Skiing isn’t the only reason to visit Big Sky

Big Sky has been hailed an “undiscovered gem” for Australian skiers with more terrain and less lift lines. This winter promises more spectacular skiing and boarding for Aussies powder fans. But winter isn’t the only time to enjoy this spectacular resort.
Summer at Big Sky offers an award winning 18 hole, 72 par golf course At 6500 feet above sea level, this famous golf course runs along the wildlife rich banks of the West Fork of the scenic Gallatin River, so both the views and the wildlife, such as beaver or deer, could be a unique (or welcome!) distraction. Golf not your thing? Take a zipline tour, try skeet shooting, archery, hiking, a high ropes course and the many other adventure or leisure activities available this summer. http://bigskyresort.com/things-to-do

Montana: Even Better By Boat

Rent a boat, motorized or man-powered and take it for a spin around some of the most spectacular lakes and unique sight-seeing Montana has to offer. There are plenty of rivers and lakes to explore, from Lake Como in Montana's Bitterroot Valley to the spectacular waters of Flathead Lake. After exploring Glacier National Park’s iconic Going- to- the- Sun Road by car or their famous red bus, why not try a boat’s eye view from one of the spectacular lakes within the park. Motorized vessels are allowed on McDonald, Sherburne, St. Mary, Upper Waterton, and Lower Two Medicine Lakes and are also allowed on Bowman and Two Medicine Lakes (ten horsepower or less). To rent a motorized boat, you must have a valid boat license and follow safety requirements. Fish, water-ski, sail or just laze your way through some of the most spectacular waterways and picturesque lakes in the US. http://glaciermt.com/boating.php
