What is your favorite winter memory from the resort?
Jillian BlakeleyBig Sky, Montana
“The first time I skied the tram, because that was last year. And when I went to [a] ski patrol dog presentation—I learned that the ski patrol dogs can dig people out of avalanches.”
Lisa KnorrBig Sky, Montana
“When Challenger [chairlift] first opened in 1988. John Kircher and Scott Bowen were loading the chairs, and [the snow] was like wet cement. I don’t remember the date exactly, but we had so much fun—I was with a bunch of friends. I was probably in over my head at that point.”
Alex BueckingGallatin Gateway, Montana
“Deep Tuesday: 12/12/12. The best day I’ve ever had up there. That was one time that we got over a foot of snow overnight. And it was raining down here [in the Meadow], so everyone was like, ‘I’m not going up there.’ Tuesday, December 12th, 2012. The deepest day ever.”
Aaron HallBig Sky, Montana
“My favorite memory is probably the winter of 07/08 and I was a lifty at Moonlight Basin. We had a really good crew and it was really laid back—it was back when Lee Poole owned it—so there were lots of employee parties and everyone had a really good time. It was my first big mountain experience and I got up right up into Headwaters [Cirque] just as soon as I could.”

We will combine the heart-opening powers of cacao with the transcendental powers of breathwork and sound. Together, these practices will give us the opportunity for a deep inward journey and peak state experience. This experience can activate and clear the chakras, release trauma, reset the nervous system, connect us with higher consciousness, and help us achieve self-actualization.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
