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 my time in Montana, I'll be documenting our adventures. In addition, my boyfriend and I are backpacking Europe for two months this summer. Thanks for following along the journey!

298 Ridge Fork Road in Big Sky, Montana
Framed by Lone Peak and Yellow Mountain in Southwest Montana's Gallatin Mountain Range, just 20 miles from Yellowstone National Park, and 5 miles to the biggest ski area in the country, sits a 22-acre parcel near the year-round North Fork Trailhead. From here, you can access hundreds of miles of trails for horseback riding, back-country and groomed cross-country skiing, biking, hiking, fishing, hunting, and recreational ingress to a vast wilderness. Its quiet, private location is complimented by ridgetop views of surrounding mountains and valleys, with no other rooftops in sight. Lone Mountain Ranch, a family guest ranch just down the road, maintains over 85 km of trails. Beyond that, the Gallatin National Forest and Spanish Peaks Wilderness Area offer recreational opportunities to your heart's content.
The Main Home welcomes you with a massive 2-story stone fireplace and log accents, which precede a great room with vaulted ceilings and warm light from a large array of south-facing windows. An open floorplan allows the living space to flow into a dining area and kitchen, all with high ceilings and a true Montana atmosphere. A sunroom off of the kitchen offers a western-facing spot to relax after a day of skiing or hiking. It features 3 Master Suites on two levels, each with its own propane fireplace and private access to decks with gorgeous mountain views.
The barn, completed in 2011, is perhaps the best in Big Sky. 4 stalls, each with their own runout, showcase the finest finishes a horse and its owner would appreciate. A separate shower bay with adjoining commercial grade washer and dryer makes caring for your horses and their blankets simple and comfortable. The garage space accommodates hay storage, 3-cars, a full size RV... all on the barn's lower level. Upstairs, you'll find upscale guest quarters with incredible views and modern touches. There are two grazing pastures which can accommodate up to 4 horses.
For the Big Sky recreational enthusiast, there is no better spot than 298 Ridge Fork Road.

Big Sky: Iron Horse 4
In 1994, this Garaventa-CTEC quad opened expanded terrain beyond the Challenger lift. It was built in partnership with the Moonlight Basin development and provides access from some of the real estate. During this time, Moonlight Basin only wanted to be a couple access lifts into Big Sky and not it's own separate ski area. However, after failing to become a separate ski area everything is part of Big Sky again. Nowadays, this lift is primarily used to move between the Big Sky and Moonlight sides of the resort.
The length is 3215 feet and the vertical is 921 feet. Design capacity is 1800/hr but it seems lower due to the big chair spacing. It is a slow lift and always has low ridership. It will either be turned and extended to the top of Six Shooter with a loading carpet added or replaced by a high speed quad as part of the Big Sky 2025 plan.

A Drive in the Snow From Big Sky to West Yellowstone
Everyone thought a big snow storm was on the way to West Yellowstone, but it seems to have mostly stopped at Big Sky, Montana. These are scenes of that drive from March 23, 2010, most of which are from Yellowstone National Park.
Living in the View
Outdoor enthusiasts Bob and Pam Norton purchased a remote lot with panoramic views in Big Sky, envisioning a private, year-round retreat that integrated with the terrain. The site was cleverly named ‘Mountain Peek’ because of the natural landscape and views of Lone Peak, Pioneer Mountain and Cedar Mountain. “We wanted to live in the view,” says Pam. “We wanted the outdoors to come in.”
Through interviews with the homeowners, architect, builder and interior designers, viewers come to understand how Kolbe’s custom capabilities allowed homeowners to accomplish their goals.

Main Street Freedom @ 5-B Ranch, Big Sky, Montana
Refuge is yours in the heart of Big Sky, Montana, the sweetest little mountain town in America. On the fringe of old-growth forest, amid shifting clouds, sits the 5-B Ranch. With no homeowners association or covenants, this is a ranch retreat at which you may do whatever the heck you want. Constructed and appointed in 1984, mid-century architecture combines primitive wood and rosé stonework with sleep sheets of glass façade, encasing a contemporary spacious sanctuary. The adventurous couple or Renaissance family will find their niche here with unique spaces, such as a fly-tying studio, a dark room, and a soaring inspiration tower looking to Lone Peak... just perfect for a resident poet or artist. With 5 ensuite bedrooms, there's space to sleep dozens of folks. So invite your extended family, your friends, and (of course) your favorite real estate agent because this is a home that beds resplendent dinners, cocktail parties, and rollicking old-fashioned Western hootenannies on the deck with crisp Moscow Mules and endless Pendleton whiskey. Perches in a lush meadow and embraced on one wide by the West Fork of the Gallatin, your neighbors at the 5-B include elk, bighorn sheep, moose, bear, eagles, and trout. 1500 feet of waterfront teeming with Montana's state fish offers a testing ground for those flies you tied back at the house. Humans and horses with be cozily accommodated on the 5-B, with nearly 37 acres of hearty pastures, a hay shed, hitching posts, and a riding ring. Access to countless miles of ride-able National Forest trails is a trot away from your property. With privacy like this, you'd never guess that the Big Sky Town Center is only two miles as the crow flies and a mere eight mile jaunt to the Biggest Skiing in America. The 5-B Ranch is a collection of five hand-picked parcels, offered now by Tallie Lancey of Big Sky Sotheby's International Realty.
