    I've been skiing Big Sky all week in great early season conditions . With average temperatures snowmakers will expand down tp Thunder Wolf and the lower mt.Without new snow the upper mt. will ski firmer with more scree. I'm sure they would love to rebook a large group from Snowbird.

    Any Skiing Tips for the Not-So-Young?

    This topic hits home for me. I turned 60 last fall,fat,tired and depressed ,realizing that I've never seen a 70 year old 300lb skier. I always thought that when I couldn't ski anymore I would buy a F-450 snowplow and chase storms to plow widows driveways. I decided to put off the truck purchase...
