Post in here whether you're an incoming freshman like me or someone already attending. Let's get some networking going! Maybe post up where your dorm is and where you plan to ski also.

Langford (dammit)
and I plan skiing Moonlight Basin and maybe Bridger Bowl.

GO.

I'll be a junior (fifth year?) in the picture-taking program. I ski at Bridger most of the time, although I go out backcountry skiing when I don't think I'll die on the mountain.

I'll buy you booze for a 40% gratuity.

I will be a Junior this year, living off campus. I will also be a youth instructor at Moonlight, but possibly BigSky or Bridger. Either way, I will be skiing a little bit of everything.

junior (4th year) and will most likely be shredding big sky

this is because:
- bridger passes are nearly as expensive. although i love bridger on a good pow day, it gets skied out quick and i do not particularly enjoy it on any other day (lots of moguls, flat lower mtn, shitty park)

- mooonlight has good rails, but not a whole lot else in my opinion. had a pass there my freshman year and got REAL sick of it

for some of the incoming freshman, If you can decide on where you wanna ski, buy early.  I was able to buy a pass a few years ago before I turned 19 for way cheap.
a junior pass (13-18 year old) right now is only $320.  it was $199 when I skied there in 2003-2005.  so If you hurry, you can cop a Bridger pass for cheap!

if you check out catapolloza moonlight usually has a really good deal for the three days right before school like 350 or 400 or something close to that

I like to have a park but one of the biggest reasons I'll be in montana is for pow/bc. So I'm looking for kinda the best balance of both if that's possible to find. Also if I were able to get two passes what would y'all suggest?

theres sizable msu kid crews at every mountain. Alot of the park rats ride moonlight, alot of park rats and all mountain rippers ride big sky, and alot of all mountain rippers ride bridger as well.

a ton of kids buy bridger passes i know, and its a sick mountain but it gets tracked out FAST on pow days, and the sidecountry is kind of a junk show (just look at the avvy that got triggered by that kid last year).


big sky has the most variety, and theres another good sized gathering of nsers there. not sure how the park will be this year though, pretty much the whole park crew left last year.


and then C_Perin and most of those guys get moonlight passes because their park is by FAR the best, however i personally feel like theres just not enough other stuff to justify a pass.

Yah but Moonlight is windy as balls and gets so dark and depressing around like 1. Their park is awesome and they have some fun runs off the ridge and they have baller tree runs but it is just so small.

And Big Sky just has so much stuff and Challenger and Shedhorn are the most fun lifts on the mountain on a pow day.

But I guess I only ski park anymore on crappy snow days...Which hopefully will be less days than last year.
