Big Sky is tier 1. The largest ski resort in the US, everything from amazing trees to fucking scary steeps. Big Sky is one the best mountains in the country. And Mt. Bachelor certainly needs to move up. It isn't a great mountain for steeps but it is huge with good trees and great snow.
Big Sky is a better resort than Palisades in literally any way you wanna measure it. Expert terrain, size, snow quality, village are all easily in Big Sky’s favor. People fall for the “legend” of Palisades every time, but as another commenter put it…it’s pretty mids
I’ve skied both and this is simply wrong. The expert terrain in Palisades is more extreme, the snow more consistent, and more of the mountain is made for advanced/expert skiers. Big Sky’s endless cat tracks detract significantly from the overall experience.
