Ski Trip to Big Sky, MT

We were super excited that our friends the Gowski's planned a couples ski weekend in Big Sky, Montana.  Our first adult ski trip to one of the most beautiful places in the world!  We had such a fun time, so many laughs, great skiing, and our first snowmobiling experience!  We even snuck in a quick visit with Ben and Linda (just 3 hours away in Idaho Falls).  Our rental house was incredible, with ski in/ski out amenities and close to everything.

Matt and I had a great room with a huge bathroom

Preparing to "ski out" of our house on Day 1

That's the house we were staying at behind Matt there, and we would ski down the little backyard hill to get to the service road that leads to a neighborhood ski lift

Some of the lifts were super fast and super big!

We had an après ski lunch on the top of the mountain at this gorgeous restaurant!  It was just perfection, I loooooved it.

Katie and I went rogue and went off and did a few more runs right before the lifts closed in our "neighborhood" lift system and it was so fun

Hot tubbin'


Chris and Katie made us dinner one night at home and it was delicious

On our way to snowmobiling

Gearing up

We snowmobiled up a the mountain and then had free time with the snowmobiles up at the top, it was so beautiful and fun!  (And very, very cold that day!)



We went with the McCarney's - a half day tour















Post-snowmobiling lunch - huge nacho plate!



Nachos!!

Katie and I got massages after the snowmobiling tour and the guys hit a nearby resort and bar they had heard good things about.
Last night of dominoes

Final breakfast - leftovers all went into a yummy frittata
