Moonlighting at Moonlight Basin

April 8, 2013 by thirdeyemom

Author’s note: This is my last post on our recent family vacation to Big Sky, Montana. To see other posts on Montana, click here.  Mid-week during our ski trip to Montana we opted to try out neighboring Moonlight Basin ski resort. Known as Big Sky’s little sister, Moonlight Basin is smaller, cheaper and humbler yet in my opinion equally if not more beautiful and pristine. We spent a wonderful day skiing there with our dear friends who joined us on […]

Finding liberation at Liberty Bowl

April 3, 2013 by thirdeyemom

“We have always been dreamers in Montana”. – Brian Schweitzer Day three skiing at Big Sky meant it was time to pick it up a notch and hit the bowls.

We traveled with another family to Montana and my friend and I rode the gondola up to the top to hit the back bowls. It was another sensational, postcard perfect day. […]

Big Sky Bliss

April 2, 2013 by thirdeyemom

“I’m in love with Montana. For other States I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection. But with Montana it is love. And it’s difficult to analyze love when you’re in it”. – John Steinbeck I have always loved mountains for as long as I can remember. Starting at the mere age of three, I begin skiing with my parents which over the years blossomed into a life long love of  downhill skiing. Today, decades later I’m in my parents […]

Home in the mountains

March 31, 2013 by thirdeyemom

Yesterday we left for a long awaited vacation and I can’t tell you how incredibly ready I was to get out of town. The last few weeks have been a bit difficult especially given our recent family stint with the stomach flu. Spring has not even attempted to visit and the weather has been unseasonably cold. All in all, my spirits were sinking and it was time to leave.
