Sunrise 6:53 am: Big sky and superb food

On their last day in Big Sky country, it remained cool and blue. The crusty snow glistened as they made their way to breakfast and then a morning of snow shoeing on the well-groomed Lubrecht Forest trails, destination Jones Meadow.

An "over the top" trip pronounced the male DJ about his birthday surprise. Expected was the breathtaking scenery and the fun at getting to do a different kind of hiking (not to mention a rare horseback ride). Unexpected was the creative and inventive food, prepared by Paws Up chef Jacob and staff, who executed a "Wow" five-course tasting menu last night, giving the male DJ lots to ponder from a culinary standpoint.
