Pride. Is it slipping away with some? Reality TV shows seem to end with a bunch of bickering and crying. Is that real life? From the loggers fighting on the west coast to some east coast show about a NJ family, from being stuck on an island to traveling around the world, these shows are not real. maybe parts, but not real in the sense of being called “Reality Shows”. Bicker, fight, act tough, then cry, and this is supposed to be what we want our youth to be? Pride, this is not the true sense of pride. More on this to come…… after a comercial from our sponsor.
Creative, one of a kind, and of course, a "nice" hut at Blacktail Mountain, MT.
Driving up to ski resorts, anticipation will be to look up and see slopes, peaks, and chairlifts. One resort overlooking the real shore of a flat lake, has the lodge at the top of the peak. This gives all a bird’s eye view the extends for miles and miles in all directions. The snow here is white, the name has a black, and behind is a tail, and all have a family bond, high above the west shore of the flat lake. Blacktail Ski Resort, a stones throw south of Kalispell, MT., and high up a gravel road, past the grazing deer at the entrance.
Now this is a ski lift snow sculpter, what a master at work.
When MauiSkiBus arrived at Blacktail MT., the ski patrol duo team of a Fletcher and Cory were there to do a formal greeting, with a sense of pride in their gait. The day was spent with the duo, Flechter the “boss” of Cory in the winter and Cory the “boss” of Fletcher on the raft rapids in the summer. This opposite work situation shows in the pride and respect the Blacktail ski patrol duo have for each other, their work, and the beautiful landscape they get to play in.
When work is at the top of the mountain, it nice to have a bus for a home. Sweet!
This is a local resort, nestled high above the tourists, that do not know that above them, is a ski location, that has views, an atmoshere, and slopes, to satisfy all in your traveling party.At Blacktail Mountain, locals will invite and share storys of how this real ski location came to be. Just take a moment to see the Spence, or a John, and maybe Mike might have just the right brew for you. Blacktail Mountain, Montana, a ski resort not to miss when a lodge on top is on your bucket list.
