Montana

The skimping that's going on in Montana hotels is getting ridiculous. From big things like not maintaining their pools and hot tubs, to small conveniences like pads of paper and laundry bags - we're all noticing, and we don't appreciate it as your guest.

We talk a lot about winter driving in Montana, but I'd argue that springtime can be the most sketchy with the most dramatic road conditions. Two things instantly come to mind: more wildlife and potholes.

It was a ROUGH week for so many folks looking to buy Big Sky PBR tickets, that went on sale March 1st. General Admission tickets were sold out in the blink of an eye, leaving scores of loyal PBR fans without tickets for the wildly popular July event. The fancier, more expensive Golden Buckle VIP tickets weren't far behind. They're gone too.

If you've ever wanted to own a home on the National Register of Historic Places, this 7,000+ square foot Billings, Montana mansion might be the best deal in the entire state. Although this lovely home is still out of most people's price range, it really is a Montana "bargain" at $169 per square foot.

Travel could be very difficult at times in parts of southwest Montana through Monday morning. Several inches, perhaps up to 6 inches of snow is expected to fall intermittently in this weekend storm.

The bad lip reading videos are now stuff of legend. The gang has now taken on the House of Representatives in a clip that covers just about every member, including Montana's elected officials. Why make fun of just one when you can cover the whole chamber?

The gardening season in Montana starts this weekend, according to local experts - at least when it comes to starting seeds indoors. Learning what works for our often challenging climate will be FUN and FREE with a special event.

It's 59 miles of the most cherished stretch of river in America, with one put-in and one take-out. About 1 in 10 people who applied for a private float permit for the Smith River got one for 2023. Nearly 40% of the float permits for The Smith were awarded to nonresidents of Montana. Do we have a problem?

If I had the money, this prime piece of land south of the MSU football stadium would be mine - and it would become the most insane, seasonal 'tailgate city' the world has ever seen.

It's literally the perfect storm for Butte, Bozeman, Billings, Baker, and everywhere in between. Heavy snowfall, dangerous winds, and drastically cold temperatures are expected across most of Montana. Don't be surprised if Emergency Travel Only statements are issued.

I'm not referring to the ubiquitous Swiss Army multi-tool, but most of us have one of those too.

Another powerful system is moving into Montana, affecting dozens of counties and popular mountain ranges - meaning powder days at the ski hill! Southwest Montana should be a large recipient of the snow, with up to 20" of snow at high elevations.
