THE MAKING OF Family Tradition IN BIG SKY

A sisters weekend with Mom. Unplugged, in a 1970s time capsule at the base of Big Sky Resort.

Game night with the girls.

More likely than not, the memories made on those family ski trips growing up have been re-told.... year after year.... for decades, by Mom. She tells them as if they are mythical stories; with a twinkle in her eye. Mom recalls a memory of her children, how heroic they were as wee-ones, where they conquered the cold and braved the steep slopes of some fairy tale mountain way out West. It is experiences like these that form family traditions that last a lifetime.

Family ski trips foster the kind of memories where you get a lot of “Remember when mom tried to do a spread eagle…” or “Remember when Jamie jumped into the snow in her bathing suit…” or “Remember when I put 30 marshmallows in my hot chocolate…”

These are the memories you’ll always come back to, whether you’re nine or 90, parent or child!

Time spent outside among stunning, snow-covered peaks and magical mountains blanketed in powder create a unique connection to nature that can’t be experienced on many other trips. First-person experiences in the great outdoors inspire people to dream, tap into creative energy and, most importantly, value and protect the natural world.
