What to do at Big Sky Montana

[SkiLineMontana]

I live in Kalispell and I ski at Whitefish Mountain Resort, over Christmas break I'm taking a trip to Big Sky, and need suggestions on whats good terrain/runs/lifts, not super interested in riding the park unless the snow is absolutely terrible, if anyone has any experience on how snow conditions are on average over Christmas that would be fantastic, any suggestions on good lifts/runs would also be appreciated.

Challenger has nice terrain, but if there aren't tracks through it, its rocks, and there are rocks everywhere up there, so be cautious.

Much of Andesite hides great terrain between runs, and sometimes good snow 3+ days after a storm. On the map look for zones called rock pocket and marlboro country.

From the tram, basically everything is a coin toss, maybe the snow is good, maybe the coverage is good, maybe the light will be good.

If they are open, the A-Z chutes are almost always good, but can be rocky at the top that early in the season. Don't ski those unless you know what you are doing and are with someone.

Other than that, there is great terrain all over the Shedhorn and Dakota lifts, and plenty of other pockets all over the mountain.

If you are going to be skiing Moonlight as well, there is so much terrain to talk about it isn't even funny.
