I rode buck ridge yesterday and it was pretty good. The trail up is groomed and in good shape. On top its a little wind-blown. Theres a 1-2" crust on top in open areas, but under that is a few feet of powder. Conditions are good for someone just learning how to ride mountain powder, with that little bit of crust on top, its pretty forgiving. The snow is better in the trees, bottomless in a few areas I rode. Alot of untracked areas still left to explore.
Big Sky area

Call 320 Guest Ranch: www.320ranch.com I think they have everything you're looking for. Its right on hwy 191, in between the trailheads for taylor fork and buck ridge. You can ride right from the lodge. its a real nice place, cabins and such. also, the corral restaruant is a few miles down the road, and half moon saloon is nearby and towards big sky. the corral has really good food, but half moon saloon has the most incredible BBQ ribs and brisket and the staff at half moon are alot fun!
You better get here soon...the snow has been great this year.

I know nothing about the 320 guest ranch but the Corral Bar Restaurant & Motel is not that spendy. Only $60 a night and $20 T-Bones or PrimeRib!!!:beer;

Where you coming from Blackvelvet?
We have usually stayed at the 320. Ask them about a group rate. Real nice log cabins. Continental breakfast included. Somewhat pricey but they have a variety of sizes. Lodge has small bar and food is good ($$) We usually eat there one nite then go to Corral (cheaper but good)
Corral only has about half dozen rooms available but eats and bar is right there. Used to have hottub. Only stayed there once, (they dont allow pets) Buck Creek trailhead next to Corral. Rainbow Lodge is across the road from Corral but more costly.
Taylor Fork turnoff is about 2 miles south of 320 but I wouldnt want to ride the hiway ditch to it. There is a parking area right off the hiway or go back in about 4 miles plowed road to the Trailhead parking lot.
Cinnamon Lodge used to have great Mex food on Fri or Sat night. + bar. (Heck, every place in Montana has a bar.)
Big Sky turnoff is only gas station. Corral is about 5 miles south and 320 another 5.
