ski.the.eastcurrent freshman beyond ready to dip the fuck out of MSU, would not recommend if you enjoy skiing park
Is the park Breck or A51 status? No.
Is the park still fun? Hell yeah
Does Breck or Key or Vail compare to the tech terrain that Big Sky has? No.
MSU is sick and you'll fall in love with Bozeman.
*cgski*you have the raddest mountains/terrain and your upset because you don't get to ski park? Or is their something else you dislike about the school?
its a combination of a school I really don't like attending, job opportunities I'm interested in that only exist in places significantly more populated than Bozeman, and the bunk parks at Moonlight/Big Sky. I enjoy skiing park a lot and want to shred it as much as possible before I'm too old for it, you can shred pow at any age
I know I'm a minority when I'm surrounded by kids hiking Bridger everyday, but I know I'm not alone. Really wish I listened to a former MSU freshmans advice who was in the same boat as I'm in. All I'm doing is warning kids with similar interests as me, if you like to ski nothing but pow, ignore me because Bozeman is amazing for that. If you mainly shred park, go somewhere better if you don't want to be disappointed.

I didn't mention anything about Colorado...although a51 is amazing. Sure the top of Lone Peak is sweet if you like waiting in longass tram lines every lap. Personally I enjoy hot lapping park so why would I pay expensive tuition and settle for mediocre Swifty when I could shred Utah for a fraction of the cost. The Wasatch have Brighton + PCMR and plenty of fun terrain for the occasional pow day
TopThrillerIll be there as a freshman next fall. Soooooooooo stoked! Still debating big sky vs bridger....one day to decide b4 prices go up
Where have you skied previously? do you like big mountain or park better? how big a budget you have? do you have time to drive all the way to big sky compared to the short drive to bridger?

Haha, my home resort is a 300ft vertical ski hill. I've been to Keystone a couple times however. Really like park, because that's the only thing to do here in MO.
I decided to go with Big Sky. I figured that since it's my freshman year, I'll hopefully have ample free time. Also, I'm taking a car. I was 3 days away from qualifying for the Bridger junior pass, otherwise I would've snagged one of those. Pumped for big sky though! Still can't wrap my head around nine terrain parks...and 250 runs......my hill has less than 10 runs haha.
*cgski*ski bridger with me!
Got a big sky pass, sorry man! Find me a cheap lift ticket and I'll be there!

"Nine"
immasFor the love of everything good in this world, LOFT YOUR BED. You'll have more room, and can even hang your skis under it. I made the mistake of not lofting mine.
yeah im trying to decide whether to fully loft it or just do like a half way so i can put stuff under, definitely raising it somehow either way
LampardFreshman for a film major, housed in Roskie as well. I'm driving out from PA so I'll have a car with me.Probably skiing at Big Sky, so stoked to be living out west finally.
Roskie is one of the dopest dorm experiences available anywhere. Be social, make friends with your podmates and floor, and you will have a fucking blast.

I didn't loft mine and loved it. Mostly because I was able to collapse drunk in it without climbing up anything, and I didn't bring a whole lot of shit. I was able to fit two boards/binders and all my snowboard and backpacking shit under my bed without raising it at all.
thought i should post up in here. I'm not a freshman officially because I'm taking a gap year to gain residency first but that aside I'd love to chill with anyone and everyone! I love skiing and hiking and all that good outdoors stuff but also love a good party so hmu if you find some good ones
I'm heading back to MSU this fall to finish my writing degree and start one in Fish and Wildlife Management, so I'll be one of the oldest pseudo-freshmen on campus.
I will not be getting a pass anywhere (I haven't for a few years now, but I used to ski Bridger), but I will be touring a couple days a week.
Just registered for classes for Spring. Probably not gonna be able to ski during the week, which sucks. But I will be going down every Saturday and Sunday.
Would love for one or two more people to travel with as it only costs me $15 to drive down and if I find one more then we will have 4 to drive down with and it will be cheaper than the bus and a hell of a lot better than it. Just shoot me a PM or quote and reply in the thread.
Also, looked like it snowed today!
ghosthopbump for snowmy schedule is on lock for next semester, I can ski until noon MWF, and have until three on Tuesday and Thursday
it might be too early to think about but it would cool to have a NS day at Bridger or Big Sky or both. skiing is a gang
good luck trying to get to class after a morning of skiing haha, i couldnt do it. gunna take some serious self control on a pow day!

Ok so you mean you're failing next semester?
Lol good luck getting maybe 3 ridge runs in before 11 and then racing down to class and showing up to lecture in your ski gear if you have class at noon... Or do you have class at 1 or something and you're saying u can actually ski till 12?
~bagelz~current freshman got a pass to bridger and an avy beacondon't have a car but would love rides and to shred some pow already made a road trip to abasin to ski and get chipotle haha

We only have 2 ski areas around us, even though those two beat 90% of the other mountains freeskier only has a hard on for ski areas that they can access with their EPIC passes provided to them for free by vailcorp after years of reverse grip handjobs under the table.
