Just another quick update on our adventure here in Big Sky country - from Ober's perspective.
Bellie flies home from Bozeman today.
We crammed in one final ski on Saturday at the LoLo pass from Montana into Idaho. Plenty of snow despite 2 days of rain down below. Classic only...no groomed trails for skating. Then a half hour drive off the pass on the Idaho side to hike 2 miles into a natural hot spring to soak our weary bones. Made it back out at a full moon sunset!
Almost got ourselves killed the other day on a detour adventure in Federal Bison Refuge with 3 inch thick ice backroad in mountain highlands - got back too deep with worsening conditions and almost lost the Sienna over a steep bank with us in it! For some reason, we stopped....kind of like Freddy Couples tee shot at the 12th at Augusta back in 92'...no explanation...we should have been toast!...minutes later we get plowed out by a road grater...all shook up and thanking all the appropriate entities that be!...on to Whitefish Montana that sits above the Flathead Lake( largest freshwater lake east of Mississippi)....if you've never made the trip here...put it on the list....my words won't do it any justice. Incredible body of water surrounded by 9,000 ft mountain peaks.
Last week in Missoula where Bellies teammate Becky Broeder lives. Cool town with about four micro breweries all close by so we can make it home easy squeezy like!~ Ober
