I love the Welch Village, Big Sky connection.

Big Sky is one of the biggest baddest mountains in the world with steeps (and terrain) that rival Snowbird, Squaw, Jackson Hole etc. With Moonlight Basin it's almost as big as the combined Whistler Blackcomb in terms of skiable acres (i think it's actually bigger than Vail). And.. it is by far the least crowded resort (with any reasonable terrain) anywhere in North America. Lastly the pow is light and fluffy and mostly blower. It sounds from the blog like Welch Passes will potentially include Big Sky and Moonlight. Awesome!! It's a short flight from Minneapolis. If you guys come out let me know and I can show you around some assuming I am there at the same time.

John's right, it's one of the least known of the really "super resorts". It never has lift lines and has great snow and trails for everyone. One of my favorite areas to ski. My first full week there in 2002 it snowed 1 foot every night for 7 days. The Austrian ski school director took me all over the mountain for a day. The lift served powder was incredible and I'd just spent a week in Fernie, B.C. skiing power. It was almost as good as skiing back East. LOL
