If you are coming to Big Sky, you might want to consider taking a day off from skiing to go snowmibiling in Yellowstone National Park, about 50 miles away. It makes for a fun day. Total cost, including sled rental, clothing, lunch at the lodge, is in the $150 to $175 range. Anybody interested???

From what I read of the park regulations, a reservation MAY be required. So think about it.

Hi Tim, 

Harry and I are interested in snowmobiling on Wednesday.  We still have all our gear from back in WI.  Any idea what cost would be without clothing? ( That didn't come out quite right, I don't mean we'd sled naked!)                            

Merry Christmas to all who read this....................Laura Hollman

I'll be coming to the reunion with Mac McCumbie, as well as his neice Tabitha and nephew Seth.  I was at big sky last time and went on the Ski Mobile ride though the park and it was an outstanding day. and I love the opportunity to share it with my kids.  so sign us up.

We will be flying out and be at the T-Lodge on the evening of the 23rd. So whatever the day that you have enough people to participate is fine with us.

Well then, we have 7 folks confirmed for Wednesday February 23 on a guided tour thru jellystone, eh, Yellowstone Park;  Dirty Harry and Lovely Laura, Deb Deskavich and Steve Roberto, Steve Ahnmark, Steve Lingnau and myself. We need 3 more to fill up an AFRC only tour which means we get to do it our way. You should figure almost $200 for the day. The snowmobile rental is $149. (AFRC discount); clothes rental is about $15 (most of us have enough ski stuff to not have to rent) $15 per snowmobile for park entrance fee and whatever you need for lunch aand souveners. The guide fee is fixed and is part of the snomobile rental, but we need to fill all 10 spots to keep from having a surcharge.

Anyone interested just respond to this post or contact me directly.

Thank you

Paul,

I spoke with a rental shop in West Yellowstone. Park rules state that all snowmobiles be “guided”. Groups are max  10 sleds, going to either Old Faithful or the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Basically a 9 to 5 venture.  There is also a daily limit on the number of sleds allowed in the park.

If there was enough interest, we could probably form our own group. I think this may be a situation where interested individuals need to make a decision prior to the reunion.

Paul and Tim,

Steve and I are interested in going on Wednesday!  Let us know what we need to do.

Thanks,

Deb Deskavich
