🤠 Stay Montana Was Delighted to Sponsor Big Sky PBR! 🤠

That’s a wrap on Big Sky PBR! Stay Montana was delighted to sponsor this event and our team had a blast attending! We love supporting our Big Sky community and enjoying a fun summer evening under the Big Sky.

Big Sky PBR is in its 11th year and it gets better every year! It’s known as “Big Sky’s Biggest Event” and we can see why. There were so many fun things to do including bull riding events, nightly concerts, and an art auction, and many folks attended this action packed event!

For the eighth year in a row Big Sky PBR was named “PBR Event of the Year” by PBR’s Heroes & Legends. How cool is that?

We asked Reggie some fun questions to get to know her better!

• Where was the best vacation you ever took? The Virgin Islands are always amazing; the water there is unreal. My best vacation though… I traveled around South America for three months. I got certified in a dance technique in Brazil and got to explore the Amazon then went to Peru and hiked the Inca trail to Machu Picchu.
• What do you think is the most important thing in a home for a guest? A hot tub!
• If you could cook dinner for a celebrity in one of our vacation homes, who would it be and where? Not a food critic, that’s for sure; I’m not much of a cook. I’d probably choose a comedian because I love to laugh, and I hope it’d lead to engaging and diverse conversations. I would absolutely do it at Copper John Getaway. That place is beautiful, and I feel like the kitchen would make me look like I know what I’m doing.
• When you make a bed, hospital corners or no hospital corners? No hospital corners. My legs need freedom. I’m too tall for that.
• What’s your preference, vacation rental, hotel, RV, or tent? Tent! I love anything outside.
• If you were exploring Montana with Lewis and Clark, what was your favorite place? Anything along the Missouri River. I bet the fishing is awesome and the views are insane. That is big sky country.
• What is your favorite season? I’m the quintessential Montanan. Winter and summer all the way.
• Favorite sports team? I don’t do sports. I like hot dogs though. I usually go to sports for the food.
• What was the most fun you had during the Covid-19 shut down? I did a lot outside and thoroughly enjoyed that.
• Favorite book of all time? One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey
• Are you loyal to any brand? If yes why? Unfortunately, yes. I’m tall. It’s hard to find pants so when I do I stick to the brand.

We asked Laura some fun questions to get to know her better!

• Where was the best vacation you ever took? Fiji was amazing but I have to say my honeymoon where we ate, hiked & swam our way through Italy was the best.
• What do you think is the most important thing in a home for a guest? Personally, I love decks & views. Waterfront or ski in/out is a bonus!
• If you could cook dinner for a celebrity in one of our vacation homes, who would it be and where? Garth Brooks in one of the gorgeous Slopeside Properties! Then I’d make him go skiing with me! And oh yeah, maybe sing “The Thunder Rolls.”
• When you make a bed, hospital corners or no hospital corners? What are hospital corners? haha.
• What’s your preference, vacation rental, hotel, RV, or tent? Backpacking tent with my pup! Or ski-in/out vacation rental.
• If you were exploring Montana with Lewis and Clark, what was your favorite place? I’d love to check out the caverns but I really love the Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers and want to spend more time on them.
• What is your favorite season? Fall. Although this Montana Spring has been spectacular!
• Favorite sports team? Pittsburgh Steelers or LA Kings – I’m trying to learn how to play hockey!
• What was the most fun you had during the Covid-19 shut down? I put my kids’ plastic swimming pool in my kitchen, filled it with Cheerios and my kids and dog played hungry hungry hippo (sort of).
• Favorite book of all time? The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. “Don’t Panic.”
• Are you loyal to any brand? If yes why? Chacos!

Yellowstone National Park’s Northern Loop Reopens!

Yellowstone National Park reopened the northern loop on Saturday, July 2, 2022, after roughly two weeks since historic flooding and damage caused the entire park to shut down while around 10,000 people evacuated the area. The northern loop will be accessible through the southern entrances at West Yellowstone, and at Cody and Jackson, Wyoming.

The northern entrance and northeast entrance roads remain closed.

The southern loop was reopened on June 22, 2022 with license plate restrictions allowing visitors to enter the park. The license plate restrictions have now been lifted, allowing all visitors to enter the park from the designated entrances.

Northern roads opening include Norris Junction to Mammoth Hot Springs, Mammoth to Tower-Roosevelt and Tower-Roosevelt to Canyon Junction. The northeast entrance road, which goes through the Lamar Valley, is still closed indefinitely.

Backcountry Use: Backcountry use on the southern loop will be open to overnight use beginning Friday, July 1, 2022. Some areas will stay closed due to flood damage.

Biking: Biking in the park is still being evaluated for safety.
