4 THINGS TO DO IN MONTANA
Have you ever visited Montana? These are a few of my FAVORITE things to do during the wintertime when family comes into town.
Recently, my dad and sister flew to Big Sky for a weekend vacation - with only a few days to soak up the views, watch to find out what we did!
What are other things we should do + see while in Montana? Tell us in the comments below! We'd love to hear from you. :)
1.) Fuel up in Big Sky, Montana - We grabbed lunch at the Hungry Moose Market in the main town center of Big Sky.
- This tiny market has super fresh ingredients, tasty baked goods, smoothies, and delicious coffee. You can even grab a few snacks to-go from their deli + grocery store.
- They have two locations in Big Sky which you can learn about here:
- Also, you can literally fuel up your car + camper at Big Sky! There are two gas stations in town which make a great pit stop on the way to your next destination.
2.) Rent Snowshoes - Snowshoeing is a fun way to pass the time during the winter months in Montana.
- Pack a backpack with water, rent a pair of snowshoes, wear sunblock + a hat, and enjoy the great outdoors.
- Our snowshoes were ~$5 per day at East Slope Outdoors in Big Sky, Montana. Visit their website here:
- Just remember to check that they work properly before heading out on your wintertime adventure!
- We hiked the Bighorn Pass Trail in between Big Sky and West Yellowstone: Bring bear spray if it's late spring!
3.) Drive Through Yellowstone - We drove through Gardiner, Montana and entered Yellowstone National Park from the northern entrance. It's a great place to enter the park because you can actually drive through the Roosevelt Arch, see a thermal feature right away (Mammoth Hot Spring), and work your way over to Lamar Valley where animals are known to gather. We spotted bison, elk, deer, and more!

4.) Ski Big Sky Resort - My dad was a beginner skiier and did the bunny hill the entire day. During the 2016/2017 winter season, I worked at Big Sky Resort all winter long and skiied most of the mountain!

About Me: Last year, I fell in love with skiing and picked up a part-time seasonal job at a Montana Ski Resort for the Winter 2016/2017 season. Prior to moving to Montana, I lived in NYC for five years and worked at a large advertising and marketing agency. Originally from Florida, living near the Rocky Mountains has been an incredible opportunity. Throughout the winter, I'll be documenting my experience working at a ski resort and also as a freelance marketing consultant. Thanks for following along! PS - I learned how to ski a year ago at 28 years old. :)
