Jay on 'Big Rock Tongue' headwall under the Challenger Chair. It's steeper than it looks.

Big Sky says their skier density averages one skier per 3 acres.
Regular visitor Sam drives 17 hours round-trip from North Dakota
several times per year to enjoy this lack of density...

Most of our group. [Sculhane and Sam not shown]

If Big Sky averages 3 acres per skier, next-door neighbor Moonlight Basin must be 20 acres per skier.
Not a person, not even a track, in sight as I make my way down this gladed run.

Ever wonder what's on the other side of the 'Challenger' chair?
Or the A-Z chutes? It's now a resort called "Moonlight Basin."
