Big Mountain, USA
steve
Mon 19 January 2004 stevethis resort has something for all abilities, gets a good annual snow fall and is only a short bus ride from the town of whitefish. the hill is sound, it has a nice little run of kickers off the back, some nice tree runs on the north face, but for the ride of your life get in the hell roaring basin on a powder day and you'll never want to leave. the town is a good night out and not too expensive
