We are a group (8-14) of guys that have been doing an annual ski trip together for 24-years now (We suspect it was a master plan of our wives to get rid of us for a week each year, but we're managing ok).
The Grey Fox home...
- The house and central location on the mountain are fantastic. Perfect for 12-14 peeps (a large group or 3 families plus a master suite for an additional couple).
- Easy parking for up to 5 vehicles with one of them (full size truck/Suburban) inside the heated garage.
- Very comfortable beds all around.
- Great bath facilities.
- Great ski run access/return right out the back door!
- Excellent boot drier (leave yours at home). Turn it on twice (2-hour timer) in the afternoon/evening, and first thing in the morning, and you'll be good to go!
- Tip: Leave your skis at the top of the run access ramp when you come in for lunch and they'll be no burden for the 30-yard walk/virtually zero climb back out after lunch.
- Excellent kitchen with all the amenities. Dual ovens, dishwashers, microwave, and you can even sous vide your entrée! All the appliances and cookware you will need.
- Gas grill on the back porch, works great.
- Great internet.
- Great audio/video.
- Great hot tub!
- If you are good eating in, buy all your groceries and enjoy the stay!
- If you are eating out, plan in advance and make reservations before you travel.
- Note: There was a minor power issue with one of the three upstairs rooms but the management (excellent by the way) was close by and right on it. Hopefully it is resolved before you visit but you should ask if no power in the one room for a short time is an issue.
Big Sky:
- Excellent terrain and great snow. Start far left on the East slopes and work West).
- Good lift capacity (just stay away from the Southern Comfort lift as it gets seriously backed up).
- Limited on mountain dining (and you must reserve in advance for up top) but not an issue with good ski in/out access).
- Limited off mountain dining (Riverhouse BBQ - 20-minutes away is great).
To reiterate:
- If you are good eating in, buy all your groceries and enjoy the stay!
- If you are eating out, plan in advance and make reservations before you travel.
- We'll be back some day for sure!
Management:
- High Altitude Property management did a fantastic job!
- Kudos to Mariusz and the team!
