The ski slopes were still closed when we visited in October, but that's OK because we were in the mountains to take advantage of the Very Dark Skies to do some astronomy. I've observed from the Meadowlark Lake north parking area before but this time we scouted out the little road that goes past the ski lodge on the lake's south end. Perfect for our needs - and a pit toilet too! We had three gorgeously clear nights. Thanks ski lodge road!

Meadowlark is a blast. The mountain is super fun, the bumps are legit, and everyone there is genuinely friendly. Somehow they also have the best food I’ve ever had at a ski resort. Better than Big Sky, Jackson, Red Lodge, etc. Low-key place that absolutely delivers.

Absolutely amazing ski area! Large variety of terrain, especially for the size of the hill. Staff was super friendly. The lodge has one of the greatest fireplaces ever, worth sitting in front of even if you're not cold. The pulled pork sandwich was huge and tasted delicious. Our entire family had a great time!

We stopped for breakfast. The waitress was very nice and attentive. We were a bit surprised that only with 4 other people in the restaurant it took quite a bit of time to get our food. But the food was very good and tasty. The atmosphere was also very nice, it would have been more quaint if the fireplace was lit. For 5 people the bill was around $85, so not to bad. Well worth the visit.

A nice little local ski area to visit in the Bighorns. The snowpack was definitely low when I visited, but good times were still had. The lodge is really cool and offers great food options.

This resort was super fun, the terrain was dynamic and accessible to a variety of levels. The snow was also really good when we were there. The lift ticket pricing was lower than what I would expect and there were no lines. People complaining have probably never visited a big resort and shelled out $273/day pass without the rentals included only to wait in line for 45 minutes per run. This is a gem.

Very popular place for lots of my family. Great area. Love being higher up. My son loves their chicken fried steak. Also the most amazing fried chicken I've ever had. The staff is usually friendly. Nice fishing spots of you stay at the lodge. Great place. I will say I've never had luck with good worms there.
