes – this is the second time this month we’ve done an extra early-week Ski Skinny post due to a big conditions shift.   But when it involves multiple bluebird powder days, we can’t complain.

Hit the mountain all over today – there’s powder everywhere and your fatty skis could use some exercise.

Sun and warmer temperatures?  Spring skiing is here.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG at Big Sky, and spring skiing is in full swing.  With warmer days and breezes hitting the mountain mid last week, you’ll need to be in-the-know to find the best snow pockets.

If you’re looking for powder, stay up top for the best conditions – the heart of The Dictators and The Gullies are smooth and carvy.  The go-to stash in Rice Bowl is also skiing nicely, with deep pockets throughout.

While the forecast is calling for snow all this weekend and next week, temperatures are staying warm.  That means grab your all-mountain skis and hit the Tram for colder temps and drier snow.

BLUE SKIES and falling snow were on a perfectly rotating schedule last week, hitting Big Sky with multiple bluebird powder days - the ultimate in ski conditions.  With comfortable temperatures and calm breezes, the peak was smooth and carvy this afternoon. Lenin was chalky up top and progressively softer towards the bottom, making for spring ski conditions from Upper Sunlight down. 

For the best turns this weekend, break out your all-mountain skis and enjoy another gorgeous blue sky weekend.  Then get ready for more powder - snow will start falling again on Sunday night and stay steady throughout the week.
