The 35th Annual International Sportsman's Show was held this weekend in Denver, bringing the best in hunting, fishing & outdoor sports shows in the western United States. This year I brought along my four year old son Blake to checkout all the terrific gear & exhibits. For him it was like Disneyland as there was unlimited fun to be had, including learning to tie his first fly (the San Juan worm). For me, it was an opportunity to say hello and support the many outdoor enthusiasts I've come to know through business or personally over the years and meet new ones.
Earlier this month, Colorado Fay Ranches broker Coble Thurman attended a holiday tradition in wintery Grand County. Each December family members join together over a snowy weekend for the annual Tree Trimming Weekend. Located off the beaten path, tucked away hidden in the massive pines quietly sits a private, historic ski lodge reminiscent of the early days of skiing. Members enjoy ski in/ski out access, private room lodging along with wonderfully chef prepared meals served with festive cheer. On one afternoon, the older members hike up the property to locate, cut & carry back the Christmas tree back into the cozy, vintage ski lodge. This year's light snowfall made this a much easier task than in year's past as Colorado has yet to receive it's first big snow storm of the year. 
to count our blessings. The freedom of this great land in which we live. Its opportunity for achievement. The friendship and confidence you have shown in us. For all of these things we are deeply thankful. Our best wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving
I was up skiing this past Friday at Big Sky/Moonlight Basin in Montana with my 5 year old son Sam. It was a blue bird day with 6 inches of fresh snow. We’ve received another 20 inches since then. So far the snowpack is excellent which bodes well for fly fishing our rivers this summer. Big Sky/Moonlight is the largest ski area in the lower 48 states in both vertical feet and skiable acres and we have no lift lines. Pretty ideal place to live.
Yesterday we took the gang up to Rocky Creek Farm in the Bozeman, MT area and went nuts! We found our family Christmas tree (Griswald style) out in the forest – but still on the farm – and realized we’d forgotten the saw…oops! We got that taken care of and then proceeded to take care of business in cutting ‘er down and dragging the tree back to the Tahoe. In the mean time, the kids found the hot chocolate, hot cider (non-nuclear), and the photo opportunities along the way. Roarke, the family yellow lab, had a great time. I think he slept from the time we got home until the sun came up this morning too.
Hi Everyone – wow, what a great Thanksgiving weekend here in southwest Montana! Great food, friends, and just a fantastic time filled with gratitude and giving of what we have to others. We spent some great time at church last week, helping out with the family programs and then went over to the home of some friends of ours here in Bozeman, MT. Everyone just had a wonderful time and the food was excellent – fried turkey, smoked turkey, ham, veggies, salads, and all the good stuff. The kids had a great time out in the snow – we got a good 10 inches here in Bozeman this past week – and there were a few times we had to go out and hunt down the dogs…they were just having so much fun in the snow.
