Well just from living here and skiing Big Sky, you seem like you would fit in pretty well, that is if you don't mind the small town aspect where there isn't anything open after midnight, and you like a place with nothing really to do besides outdoorsy stuff and skiing/boarding.
Big Sky is straight up awesome. Amazing mountain to improve and do anything you really ever wanted to do. Not a bad park scene that seems to be getting forever better. Lone peak is full of possibilities to get your big mountain skiing sense tingling. and the tree/pow skiing at Big Sky is within itself great. That is maybe not this year in particular, its been a rough year but statistically and just the terrain that is here all that is true. Big Sky also has the bus that picks up form campus and you can buy a punch card for cheaper then gas. It runs all week but the last bus leaves at 8 so its a bitch if you have any classes. The price this year for the punchcard was 40 bucks for 23 rides and thats roundtrip, you pay to get there and the return trip is free. It's a nice charter bus too so thats a plus.
For your weed comment, again you will probably fit in quite well here.
as regards to the school, MSU is pretty sick, but i recommend coming to check it out for yourself.
