Gallatin County Sheriff Search and Rescue volunteers responded to a stranded skier in Bear Basin on April 1 and a snowmobiler near Pioneer Mountain on April 2, according to releases from the Sheriff’s Office.
Gallatin County Dispatch received the SOS notification at 6:02 p.m. on April 1 alerting them of a skier that was stranded and lost in the Bear Basin area, northeast of Beehive Basin near Big Sky. The skier had planned to backcountry ski into Beehive Basin, however, became stranded due to equipment trouble, according to the release.
GCSSAR volunteers from the Big Sky Section traveled into the area on snowmobiles and transitions to skis to meet the skier. Rescue crews escorted the skier back to the trailhead and a Sheriff’s Deputy brought the skier back to their car.
At 7:40 p.m. on April 2, Gallatin County Dispatch received a call for a snowmobiler stranded in the backcountry in the Pioneer Mountain area near Big Sky. The rider had spent hours trying to get their snowmobile out before calling for help.
GCSSAR Big Sky Section volunteers responded from two different directions on snowmobiles and found the stranded rider, who was not injured but very cold. Rescuers built a fire to warm the rider up before returning the rider back to the trailhead, the release said.
In the release, Gallatin County Sheriff Dan Springer urged recreationalists to be prepared for equipment failure and commended the skier for carrying a GPS device that could be used to call for assistance.
It is important to recreate with a partner while in the backcountry as “having a friend to help if you are stuck, injured or lost is invaluable,” Springer emphasized in the release.

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.
