View of Headwaters at Moonlight

I have taken a lot of photographs at Big Sky but this has to be one of my favorite. It's taken from extreme skier's left high above the Moonlight trail at Big Sky. The terrain visible here is the Headwaters area at Moonlight Basin Ski Area (north side of Lone Peak). Yes, this is some of the most extreme lift-serviced terrain in the country. I also like the view of Lone Peak Summit peaking out above this ridgeline (you can actually spot the tram station on the summit if you look carefully).

This photo was taken 15 minutes after it was snowing really hard. Note the wild cloud formations behind the mountains. Oh yeah, and 30 minutes later, I was in one of the fiercest blizzards I've seen at Big Sky! Just an insane weather day...
