Top 10 Reasons to Come to the 50th Annual VOS Conference – Even If You Don’t Ski
|
|
Dear VOS Members,
Did you know that there are tons of activities off the slopes!? I’ve compiled a top 10 list of activities to do at Big Sky if you do not wish to ski. See below. This list doesn’t include the great things like snow shoeing, cross-country skiing, and heated pools/hot tubs that are practically outside your door at Big Sky.
Below are activities, with links to their companies, that I ran into in my research that might spark your imagination. These are not specific recommendations and subject to availability.
|
|
1. Yellowstone National Park
Ski, Snowshoe, Snowcoach and Snowmobile tours available depending on snow levels and park conditions.
2. Snowmobiles! Lots of ways to rent.
3. Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center
Did you ever wonder how bear proof containers were tested? Visit this sanctuary that saves problematic bears and educates the public about bears and wolves.
|
|
4. Dogsledding!
5. Dinner Sleigh Ride - This is a special ride to a remote location for dinner.
|
|
6. Biking - 2 types
Fat tire bikes are fun for the whole family
7. Fly fishing - The fish are hungry and the rivers are still empty. Beginners welcome!
8. Ice Climbing for adventure without skis
9. Cutting-Edge Continuing Education
|
|
10. Social Activities at the conference including food, drinks, and entertainment:
