Big Sky has a better park (jumps) and more terrain

13.)  If you could change one thing about each of the three mountains listed at the beginning of this survey, what would it be? 
Big Sky needs more money for their park so more features can be avaliable. With $ they could also host comps, which would make them money in return. They also need to be allowed to make jumps as big as they want. They limit they have now is wack. I guess overall, they need a better run to place the terrain park.

Are you having doubts?  Do you think that taking this survey won't really produce any results?  NS's own Mike Rogge thinks differently!  Here's a link to his blog: https://newschoolers.com/web/content/readblog/jid/887/eid/4351/ .  Get out there and...survey!

11.)  What was the biggest factor that made you choose to buy a pass at that mountain in particular?  bridger cause its 15 minutes from class and i can ski half days mid week, big sky cause it usually has sick jumps and good riders and showdown cause its near my home town so i can ski everyday during christmas break


13.)  If you could change one thing about each of the three mountains listed at the beginning of this survey, what would it be?  Bridger needs big jumps, Big Sky needs to lower their prices and kick all the arrogant rich pricks off the slopes and give the mountain back to the locals and moonlight needs bigger jumps too

15.)  If any of your changes actually occurred, would it make you buy a season pass at any of the mountains?  I try to ski where my friends ski and 1/3 ski big sky 1/3 ski moonlight 1/3 ski bridger but i'm sure if changes were made they would all buy a pass to the same mountain and then yes, i would buy a pass to that mountain as well

14.) If made, would any of your changes make you ski more often at any of the mountains listed? Probably, yes. They are a bit of a drive from me (I'm from Canada), but if not visit them myself, give good word to friends to go there at least.
