Definitely depends on the weather. Lately I have been skiing my invaders, but as soon as there is some new snow i'll switch back to hellbents. If you want to ski the big couloir, bring your hellbents for sure due due ice or pow. Also, the rails aren't all that sweet right now, and you can still jump on hellbents, so i might lean towards hellbents.

^ agreed, plus i think hellbents are fun to ride in any condition. so i'd go hellbents, plenty of exploring to do at big sky. i'm gonna be up there this weekend on my bents too

lately it's been really warm, which has made for sunny spring-like park days... the jumps are fun, but there are only 3 big ones and 3 small ones... if you can have fun in the park on your bents i would bring them because if it starts to snow, you're gonna love em' on the tram/dakota/shedhorn/challenger, etc. plus the rails/boxes are nothing to write home about, kids slay 'em on bents all the time

my recommendation to you would be to check back before you come out, PM me or something if you want... cuz the weather here is always changing and unpredictable. and the park crew took some shit down, but that generally means they're going to be putting more of it up, soon.
