Cal was so gracious to work with us on our dates. Our daughter was competing in the State Archery Tournament and her time was not assigned until a few weeks before our trip. We shifted our dates back and forth twice and he never grumbled. Thank you Cal for tolerating our timing! (P.S. She shot well and is going on to compete at Nationals!) It was really great to be able to do it all.

When we arrived we discovered this place was much more spacious than we thought! There was plenty of room for the whole family of six. The kitchen is nicely stocked with everything you need for a week and some unexpected extras, like sugar and cinnamon were in the cupboard which was great because I forgot those creature comforts at home. One tip though is to bring groceries or buy them on your way through Bozeman. Prices at the 3 tiny grocers in Bog Sky are high. While there is no dining table, and really no place to put one, the kitchen bar is sufficient and there were extra bar stools in the closet we pulled out for meals.

There were tons of games, dvds, reliable WiFi, and tv to entertain us when we weren’t skiing or hot tubbing. The hot tub was nice and warm which isn’t always the case in rentals. As an extra bonus there were ski boot dryers waiting for us too! There is nothing better than warm, dry boots every morning. And our gloves were easily dried in the clothes dryer too. The water heater also provided plenty of warm water for showers for all six of us even when running two showers at a time.

The only difficulty we had was the shuttle. It is highly unreliable. We ended up walking to the lift two of the four days which got us quite sweaty and made our feet sore. It is not as close as is preferable in ski boots but it is doable. Driving to the free lot may have been a slightly better choice but even the trailer taking people to the lift from there didn’t start very early. The good news is that we discovered it’s possible to ski back to the condo only having to take off skis to cross the last street. So the days ended beautifully. While I still prefer true ski in/out accommodations you simply can’t beat the price and comfort of this condo.
