Big Sky’s Longest Blue - “Horseshoe”

Skiing Big Sky’s longest blue cruiser - “Horseshoe”, January 2022
A long, winding, smooth blue cruiser on the far North of the resort where nobody goes, this fun run seems more like it should be categorized as green. It’s only the fairly steep and narrow entrance that can be a challenge, especially in flat light, icy conditions and with sparse small rocks littering its path. With its setting at the northern most part of the resort, the steep, narrow entrance remains shaded by Lone Mountain most of the day. It appears early morning is your best bet for the best lighting. Nevertheless its a fun and satisfying cruiser and worth the 4 lifts it takes to get there from Mountain Base, the main base area of the resort. It spans a total of roughly 2000 vertical feet over approximately 2.6 miles. So far to me, it’s the mother of blue cruisers, at least at Big Sky.
