BIG SKY – Women are kicking off Big Sky Resort’s ski season with a two-day Women’s Early Bird Clinic Dec. 6-7.
The Women’s Early Bird Clinic is taught by women and focuses on individual performance and mastering new techniques. Lead by Brenna Kelleher, PSIA instructor and former Montana State University NCAA ski racer, this specific clinic is a building block to advancing a woman’s skiing and allowing her to gain confidence on snow. The program is geared toward women already skiing at an intermediate level.
The resort is hosting Military Appreciation Weekend, Dec. 12-14, to thank our armed forces for their service to our country. Active duty or retired military men and women ski or snowboard for free with valid military identification and their immediate families receive $41 lift tickets on Saturday and Sunday. Military lodging specials are also available Friday and Saturday nights.
“The fact that the resort recognizes the sacrifices these people have made –being away from family and Montana – is great,” said Dick Fast, retired Air Force colonel and ski instructor at Big Sky Resort.
Active duty and retired military members and their immediate families will also receive discounts on lessons, activities and equipment rentals with military identification.
“We feel it’s essential for military families to enjoy the outdoors together, and what better way than skiing?” said Sheila Chapman, Big Sky Resort public relations manager and daughter of retired Air Force Major Craig Chapman.
On Dec. 12, Big Sky Resort will also host the 8th annual Turkey for a Ticket fundraiser at the Madison Base Area starting at 8:30 a.m. for the Gallatin Valley, Madison Valley and Big Sky food banks. This event encourages people to give to local food banks by thanking them with a free day of skiing.
Participants receive a free lift ticket valid for the day of the event in exchange for a minimum donation of a 13-pound frozen turkey or 20 cans of nonperishable food. The food banks are looking for the following specific canned items: fruit, tuna, chili, tomato sauce and soups.
Since the inaugural Turkey for a Ticket in 2007, the event has collected a cumulative total of 188,788 pounds of food for area food banks. As the holidays approach, the need for food donations increases.
“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 Jill Holder, Gallatin Valley Food Bank operations manager. “We are grateful for such a giving community.”
The Outlaw Partners is a creative marketing, media and events company based in Big Sky, Montana.

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.
