Montana

March 7-12, 2014

What a wonderful trip - it's becoming an annual thing for us to head to Montana for one last winter hurrah! Snowboarding, eating, drinking, hot-tubbing, sleeping, driving, etc. all with a parcel of pals makes for a very interactive and exhaustively wonderful five days.

We drove up on a Thursday evening to stay with Hubber's parents in their house (all ten of us - how generous!) and then carried on our journey across the border from there the next day.  It's about a 8 hour drive all told but wasn't too bad. Our first stop in America was the liquor store as it is cheaper than water there!  Seriously, it's good we don't live in the States or I can imagine liver issues developing.  In the end we took most of our booze back with us so we didn't go crazy this time.



We arrived at our run-down wonderful abode with the crickety spiral stairs that evening and went out to eat at 'Famous Dave's' where the barbeque is fit for kings.







We then spent the next three-four days snowboarding. I was able to last three full days snowboarding before my body gave up and I had to spend the fourth day in bed, but it made for a relaxing day and the snow was intense!  Evenings were spent barbecuing and hot-tubbing or watching TV.




























On our last night we went out to eat at the 'Haskill Grill' in Whitefish (fabulous meal, venue, service, 10 out of 10!) Such a wonderful time...





















Can't wait for next year!
