I think most of us Love Where We Live, because we take full advantage of all Montana has to offer. We ski in the winter, enjoy the rivers and lakes in the summer and are outside hiking, biking and running year round. In Missoula we have a lot of open spaces for our enjoyment, and many of those spaces are thanks to the work over at Five Valleys Land Trust. I love to support them whenever possible, and here’s a fun way to do it, while also getting out and enjoying this AMAZING SNOW!!!
Ski For Stewardship
Apply today, and get out there and ski! My photo is taken from skiing around my neighborhood- so wonderful!- BUT I love to ski at the Golf Course, up Pattee Canyon (you can have dogs on one side!) and up Lolo. There are also three great places highlighted via the link I need to check out. – I’ve copied below *** Source- FVLT.org
Get out there and enjoy the snow!
