Big Sky Is Sprawling, Luxurious and Pricey. And, Maybe, the Future of Skiing. (Published 2022)
With lift tickets above $225 and surcharges of up to $100 to ride the tram to the top, the vast Montana resort is delivering a high-end experience. Is it a solution to skiing’s problems?

Sounds about right to me. Big Sky in 2021-22 isn't what it was when I went the first time in 2011. For me as a resort skier who isn't into hiking for turns, the lift upgrades and other changes are positives more than negatives. Having a full-size supermarket in Meadow Village makes it much simpler to stay in a condo/house for sure. But I'm the type who also appreciate the changes at Taos in recent years.Big Sky Is Sprawling, Luxurious and Pricey. And, Maybe, the Future of Skiing. (Published 2022)

The author was doing a follow up trip in some ways. She was at Big Sky for a couple days in 2019 using the MCP. But didn't get to ski at Big Sky that much. She had to fly out from Bozeman during a snowstorm so missed the fresh snow. I know because she was one of people sharing a condo with me that week.

Can someone give me the lowdown on "King" and a "DB" in this context? King of Corbett's? Enlighten me. Edit: I see what a "DB" is.

Jackson Hole stole the royalty idea from Big Sky which has a long standing tradition.

Ripitz suggested that I post my pictures of my trip there in 1996 to visit my friend Bill Hickey who was the reigning King at the time. He is an old friend from back in the day at Sugarbush, and I hadn't seen him for a few years, it was the first year of the Tram.....

I'd love to see this as at TR in the Trip Reports Forum. Anyway you could add some words? I'd move it over.
