You'd expect it to be outrageous but it wasn't in the least. They walked through options and didn't push anything. Prices were great. They knew their equipment. Friendly and charming. Super cool. Picked up a Smith helmet and some other gear. Stop in and head upstairs for the retail store, you won't be disappointed.

I was really excited to purchase a merino wool pullover from East Slope Outfitters in Big Sky Town…read moreCenter. It was performing well, so I went back the next day and purchased a second one. Unfortunately, the first pullover started developing pulls almost immediately. One particularly long pull in the front snagged on something as minor as my cuticle--something that shouldn't even be possible. I also noticed additional pulls on the back, even though I had been careful with it. When I went into the store to discuss the issue, an employee was empathetic and directed me to the manager. However, the manager--a brunette helping a customer with ski goggles--was completely dismissive. When I explained the situation, she responded with, "Oh, it must have pulled on something." I acknowledged that it caught on my nail, but I was shocked that such an expensive pullover would be so fragile. Rather than offering any assistance or even engaging in a conversation about product quality, she quickly shut it down, saying they couldn't do anything since I had already had it for a few days. For a store selling high-end outdoor gear, I expected better durability and customer support. Spending around $130, I at least hoped for a discussion about quality assurance or a possible exchange. Instead, I was met with indifference. It felt like they cater more to tourists passing through than to customers who actually care about their purchases. If you're looking for durable gear from a store that stands behind its products, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

I'll definitely be back here next time I need tuning work done.

Holy hell. First time in Big Sky and I am absolutely in love…read more The resort is MASSIVE...like, "I‑did‑three‑full‑days‑of‑boarding‑and-still-didn't‑hit‑every‑lift" massive. Every time we thought we were getting our bearings, we'd discover another whole zone tucked behind a ridge. Big Sky really does live up to its name. We kicked things off on what was supposed to be a "warm‑up run," but joke's on us, it was long, challenging, and honestly kind of brutal... in the best possible way. These runs are no joke and some of the longest I've ever ridden. But once the legs woke up, the rest of the day just flowed. Endless terrain, great snow, and barely any crowds. Absolute bliss. Had to pop into The Montage on the far left side of the mountain, and wow, the cocktails are phenomenal. Pricey? Yes. But you're on a mountain this bougie... what did we expect? Totally worth it. And let's talk about that gondola to tram combo up toward Lone Mountain. INSANE. The views are surreal, the exposure is wild, and the access is next‑level. Will I ever attempt the Big Couloir? Absolutely not. Do I love knowing it's there for people braver (and crazier) than me? Absolutely yes. Between the bowls, tree runs, off‑piste pockets, and wide‑open cruisers, there's truly something for everyone and somehow it never feels crowded. Big Sky has officially earned a top spot on my favorite‑resorts list. No question, I will 100% be back.

Where to begin…read more First, when you are paying for a "butler" ski rental service, you would expect that upon providing rider information as requested by the company, it would provide clients with the setup appropriate for their specific parameters. Nope. Instead, my wife got a board that was the wrong size, with missing binding screws, and bindings that didn't even fit the board or the boots she was provided. It took three separate visits to resolve, wasting multiple days on the hill. Second, given the above errors, you would expect the problem to be resolved quickly and professionally. Also nope. Instead, my wife was told "maybe your husband has the right screwdriver." I generally don't travel with a set of Phillips heads, obviously. Then, when a rude and unprofessional manager named Vanessa came by to deal with the problem, my wife asked what the solution might be for her being set up with a board that -- according to this same manager -- was inappropriate. Vanessa's helpful response was to suggest that we "buy your own rig." We were also told that snowboards are sized solely based on weight, without regard to foot size, which is of course absurd in addition to being wholly incorrect. In short, this is a ski rental business that suggests its clients buy their own equipment when they are called out for failing to provide the right gear. That should tell you everything you need to know.
