The Shoshone could not be more convenient for a family skiing at Big Sky. Love this building. We’ve stayed here twice before and when we couldn’t book with the hotel we were very grateful to find this condo in the Shoshone bldg on VRBO. It is so close to the lifts, very convenient to the Mt. Village. There were some nice touches as compared to booking through the resort— the condo had games for my kids which they loved. That said, if I had the opportunity, I would book through the resort next time. The closets were full of cleaning supplies and/or locked so it was hard to find space for our ski boots and there was nowhere to stash our suitcases (which makes it tight when you have a family of 5 in there). As others have noted (but I failed to read through all reviews) there was no toilet paper, dish soap, sponge, garbage bags. The building doesn’t provide you all of the amenities we were used to from past stays — which we knew going in, but it still wasn’t optimal. That said, the location and conveniences of the Shoshone trump everyday. We had a great ski vacation!
