Big Sky Resort will host the ninth annual Turkey for a Ticket at the Madison Base Area on Dec. 11.
The event encourages guests to give to the local food banks in exchange for a free day of skiing. The Turkey for a Ticket food-raiser will help Gallatin Valley Food Bank, Madison Valley Food Bank, and the Big Sky Food Bank provide food for people and families in need this holiday season.
Starting at 8:30 a.m., Turkey for a Ticket allows participants to receive a free lift ticket valid for the day of the event in exchange for a minimum 13-pound frozen turkey or 20 cans of non-perishable food. The food banks are in need of specific canned items including fruit, tuna, chili, tomato sauce, and soups.
“We look forward to the Turkey for a Ticket event because it is our chance to guarantee that the shelves will be filled throughout the rest of the year,” said Sarah Gaither, Big Sky Community Food Bank operations manager. “Because of these Turkey for a Ticket reserves, we are able to cut down on food-purchase costs and focus our funds on keeping the lights on and refrigerators running.”
Since the inaugural event in 2007, Turkey for a Ticket has collected nearly 200,000 pounds of food for local area food banks. As the holidays approach, the need in the area food banks increases. Big Sky Resort hopes to incentivize community members to donate items to the food banks in exchange for day lift tickets to the resort.
Gold, Bronze, and Moonlight Area Season Pass holders are encouraged to give in exchange for a $20 Moonride demo ski or snowboard rental which can be used between Dec. 11 and 25, 2015.
“We continue to see nearly 3,000 individuals a month, and the Turkey for a Ticket Food Drive helps us meet the ongoing need, said Gallatin Valley Food Bank Operations Manager Jill Holder. “We are grateful for such a giving community.”
Food bank trucks, volunteers, and Big Sky Resort staff will be at the Madison Base Area of Big Sky Resort at 8:30 a.m. on Dec. 11 to accept donations.

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.
