The backcountry up towards Beehive is pretty sick. If your looking for stuff from the tram you can always mob back to Lost Lakes. You usually have to wait until a bit later season for this though.
Do you have a Lone Peak pass or just one to Big Sky?

don't work at big sky if you can avoid it, they pay the worst in the area. throw in an app at the yc, i think their hiring lifties right now and pay 4 dollars more an hour. they'll also buy you a pass. moonlight also pays much better.

Yeah you should definitely work at The Club. They will buy you a pass to BS or Moonlight, and then you can buy the other one with your own money. That way you would spend quite a bit less.

The only problem with working at the club is that you can't actually ski there. So no ride breaks, no last run laps, etc.

Also, most of the management there is completely incompetent. Although maybe not on the lift ops side.

thanks for the info guys i love this site. yea i would be fuckin weird workin at yellow stone club possibly seeing celebs on the lift and shit. prolly dont have to deal with lift lines either. but ye i think i got a job delivering food for dine in mt........ hopefully pans out fer me. now i'm freakin out about housing. we found a place hopefully but its like 15-20 mins from big sky and yea. so any help in that department would be sick. can wait to shred the peak.

Well yes, this is official Club policy, however 2 people I know who liftied there got 4-6 runs a day.

The groomers are unreal. Fresh corderoy on last run .

The pow/cliffs are even better.

Yeah, I was tempted to instruct there this winter. I might eventually, but I prefer Big Sky personally.
