What I enjoyed about Big sky is their time keeping, the bus was able to keep up with time. But what I didn't enjoy was the temperature inside the Bus, it was very cold I'm not sure whether the heater was not working or the Drivers never wanted to open the heating. Imagine being in the Bus for long hours in extremely cold.
