Big Sky snow situation

So I'm going out west to Big Sky for spring break in about a week and a half. I just broke my collar bone a few weeks ago so I'm trying to decide if the conditions are worth hauling my skis and stuff out there or if it's too sketchy ta take the risk.

I was kinda being a dork because you don't tell people to come to Montana, and that was an actual "live update."

Mountains are actually pretty close to normal snowpack. It's melting quick, but it's never not worth bringing your skis. Just take some cruiser laps and give ski pointers to all the California Ski Milfs, duh.

Or just pointing it straight to see how long you have to wait for everyone at the bottom of soco.

OP are you even going to be healthy enough to ski? Skiing around with a freshly broken collar bone kinda sucks. It's not a injury you can lock down like a arm cast. I skied here at big sky this season with a broken collar bone and for the most part at first could only really go down groomers and spent a big portion of time visiting smoke shacks. This was only possible because I know how to keep a quiet upper body while skiing. Wearing a X brace and sling were still pretty mandatory.
