spring - the resort at paws up | montana luxury resort · while the beauty of montana is...

ndless stretches of unspoiled wilderness, dotted across 37,000 acres. Ten miles of the historic Blackfoot River. Three hundred head of resident elk. All nestled

beneath the most brilliant starlit sky you’ve ever seen. While the beauty of Montana is unparalleled, if you ask us, it’s the people of The Resort at Paws Up® who make this a place you want to return to again and again.

We love hearing from our guests and seeing The Resort through their eyes. And more often than not, it’s not just the things they did or the sights they saw—it was the staff member they were with who really made their experience special.

We’re so fortunate to work with people who are passionate about what they do and love nothing more than to share their wisdom with others—whether our guests are seasoned pros or trying something for the very first time.

Paws Up is home to chefs who don’t just place an order for supplies—they forage for ingredients in the forest. Our adventure guides go above and beyond to make sure that our guests have the time of their lives doing things they’ve never done before. And our wranglers consider this not just a job, but an honored family heritage that spans back generations. This is also a place brimming with artists and craftspeople who could find inspiration anywhere, and they choose to be here.

It’s been said that we don’t remember the words that someone says to us, but we remember how they made us feel. For this year’s program of events, we’ve chosen to honor the people who bring their best every day and make every experience unforgettable.

We hope you’ll join us this year at Paws Up. You know you’ll be welcomed with open arms.

WINTER

CHEF BEN SCOTTSous Chef

“Winters in Montana are long and cold, but there is no place more beautiful

to spend it in than at Paws Up. Winter cooking for me is all about bringing

comforting flavors to you after you’ve spent a day out on the ranch. We’re

inspired by the pristine mountains and rivers you’ll see while at The Resort.”

You won’t find any grapevines under the freshly fallen snow at Paws Up. But you will benefit from the fruits growing in the northern Napa Valley, where Kenefick Ranch has carved out a reputation for viticulture excellence. Come

get a noseful of these winter-welcoming reds as only the Kenefick family produces them. Get to know the distinctions between their wines with help from Caitlin and Chris Kenefick. These second-generation owners will host an informative library tasting and offer wine pairings with seasonal cuisine prepared by Executive Chef Sunny Jin.

Between sips, you’ll have time to explore Montana on a snowmobile or a horse. To fully relax, end your day with a glass of Kenefick Cabernet and a soak in a private outdoor hot tub.

LUCAS HILLMANGlamping Manager

“Spring in Montana is when everything thaws and reemerges. Everyone and everything

suddenly jolts back to life. It’s when you can still ski the high mountains one day and

float and fish the rivers and tributaries the next. It’s the best of both worlds.”

SPRING BREAK YOUR 37,000-ACRE PLAYGROUND AWAITS.

March 11 – 19 and April 13 – 21

After a long winter filled with work and school, get a much-needed breath of fresh air with a trip to Montana. Grab your family and head to The Resort at Paws Up for a rejuvenating spring break. You’ll embark on breathtaking adventures like ATV tours, horseback riding and sporting clays. You’ll dine on delicious meals and kick back in your spacious luxury home—and it’s all right here on property.

Not only that. There are life lessons to learn: Kids of all ages can discover a passion for outdoor skills with our popular Gettin’ Primitive workshops, while adults can channel their inner artists with a Paint ’n’ Pour session. The whole family can take a cooking class led by one of our renowned featured chefs. With everything that’s possible indoors and outside, you may never plan a beach trip again.

It’s rare to meet a superstar at the top of her game. And when the best of the best in food, wine and music head to Montana to collaborate? It’s unmissable. This spring, join us for an exhilarating weekend celebrating

COWGIRL SPRING ROUNDUPFOR ONE WEEKEND EVERY SPRING, COWGIRLS GET TO RETURN TO THE REAL WORLD.

April 25 – 28

In 1986, Diane Scalese and her husband started Sweetwater Silver in Montana, making spurs, bridle bits and other silver gear. With an interest in hand engraving, she began practicing and then searching for mentors, with little luck. Undeterred, Scalese went on to become a master engraver, earning the title of Engraver of the Year by the Academy of Western Artists in 2003. She holds master engraver status in both the American Custom Gunmakers Guild and the Firearms Engravers Guild of America.

Her photographs prove just how passionate Barbara Van Cleve is about Western ranch life. With 55 solo exhibits under her belt buckle, she exemplifies the grace and skill of Cowgirl Museum Hall of Famers. Her books, Pure Quill, Hard Twist: Western Ranch Women and Holding the Reins, show where the old West and the new West merge into art. Come shoot up Montana with the master herself.

Saddle up with cowgirls from all walks of life for a weekend of enlightening workshops and plenty of bonding around roaring campfires. The National

Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame honorees featured this year are gifted artists who showcase their talents through the distinct lens of a cowgirl. They’ll lead demonstrations, trail rides and cattle drives while sharing their inspiring stories. Exceptional cuisine and luxurious accommodations only enhance this idyllic getaway. You’ll be surprised at how quickly friendships form and memories are made. Before you know it, you’ll hear yourself saying, “See you next year!”

Ashley Collins moved to Los Angeles in the 1980s, armed with little more than talent, a strong work ethic and a passion to paint what had always inspired her: the soul of the horse. Despite dismissals from the art world, Collins persevered. As she gained success, she also expanded her charitable endeavors, worked against human trafficking, provided for orphans, helped to build schools, supported cancer research and worked to protect wild horses and abandoned pets. Now an internationally known artist, she is recognized for her large-scale paintings inspired by the West.

She’s always been your rock. So, this year, show Mom how much you treasure her by treating her to an overnight stay and a Montana-sized Mother’s Day brunch.

Fix her a Bloody Mary just the way she likes ’em while she taps along with Missoula singer-songwriter Tom Catmull. Let her enjoy an indulgent hot stone massage at Spa Town®. And there’s no reason why you can’t take your rock out to see the real thing: we’ve seen lots of moms rappel off the side of Lookout Rock.

Austin Jenckes gained fame as a finalist on TV’s The Voice. Based in Nashville, he’s been described as “a folk-rock power singer.” His 2018 single “Ride

Away” has been streamed over a million times on Spotify, and Rolling Stone Country included him in its “10 Artists You Need to Know,” calling him “a gnarly, but vulnerable country-blues singer with introspective songwriting chops.”

Jenckes and his band will headline Montana Master Grillers on Sunday night. Local acts will have you tappin’ your toes and using your best dance moves on other nights.

“No place combines beautiful scenery and human

interaction like Paws Up. Every time I arrive I am

overcome by the sheer power of the elements and

feel grateful to be around people who embody the

same magnitude of the surroundings. I always

leave with a refreshing sense of self and a deeper

Picnics, pies, parades, epic fireworks: we have all of your Fourth of July favorites at The Resort at Paws Up. In fact, it’s become a tradition for many families to return year after year. And what’s not to look forward to?

Along with those quintessential elements of an American celebration, there are also outdoor activities—such as fly-fishing, horseback riding and hiking—and expansive starry skies, live music, craft cocktails, line dancing, a float-decorating contest, lawn games, gunnysack races, glamping in the fresh mountain air and relaxing family time. It’s an experience you’ll never forget, and one you’ll want to repeat again and again.
