Fear not: What to do in November
By Derek Lennon EBS Contributor
Are you ready for November in Big Sky? The peaks are starting to turn white and the snow line is dropping quickly. Diehard skiers are earning their turns in the backcountry, as leaves are falling from trees in the Meadow and Canyon. It’s getting chillier every single day. November means that ski season is almost here.
November is far from the busiest month of the year. Now is prime time to organize employment for the winter season, find housing, and enjoy the laidback Big Sky attitude that we all enjoy. Be sure to get out and enjoy everything that’s happening in Big Sky in November. Mark your calendars now so that you know what’s going on.
