| I was at Big Sky with friends for a week of fabled Montana powder. Unfortunately it hadn't snowed in a week when we got there, and no new snow while there. Hard, crappy skiing for the most part. So I took a day to climb Lone Mtn, though didn't use the lifts. One can take the service roads around towards the south side (seems to be a snowmobilers paradise there), then it's easy to get onto the Southeast Ridge. I carried a snowboard to the summit, but didn't ski down the upper part of the mountain (after I watched another boarder biff it for 1,000ft on the hard snow and nearly killed himself). |
