I have done the SLC to Big Sky drive over 25 times. It's 360 miles from the SLC airport to the Big Sky turnoff. Use to rent front wheel cars but mostly SUV's. The road from Ashton to Big Sky is...

I was told 83% of the ski area workers live outside Big Sky (Bozeman/West). Also Cross Harbor owns 40% of the resort. Don't know how accurate that is.

Returned from Bozeman last night. I have been coming to Big Sky for over 20 years and have enjoyed having the mountain all to my self. My favorite place in the world. Even got married there 15 year...

Every trip to Big Sky always included a stop at the Corral. Had my rehearsal dinner at the Corral 13 years ago this summer while getting married in Big Sky. Watched the Super Bowl there earlier this...

About a year and a half ago on the hut trail, descending hikers were leaving the trail to the south about a .5 mile (+/- 500 vertical) below the Sierra hut. This became a problem. This summer...

Flying into Bozeman Thursday with my wife who hasn't skied in six years. She just cruises anyway. I will be out three of the days from Friday (2/3) until Monday. Know Big Sky well as I skied as least...

Way to go Snowman!

Made it to the Cure Hollywood Bowl show May 24 (Tuesday). Awesome. It was a great night.

After 23 years, I am finally buying a new mountain bike. Buying from the same shop guy. Their store carries a lot of Giant and Kona. He recommended 27.5 and said the Kona Blast was the best bang for...

After a fairly strong spring in LA county, we are seeing a pause in the market for July. List prices have increased and buyers have backed off.

Los Angeles county tax rate is 1.25% of the sale price annually. Community facility district fees (Mello Roos) can increase the rate up to 2.00%. CFD's are bonds up to 30 years. Mostly in newer...

I hike Baldy all the time. Official name is Mt San Antonio. Three ways to the top. Shortest and steepest (best way) is the Sierra Hut trail. Start at Manker flats/San Antonio Falls. Walk .7 miles on...

Was in the chair 2 parking lot Friday afternoon around 4:00 pm when the emergency vehicles rolled up. Didn't know it was that serious. It was windy but visibility was good on the lower half of the...

Being married, San Dimas/La Verne can be a great area. Stay away from Pomona. Much less traffic than the South Bay and West LA. Low crime rate. Mt Baldy ski area is 30 minutes away (Only steep area...

Great shots

This summer I start my 24th year as a residential appraiser in LA area. It's been a tough go the last three years with a lot of changes. Would love to move to Bozeman in about two years, but small...

Doesn't CNL have an option to purchase Big Sky by September 2010? They loaned Boyne 68 million in October of 2008. How will that add to the mix?

Hiked to Golden Trout lakes last Saturday. No snow on the north side of Eaglehead. Sadly back home. Miss Big Sky. Nice shots.

BIG SKY SOLD BY BOYNE

SAM Magazine — Big Sky, Mt., October 12, 2008 — Boyne Resorts has entered into an agreement to sell Montana's Big Sky ski and snowboard resort to CNL...

I thought the CNL deal fell apart last February. So it's back on and will close in two years? Challenger has been running three minutes slower the past two years. Another lift needing...

Rented Steep last week and watched it for the first time. Watched it again today before returning it. Then I bought it.

Prefer a 30 vs a 15. A fixed rate mortgage payment is the minimum payment you need to make for the term. But you can always pay more. You do save +/- 1/2% on the 15 year rate but your locked into a...

On 7/02, saw a black bear off hwy (93) 15 miles north of Lake Louise. Late afternoon of 7/05, walking back from Red Rock Falls (Glacier) in Many Glacier area looked across Bullhead lake and saw what...

Whorehey, good point. That's true. I always wear XL and I bought a large. The store didn't even carry an XL.

Returned from Big Sky two days ago. I would recommend the Mercury Mitt by Black Diamond ($79.95).
We skiied on Thursday (1/11) with a temp of 2 at 9:00 am. By 1:30 is was -10 and we called it...
