WHERE WILL THISSUMMER TAKE YOU?

Have you been longing for meadows of vibrant wildflowers, lush green forests, crystal clear rivers and one perfectly manicured golf course? We hope so, and we can’t wait for you to arrive. The best part about hiking through a field of Indian Paintbrush, making that perfect cast or finding the fairway as the sunset illuminates the Spanish Peaks, is you’re as alone as you want to be.

That being said, if you tire of the awe-inspiring, take your breath away, whip out your bear spray type of adventures, we have plenty of opportunities for human interaction. Group activities focus on enjoying the terrain around the Club, from Ousel Falls to Big Sky Resort. Complimentary guided hikes, introductory courses to mountain biking and archery, group runs and bike tours are offered weekly. If the day or time doesn’t suit your schedule, reserve a private instructor or guide for the activities listed above, as well as trips into Yellowstone National Park.

There are four sessions of Kids Camp this summer, two in July and two in August. Grandchildren and friends’ kids are welcome and encouraged to attend. Please see page 20 for camp session themes and details.

Hey Ladies! We conducted scientific studies this winter to really pinpoint what it is you desire from a long weekend with your best girlfriends at Spanish Peaks. Allow me to introduce R3 on the Range. It’s less “boot camp” and more beauty, health and wellness. Watch your mailbox for the full invitation.

Chef Jan and the culinary team are confident that all expectations will be surpassed this summer. The complimentary members’ only Sunday BBQ’s begin on July 10th and the flavors will be unique. This summers’ Chef’s Dinners are themed A Journey through Italy, Southwestern Extravaganza and Where East Meets West. Turn to page 14 to find out more.

Don’t miss Wednesdays with Weiskopf, the Tender Belly Open, Men’s Weekend, the Guest Speaker Series and the weekly farmers markets and free concerts in Town Center. Please peruse the following pages for details on all Club programs and activities as well as recreational pursuits in Big Sky and beyond.

Your journey this summer starts here. We look forward to seeing you soon!

We are very lucky to observe wildlife in our backyard at Spanish Peaks. Did you ever wonder how elk could grow such large antlers every year?

Only male elk, known as bulls, grow antlers. Antlers differ from hollow horns of cattle, as they are comprised of true bone. The bull’s fresh growing bone is wrapped in skin with blood vessels, referred to as velvet, which provides vitamins and minerals necessary for the antlers to build up the bone. A healthy bull elk can produce up to ten pounds of velvet in just one year, and velvet wrapped antlers can grow up to one inch in just one day!

Pedicles are permanent skin covered nubs that protrude from an elk’s skull to support the antlers, which begin to grow in late March or early April, depending on the age of the bull. During the early to middle stages of growth, the antlers are sensitive and can damage easily if a bull is spooked running through trees.

After the antlers are fully developed, a ring forms at the base, cutting off the blood supply to the velvet, which eventually falls off. At this point antler growth is complete. The bull darkens his antlers by rubbing them against trees, shrubs and the ground. Bulls that rub their antlers against darker trees like Spruce or Pine will have darker antlers compared to bulls that rub on Juniper or Cedar.

Shortly thereafter, it’s time for the rut - where the bull rakes his antlers in a show of dominance to attract cows or to duel with his adversaries for breeding privileges. Once the bull has wooed cows to his harem, the levels of testosterone decrease and the bull sheds his antlers.

Bulls reach peak antler development between 8 and 12 years old. Older, mature bulls shed their antlers earlier and begin re-growing new antlers earlier than bulls that haven’t reached maturity. This is why serious horn hunters begin looking for sheds in March, hoping to find the largest fresh sheds. If you happen to stumble upon an elk antler, keep walking around, as the other one may not be far away!

BITTERROOT: The Bitterroot grows in low to moderate elevations on open, dry or rocky shallow soils, among sagebrush or grassland. It bears a single pink to lavender or white flower and has a short blooming season, varying from mid-May to late June. Lewis and Clark are credited with the “discovery” of the Bitterroot plant in the Montana valley, hence the valley’s name. The Bitterroot was selected as the Montana state flower on February 27th, 1895.

COMMON PAINTBRUSH: Most Montanans will readily identify this plant as “Indian Paintbrush” but there are 22 different species of Paintbrush in Montana. Paintbrushes draw water and nutrients from nearby sagebrush or grasses and produce nectar. The bright red, scarlet or reddish orange petals attract immediate attention and the flowers are edible.

SILVERY LUPINE: Ten Lupinus species grow in Montana but Silvery Lupine and Spurred Lupine are the most common in Big Sky and the Gallatin Canyon. Silvery Lupine prefer pine forests, grasslands and subalpine slopes. Spurred Lupine have a unique spur or sac on the calyx. If you happen to see a white Silky Lupine, take a photo, because it’s a rare treat!

GLACIER LILY: Commonly called Dogtooth Violet, Glacier Lilies sometimes grow in massed abundance in alpine meadows, appearing soon after snowmelt, and sometimes push through retreating snow banks. All parts of the Glacier Lily are edible and wildlife, especially bears, enjoy feeding on them in the spring.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN IRIS: Also known as the Missouri Iris or Blueflag, the Rocky Mountain Iris prefers marshy soils on open plains and meadows at lower elevations. Meriwether Lewis collected the wildflower in 1806. The roots and the shoots are toxic, so take a photo rather than a bite of this pretty flower.

BEST TIME OF THE YEAR TO PICK HUCKLEBERRIES: Late July to mid-August is the best time for harvesting above 3,500 feet elevation. The higher you go, the later in the season you’ll find ripe huckleberries.

HOW TO IDENTIFY HUCKLEBERRIES: Huckleberries grow on tangled bushes with green or reddish-green oval leaves. The berries sag low, under the leaves. The easiest way to identify the bushes is to simply peek under the growth and look for berries.

Huckleberries are a favorite food of Montana’s Grizzly Bears, so when you head out on your huckleberry adventure, don’t forget to sing your favorite tune and always carry bear spray.

TRAIL RIDESHorseback riding is a great way to take in the views of Big Sky and the surrounding area. Many local outfitters offer rides suitable for visitors ages six and up and pony rides are available for younger kids. Rides vary in length, from one hour to a full day and venture through the Lee Metcalf Wilderness, Gallatin National Forest and Yellowstone National Park. Horseback riding offers great opportunities for wildlife sightings. It is not uncommon to see elk, moose, deer, geese, bald eagles and more.

HORSEBACK & FLY FISHING TRIPS Select Outfitters combine two of the greatest summer activities into one fun-filled day: horseback riding and fly fishing. These trips offer an excellent opportunity to fish crystal clear mountain lakes and streams while enjoying stunning alpine scenery. Our preferred Outfitters have the permits to lead trips into the Spanish Peaks Wilderness Area and Yellowstone National Park and provide everything needed including fishing gear, float tubes, flies, lunch, beverages and of course, gentle experienced horses.

PACK TRIPS Step back in time to the days of the Lewis and Clark Expedition and experience all that is Montana on an overnight multi-day Pack Trip. Pack Trips are based on the permits that the Outfitters acquire for the summer season and the locations, durations and schedule varies, however Yellowstone National Park is a popular destination. From saddling up at the trailhead to stepping back into your car headed for civilization, the wranglers will take care of everything. All you need is a pair of jeans, cowboy boots, a camera and a thirst for adventure!

HORSEBACK RIDING

WHITEWATER RAFTING

The Gallatin River may be best known for its exceptional fly fishing but the combination of winter run off and vibrant currents, make for some of the most exciting whitewater rafting and picturesque river trips in the country. The Gallatin River is a classic whitewater run with Class I to IV rapids that increase in intensity as you float downstream.

Whitewater rafting on the Madison or Yellowstone are also possible. Combination trips of rafting and horseback riding or fly fishing are available as well. If kayaking is more your speed, rentals and private instruction are available.

THE LOWER-WHITEWATER TRIP (CLASS III– IV)Under the dramatic rock walls of the Gallatin Canyon, this incredible ride plunges rafters through Screaming Left, around House Rock and down the Mad Mile. May and June bring the highest water levels and this trip may have age restrictions during these months. As the summer progresses, children as young as six years of age may participate.

THE UPPER-WHITEWATER TRIP (CLASS II– III)With towering rock formations, occasional wildlife sightings and a few good soakings, rafting the Upper Whitewater makes for a great day on the water. During the month of June, this high-water adventure is a very exciting Class III ride and age restrictions vary with water levels. Throughout the summer, the Upper Whitewater stretch is best suited for families with younger children, looking for an introduction to rafting.

THE SCENIC FLOAT (CLASS I – II) This is a great trip for those who want a mellow cruise through stunning scenery, under the shadows of Lone Mountain. The Scenic Float meanders through the upper canyon where wildlife sightings of deer, moose, bear and elk are quite common.

Imagine floating down a stretch of the Upper Madison, rugged cliff walls on one side, expansive views on the other, a bald eagle resting on a Cottonwood branch above, and one of Big Sky’s best guides coaching you through each cast, teaching you about fly selection to “match the hatch”. As a cloud passes in front of the sun, your guide tells you to cast to that riffle of water right off the bank. Next thing you know a big Brown Trout rises to eat your dry fly after a carefully placed cast. F ISH ON!

Anglers travel from all over the world to fly fish in Montana, yet we are within driving distance to five world class Blue Ribbon rivers. Whether it’s your first time picking up a fly rod or you mastered the double haul years ago, Big Sky has seasoned, knowledgeable, friendly guides, ready to take out any ability level. Many clients are beginners who start with a casting clinic and a half-day walk/wade trip on the Gallatin. A full day float trip on the Yellowstone or Madison is an experience of a lifetime and sure to reward any angler. If you are seeking a truly unique Montana experience, try a horseback ride to a serene alpine lake, followed by an afternoon of float-tube fishing.

GALLATIN The Gallatin is the most accessible river to Big Sky and only a ten minute drive from the Clubhouse. Pullouts along Highway 191 give access to pocket water and deep runs where drifting nymphs may be the most consistent, but a variety of hatches provide dry fly anglers with plenty of opportunity as well. There is an abundance of Mayfly activity that begins early in the summer and lasts into the fall and Caddis Fly hatches happen throughout the summer months. The key to success on the Gallatin is to move frequently and change your fly often if it doesn’t garner any attention.

MADISONImpressive scenery, high trout counts and proximity to Big Sky make a float trip on the Madison pleasurable for the novice angler and a must-do for the serious fisherman. The drive to the Upper Madison is spectacular in itself, passing through Yellowstone National Park and alongside Hebgen and Quake Lake. Once on the river, anglers have a chance to catch trophy Rainbow and Brown Trout, while enjoying expansive views flanked by the towering Madison Gravelly and Tobacco Root mountain ranges. The famous Salmon Fly hatch begins at the end of June when the foliage comes alive with the 3 inch insects. When the Salmon Fly hatch subsides, grasshoppers, ants, beetles and hatches of Mayflies and Caddis continue throughout the summer.

YELLOWSTONEThe Yellowstone River is the longest undammed river in the lower 48 states with excellent fishing from its tributaries inside Yellowstone National Park, through Gardiner, Paradise Valley and Livingston. The Yellowstone is primarily fished from a drift boat as the width of the river varies from 75 to 300 feet. Most clients leaving from Big Sky will spend the day floating through Paradise Valley, arguably the most scenic stretch of the river, hooking into native Cutthroat, Brown and Rainbow Trout. Similar to the Madison, the Yellowstone has a great Salmon fly hatch. Trout like to gorge on Salmon Flies and will travel to eat your dry fly. At the end of July, typical Mayfly, Stonefly and Caddis hatches are predominant. Towards the end of summer, the terrestrial fishing begins and the Yellowstone offers some of the best grasshopper fishing around.

NATIONAL PARK SERVICE CELEBRATES 100TH ANNIVERSARY

1870 Henry Dana Washburn leads the expedition to confirm rumors of Yellowstone’s geothermic wonders.

MARCH 1, 1872 President Ulysses S. Grant signs the bill creating Yellowstone, the first National Park. The U.S. Congress creates Yellowstone National Park from 2 million acres in Wyoming and Montana territories “as a public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people.”

1903 President Theodore Roosevelt visits Yellowstone.

1906 The importance of preserving prehistoric Native American sites is recognized with the passage of the Antiquities Act, giving U.S. Presidents the authority to declare ‘sites of value’ as national monuments.

1926 Last remaining wolves die in Yellowstone.

1968 President Lyndon B. Johnson signs the National Trails System Act and the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Systems Act.

The Big Sky Conservatory, now in its third season, has a singular focus: bringing the best current artists to the theater to teach those who may someday join their ranks, and in the process, create stunning new original art. TWIN SKY DANCE INTENSIVE: JULY 3 – 17The founding conservatory performers, James Sewell Ballet, return to Big Sky to create yet more exuberantly athletic and creative works, reflective of this Minneapolis-based troupes natural inclination and the inspiration of the adventurous Big Sky environment.

BIG SKY THEATER WORKSHOP: JULY 24 – 31Playwright Stephanie DiMaggio’s new play, “Levity,” which premiered at the conclusion of last season’s workshop, clearly demonstrated to Big Sky audiences the memorable power of pure, professional actors working with the brilliant material of a renowned playwright. No sets, no costumes: no problem. DiMaggio and Tony Winner Michele Pawk and her husband, Tony nominee John Dossett return this year with a new director and new actors.

BIG SKY STRING LAB: JULY 31 – AUGUST 7The Big Sky String Lab is new to Big Sky Conservatory and brings together dedicated strings players from all over the country to create new works and deepen explorative practice into what a chamber orchestra can be.

JUNE 23: THE BLACK LILLIES The summer concert series kicks off with the Black Lillies from Knoxville, Tennessee, who recently released their 4th album. Their music blends rock, country, blues, bluegrass and jazz. After the release of their first album the band made a quick impact on Knoxville’s growing music scene. In 2014 Rolling Stone Magazine selected the Black Lillies as one of the hottest up-and-coming acts in country music.

JUNE 30: BLITZEN TRAPPERBlitzen Trapper’s music evolved over the last decade, bouncing from indie folk to art rock, to experimental folk before settling into a rich brand of alternative country. The band formed in 2000 in Portland, Oregon and hit its creative peak with their 2008 album, Furr, a collection of 13 songs that combined their many influences into a unique Americana sound. Blitzen Trapper taps into their ‘70s country and Southern rock influences without losing their contemporary appeal.

JULY 4: THE TINY BAND & FIREWORK DISPLAY The Bozeman-based Tiny Band repertoire is a blend of Motown, rock, soul and pop standards that keeps the dance floor pulsing. With hits ranging from Stevie Wonder to The Beatles, Michael Jackson to Adele, they’ll get you out of your seat and onto the dance floor. What better way to celebrate our country’s birthday than with a dance party!

JULY 7: BAND OF HEATHENSFormed in Austin, Texas, The Band of Heathens started out as a spontaneous side project but soon became a full-fledged rock and roll band. The group’s first two albums were both live in 2006 and 2007, while their third, simply called The Band of Heathens was produced by Ray Wylie Huubard and released in 2008 on BOH Records. Band of Heathens gained strong notices in Americana circles and has been described as “country-tinged rock, blues and folk with an audiophile’s aesthetic in musical gear and tones”.

JULY 14: JAMIE MCLEAN BANDJamie McLean and his music have traveled all over the world and left many marks along the way. He has played alongside Elvis Costello, Widespread Panic and Dave Matthews to name a few. McLean’s Southern Roots mixes with rock, blues, R&B, funk and soul, creating “honest rock and roll that pulls no punches”.

Combine her deeply expressive voice and unparalleled songwriting skills and Amy Helm delivers a timeless sound when performing.

AUGUST 18: DEADPHISH ORCHESTRAThe Deadphish Orchestra (DPO) is a quartet of Colorado musicians and close friends who played Grateful Dead songs and Phish songs together. They wondered what would happen if they tried to merge the music of these two bands. The Grateful Dead are an earthy, folky, bluesy band where Phish is sharper around the edges–funky and more aggressive but both bands have an improvisational approach to their live shows, and it is in that spontaneity where the magic really happens. DPO have conquered the unique challenge in merging the two styles.

AUGUST 25: FRUITIONThe first time they ever made music together, Fruition’s three lead singer-songwriters discovered that their voices naturally blended into beautiful three-part harmonies. In the last eight years, the Portland, Oregon-based quintet has grown from a rootsy, string-centric outfit to a full-fledged rock band with an easy but powerful grasp of soul, blues, and British Invasion era pop. Last year saw them appear at Bonnaroo, Northwest String Summit and Telluride Bluegrass where Rolling Stone cited their artful choice of covers and “raucous originals filled with heartfelt lyrics and stadium-worthy energy.”
