MOONLIGHT BASIN & BIG SKY FINAL DAY

We finally made it to Moonlight Basin a nice place some good runs but it is north facing no sun and today was really sunny so we only stayed a couple of hours before we made our way back to Big Sky.
The weather was so good we decided to go up to the peak. the only way to get up there is via The Lone Peak Tram in Europe we would call it a cable car. The ride up is spectacular almost vertical for the last 100 metres the views from the top are breath taking well worth standing in the only queue we have seen this week unfortunately the photos don't give you the full impact however they give you the idea of scale.( getting down was the hard bit)
We skied our final run at Big Sky this afternoon and I have got to say this is a really great resort and I am glad to say it has lived up to all its publicity,and has some of the most challenging terrain I have seen, so this one will go down as good choice.
The nice thing about having a car is that packing becomes less important so we should be off sharp. Tomorrow we are hoping to stop off at Yellowstone Park but I am not sure because of the weather any way we'll see.
So this is the end of my mutterings on Big Sky thanks for a great experience B S.
