The  music of Mike Beck and The Bohemian Saints has also been heard  throughout the United States and internationally, including NPR Radio,  CBC, Sirius and the BBC, among others.

<title>Big Sky Arts Council Free Music in the Mountains Concert featuring John Reischman and the Jaybirds</title>
<link>http://www.bigskytowncenter.com/big-sky-montana-events/1401/big-sky-arts-council-free-music-in-the-mountains-concert-featuring-john-reischman-and-the-jaybirds.html</link>
<description>Years  of European and North American tours, five critically acclaimed albums,  two Juno nominations and two Canadian Folk Music Award  nominations...little wonder, the buzz around John Reischman and The Jaybirds continues to grow. Like the mandolinist at its helm, the group  fashions a stylish, elegant take on bluegrass that is at once innovative  and unadorned, sophisticated and stripped-down, happily old-fashioned,  yet unselfconsciously new. To see their live show is to believe it. A  genial blend of story-telling and side-show humor provides the backdrop  to their studied performance of original songs, instrumentals, and newly  arranged traditional material.Hailing from the variegated ranks of the contemporary West Coast  acoustic music scene, each of these birds has certainly earned his  wings: the list of projects they have contributed to over the years is  nothing less than a short list of acoustic power houses. Together, their  seamless ensemble work makes for one of the freshest, most tasteful  band-sounds on the folk and bluegrass circuit today.Whether setting the tone for a mournful ballad, laying in fills for one  of the groups unique original compositions, or providing essential  rhythmic foundation to breakneck speed bluegrass, John Reischmans mandolin acts as the sonic heart and soul of the band and its  conceptual touchstone. He is a mandolin master of the highest caliber,  having garnered praise from every corner of the music world for his  tasteful, classic, and versatile technique bar-none. After cutting his  teeth with West Coast groups of now-legendary status (the Tony Rice  Unit, the Good Ol Persons) Reischman has once again reached new heights  with the Jaybirds; this time, it is with a singular sound built around  his musical tastes and fortified by the intrepid spirit of his musical  partners.Park opens at 6 p.m., music starts at 7 p.m. Food and beverages from local vendors will be available. Please no glass containers or pets allowed in the park during concerts. Admission is free and suitable for all ages! Plenty of parking!</description>

<title>Big Sky Arts Council Free Music in the Mountains Concert featuring The Elders</title>
<link>http://www.bigskytowncenter.com/big-sky-montana-events/1399/big-sky-arts-council-free-music-in-the-mountains-concert-featuring-the-elders.html</link>
<description>Take  a group of Kansas City musicians with a passion for Celtic music, an  Irishman with a love of all things American, and you get a  cross-pollination of elements that is high octane and progressive, yet  rooted in tradition. Since forming in 1998, the Elders have brought their musical mix of amped-up roots rock, powerful  vocals, blazing instrumentals and top-notch songwriting to festivals,  pubs and theaters across the United States and Ireland. Through it all  their four studio albums, two live albums and DVD have become sales  staples at festivals and gift shops across the US.The Elders are fronted by charismatic Irishman, Ian Byrne from County  Wicklow, and backed by a group of wicked-fine Kansas City musicians.  Band members include guitarist Steve Phillips (The Rainmakers), bassist  Norm Dahlor (Tommy Shaw Band), violinist Brent Hoad, drummer Tommy  Sutherland, and keyboardist Joe Miquelon (Asleep at the Wheel). These  six gentlemen create original music that transcends the stereotypical  notion of Celtic music and they deliver it with passion and fire. The  songs are mystical, comical, political and cultural, while covering a  wide variety of topics such as poverty, civil war, family bonds,  spirituality, love and friendship. They tell us stories of people,  places and events - some distant, some recent, some real and some  imagined.Park opens at 6 p.m., music starts at 7 p.m. Food and beverages from local vendors will be available. Please no glass containers or pets allowed in the park during concerts. Admission is free and suitable for all ages! Plenty of parking!</description>

<title>Big Sky Arts Council Free Music in the Mountains Concert featuringNicki Bluhm and the Gramblers</title>
<link>http://www.bigskytowncenter.com/big-sky-montana-events/1398/big-sky-arts-council-free-music-in-the-mountains-concert-featuringnicki-bluhm-and-the-gramblers.html</link>
<description>Upon hearing the unique and refreshing sound of Nicki Bluhm , it becomes immediately clear why she is in the midst of a breakout  year. Nicki has filled a void in music with her brand of vintage-tinged  rocking country soul -- music thats like an enchanting friend youve  known for a short while but feels like youve known forever.Nickis story began at a New Years Eve party when she sang an impromptu  blues song that caught the attention of musician/producer Tim Bluhm  (The Mother Hips). With Tims encouragement Nicki began to write songs  and perform in public, and soon was earning fans of her own. They went  on to record Nickis debut album, Tobys Song (2008), which appeared on  Jambases top ten albums of the year. Nicki and Tim were married shortly  after and formed her band with childhood friend and guitar player,  Deren Ney. The band continued to grow with the addition of Steve Adams  on bass (ALO), Dave Mulligan on rhythm guitar and drummer Mike Curry.  Nicki has since shared the stage with Chris Robinson, Susan Tedeschi and  Derek Trucks, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Steve Kimock, Jackie Greene, Pegi  Young, Josh Ritter, and many others.Her sophomore album, Driftwood (2011), shows an impressive expansion  of Nickis natural talent and is well into its second pressing. The  sounds range from the AM magic of Linda Ronstadt to the charming duets  of Johnny and June Cash to smokey Memphis soul. Since Driftwoods  release, Nicki has become the It Girl of the San Francisco music scene  -- performing with her band, The Gramblers; as a duo with her husband  Tim; and as a guest artist with an array of revered peformers. Her  warm, strong voice and striking presence have undeniable appeal,  confirmed by her sensational performances and rousing reception from  music lovers at every show.Park opens at 6 p.m., music starts at 7 p.m. Food and beverages from local vendors will be available. Please no glass containers or pets allowed in the park during concerts. Admission is free and suitable for all ages! Plenty of parking!</description>

<title>Big Sky Arts Council Free Music in the Mountains Concert featuring Black Lillies</title>
<link>http://www.bigskytowncenter.com/big-sky-montana-events/1397/big-sky-arts-council-free-music-in-the-mountains-concert-featuring-black-lillies.html</link>
<description>The Arts Council of Big Sky is pleased to welcome back the Black Lillies to  Town Center Park! In the only rainy Thursday night concert of 2011, the  Black Lillies still captivated the audience with their blistering  Nashville sound. We decided they should come back--without the rain this  time!   With their debut album,Whiskey Angel, the Black Lillies established  themselves, and it didnt take long for them to make their mark on the  national scene. They kicked off their first national tour at the Ryman  Auditorium, the hallowed mother church of country music, and have since  labored through four cross-country treks. Theyve performed on National  Public Radios Mountain Stage and on two episodes of PBSs Jammin at  Hippie Jacks, and theyve conquered numerous festivals - Pickathon, the  Americana Music Association Festival, Four Corners Folk Festival,  Bristol Rhythm and Roots, even Bonnaroo. And in June 2011, the show that  made country music famous - The Grand Ole Opry - invited the band to  make their debut on the historic circle of wood where so many other  legends have performed. The bands second album, 100 Miles of  Wreckage, has spent more than five months on the Americana radio Top 40  charts.   Park opens at 6 p.m., music starts at 7 p.m. Food and beverages from local vendors will be available. Please no glass containers or pets allowed in the park during concerts. Admission is free and suitable for all ages! Plenty of parking!</description>

<title>Big Sky Big Grass Bluegrass Festival at Big Sky Resort</title>
<link>http://www.bigskytowncenter.com/big-sky-montana-events/1368/big-sky-big-grass-bluegrass-festival-at-big-sky-resort.html</link>
<description>Join us for a weekend of skiing by day and live Bluegrass music by night&amp;nbsp;from some of the industrys finest.&amp;nbsp;Featuring:Sam Bush (Missouri Ballroom, Friday 7:00pm-&amp;lsquo;Bluegrass Ball&amp;rsquo; with Traveling McCourys and Emmit-Nershi Band)Grammy  Award winning multi-instrumentalist Sam Bush doesnt seem old enough to  be a musical legend. And hes not. But he is alternately known as the  King of Telluride and the King of Newgrass, Bush has been honored by the  Americana Music Association and the International Bluegrass Music  Association. Its overwhelming and humbling, Bush says of his lifetime  achievement award from the AMA. It goes along with the title cut of my  new album, Circles Around Me, which basically says, how in the hell did  we get this far? In my brain Im still 17, but I look in the mirror and  Im 57.Emmitt&amp;ndash;Nershi Band&amp;nbsp; (Missouri Ballroom Friday 7:00pm  &amp;lsquo;Bluegrass Ball&amp;rsquo; Traveling McCourys and Sam Bush, Whiskey Jack&amp;nbsp;  Saturday 11pm&amp;nbsp; Talus Room Sunday 7pm Emmitt-Nershi and Friends)With  years of collective experience under their belts, Drew Emmitt and Bill  Nershi exemplify the forward-thinking modern bluegrass musician. As  linchpins of two legendary jam-bands -- Drew with Leftover Salmon, Bill  with the String Cheese Incident--both men have done the stadium-filling,  high-profile rock n roll thing to perfection. Along the way, however,  theyve honed their songwriting and playing chops and studied the  bluegrass, rock and jazz masters they admire.The Travelin&amp;rsquo; McCourys (Missouri Ballroom Friday 7:00pm &amp;lsquo;Bluegrass Ball&amp;rsquo;&amp;nbsp; Emmit-Nershi Band and Sam Bush, Talus Room&amp;nbsp; Saturday&amp;nbsp; 7:00pm )They  are on the road&amp;ndash;and online&amp;ndash;entertaining audiences with live shows that  include some of the best musicians and singers from all genres. It&amp;rsquo;s  always different, always exciting, and always great music. No other band  today has the same credentials for playing traditional and progressive  music. As the sons of bluegrass legend Del McCoury, Ronnie McCoury on  mandolin and Rob McCoury on banjo continue their father&amp;rsquo;s work-a  lifelong dedication to the power of bluegrass music to bring joy into  people&amp;rsquo;s lives. And with fiddler Jason Carter and bassist Alan Bartram,  the ensemble is loved and respected by the bluegrass faithful. But the  band is now combining their sound with others to make something fresh  and rejuvenated.Greensky Bluegrass (Whiskey Jack Saturday 4:00pm, Whiskey Jack Sunday 9:00pm)If  youre familiar with bluegrass music, then youre tuned in to some of  what Greensky Bluegrass does. Theyre also known to throw a great party,  rock n roll, and (if the critics are to be believed) they have great  songs. They are unquestionably a team of friends that traverse the  country making music they enjoy. What makes Greensky different than  Bluegrass? Poignant rural ballads about real people? Dobro tone that  Jerry (Douglas or Garcia) would love? Distortion Pedals? Grit and  attitude from a whiskey soaked card game? Indeed, but thats just the  tip of the iceberg.Head For the Hills (Whiskey Jack Friday 11:00pm.&amp;nbsp; Whiskey Jack Saturday 9:30pm.)Rooted  in the tradition of bluegrass, the music of Head for the Hills is a  vibrant mixture of homegrown compositions, traditional harmonies, and an  innovative approach to improvisation. The groups&amp;rsquo; lyrical nature and  songwriting seems to evoke reminiscent feelings of inspiration. In the  live setting, Head for the Hills can venture into the myriad of musical  styles and sonic landscapes that caters to a boundless array of  listeners.Hot Buttered Rum (Whiskey Jack&amp;rsquo;s Sunday 9:30pm.)Hot  Buttered Rum&amp;rsquo;s story is one of evolution. The &amp;ldquo;high altitude bluegrass&amp;rdquo;  era captured on their first studio album, In These Parts, found the  band enjoying success at such diverse stages as the Newport Folk  Festival, Bonnaroo, Grey Fox, High Sierra, Wakarusa, and the Telluride  Bluegrass Festival. Along the way, the group shared the stage with some  of todays most accomplished artists, including Phil Lesh, Bela Fleck,  Ben Harper, and Nickel Creek&amp;rsquo;s Chris Thile. In 2006, acoustic pioneer  Mike Marshall produced Hot Buttered Rum&amp;rsquo;s second studio album,  Well-Oiled Machine, and captured the sound of a hard-touring band  charting its course along the highways and byways of American music.Weekend  festival passes will go on sale 12/15/2011 and are available by calling  406.995.8077.&amp;nbsp; SPECIAL TICKET PRICING THROUGH 12/24 - $30 OFF LIVE  BIG WEEKEND PASS.&amp;nbsp; GET YOURS NOW BY CALLING 406.995.8077!!bigskyresort.com</description>

Build your  own dummy or come watch as we launch dummies off of a huge ski jump to  an explosive landing!ENTRANTS MUST PREREGISTER BY FEB. 9TH:The&amp;nbsp;Fine Print: First, form a team  of like-minded, conniving friends or co-workers. Then build a dummy on  skis or a snowboard. &amp;nbsp;A couple things to remember: there will be  children at the event- keep it reasonably clean, and it should resemble  an organic life form. The dummies need to be delivered to the Summit  Hotel Clock Tower by noon o&amp;rsquo;clock on February 11th. The  dummies will be on display until 1 pm, when we start hauling them up the  hill. The launching will start around 2:30. We will be launching  dummies off a kicker on Ambush again, to the viewing delight of judges  and guests.Rules:&amp;nbsp; Leave No Trace-&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Only weight  your dummy with things that can be packed back out of here. Remember we  have to clean this up and nobody wants to ride through gravel or dirt.  So&amp;nbsp;dont use&amp;nbsp;concrete or sand -&amp;nbsp;try water or get creative instead.&amp;nbsp;  Please limit buckets of paints and other materials that can stain the  snow and make it melt faster.Hints from year&amp;rsquo;s past:Balance, balance, balance (2 skis, not one)The heavier the better, while still being manageable by a couple of peopleThe crowd likes a themeIt can SELF-destruct; it doesn&amp;rsquo;t need your help (i.e. No pyrotechnics)No  Paint, or anything that will stain the snow, please, we still have a  lot of season left and we don&amp;rsquo;t need brown or red snow for the rest of  it.Judging Categories:AmplitudeCreativityStructureDestruction on ImpactNon-organic life form category (in case you can&amp;rsquo;t make it human)Awards for these categories will be given out at  Whiskey&amp;nbsp;Jacks &amp;nbsp;after a short period of deliberation after the last  dummy flies.bigskyresort.com</description>

<description>Author Kim Kircher will be signing copies of her new memoir The Next  Fifteen Minutes (Behler, 2011), which&amp;nbsp;takes readers on a wild ride of  salvation, finding answers to a scary diagnosis on the ski slopes.&amp;nbsp; Stop  by the Summit Hotel Upper Lobby from 3:30-5pm for hot chocolate and  chatting with the author herself.http://kimkircher.com/the-next-fifteen-minutes/&amp;nbsp;Author Bio - Kim Kircher:Ski patroller, author, traveller, Kim Kircher is still learning how  to get through life in small increments. Sometimes just fifteen minutes  at a time. She has logged over six hundred hours of explosives control,  earning not only her avalanche blaster&amp;rsquo;s card, but also a heli-blaster  endorsement, allowing her to fly over the slopes in a helicopter and  drop bombs from the open cockpit, while uttering the fabulously  thrilling words &amp;ldquo;bombs away&amp;rdquo; into the mic.&amp;nbsp; An EMT, she has received  both a National Ski Patrol Purple Merit Star for saving a life as well  as a Green Merit Star for saving a life in arduous conditions.&amp;nbsp; Before  working in the ski industry, she received her BA and teaching  certificate from the University of Washington, and taught high school  English for five years.&amp;nbsp; Her articles have appeared in Women&amp;rsquo;s  Adventure, Couloir Magazine and Off-Piste Magazine, among others.&amp;nbsp; She  is a current member of the Pacific Northwest Writer&amp;rsquo;s Association and  the North American Ski Journalists Association. &amp;nbsp;Kim also writes about  her job at Crystal Mountain Ski Area at www.blogcrystal.com.&amp;nbsp;  Kim starred in a reality show about ski patrollers on the cable channel  TRU-TV.&amp;nbsp; Her husband&amp;rsquo;s family owns and operates ten ski areas in the  United States and Canada, including Crystal Mountain, where she has  worked for twenty-one years.Passion for the outdoors runs in her family; her great grandfather  once held the astonishing title of world champion log roller, a moniker  he earned through his years travelling with the circus.&amp;nbsp; Her parents  have been ski instructors for forty years, and at an early age,  instilled in her the &amp;ldquo;powder bug&amp;rdquo; that shaped her life.&amp;nbsp; Her greatest  pleasure is standing on top of the King, the highest peak at Crystal  Mountain, and looking down on 1,400 vertical feet of powder snow.&amp;nbsp;  Currently, she is at work on a novel.</description>

After every Strive Roots show, amazed fans find themselves attempting to pin down their experience with words, but have only been able to come up with one core phrase to explain Strive Roots, &amp;ldquo;Roots Infused Power Groove&amp;rdquo;. What is Roots Infused Power Groove? It&amp;rsquo;s the funky beat swirling in your hips, it&amp;rsquo;s the message of awareness and change demanding to be heard, it&amp;rsquo;s original soul with modern beats, it&amp;rsquo;s your new favorite genre of music.Powered by a mission to save the planet, Strive Roots&amp;rsquo; conscious music melds the genres of reggae, hard rock, funk, and hip hop.&amp;nbsp; Live shows are the platform for the band&amp;rsquo;s immense talent, creativity, and bold flavor.&amp;nbsp; Music lovers looking for inspiration, enlightenment, awareness, or just a reason to dance can find it all within the realms of Strive Roots.Strive Roots has headlined venues including the Derby, the Viper Room, Valle Nevado ski resort in Chili, South America and the South Park Music Tour in Colorado.&amp;nbsp; Strive Roots has shared the stage with some of the musical world&amp;rsquo;s best including The Dooby Brothers, Buck&amp;rsquo;O&amp;rsquo;nine, De La Soul, Particle, Michael Franti and Spearhead, North Mississippi All Stars, Delta Nove, Thicker than Thieves, and The John Popper Project.Strive Roots is literally on the tip of the world&amp;rsquo;s tongue after experiencing a plethora of publicity plugs around the globe. Thanks to their choice as snowboarder Hannah Teter&amp;rsquo;s Olympic gold medal soundtrack, Strive Roots has been mentioned on Good Morning America, The Dave Letterman Show, Jay Leno and The Jimmy Kimmel Show. Their track &amp;ldquo;Communicate&amp;rdquo; was launched into prime time after it gave Teter the motivation she needed to grab gold in the half-pipe competition of the 2006 Torino Olympic Winter Games.Strive Roots&amp;rsquo; newest album, The Harmonic Convergence, is in the works!&amp;nbsp; Strive Roots takes pride in having self-produced their music through their own record label, Fourth Dimension Studios. For the Harmonic Convergence, Strive Roots has teamed up with multi-platinum producer Alan Sanderson (System of a Down, Johnny Cash, The Rolling Stones, B.B. King and many others). The Harmonic Convergence exhibits the strides Strive Roots has taken to incorporate conscious action, diversity, and creativity into their music. What started as a raw example of artistic emotion and vigor has erupted into a professional, polished musical work of art. Preview and purchase Strive Roots tracks and full-length albums on Itunes, Myspace, and Striveroots.com.</description>

<description>Sundays from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. At the Studio in the Ozzsage/Lone Peak Physical Therapy building.&amp;nbsp; Contemplative Prayer is a form of meditation that allows an individual to make space to meet the Divine Presence within. Over time, the peace it brings extends to all parts of our life. During the practice period, you will receive instruction on the method; hear a brief thoughtful reading; do the practice; then debrief as a group. The practice includes a 10- to 20-minute sitting, a few minutes of meditative walking to loosen the body, and a second 10- to 20-minute sitting. &amp;nbsp;This Contemplative Prayer practice is conducted within a Christian context, but followers of any path - or no path - are welcome. Feel free to just show up, but please bring a small pillow to sit on. For further questions, contact Katie Alvin at 406-581-3470 or&amp;nbsp;katiealvin@gmail.com.</description>

<description>Right in the heart of the Big Sky region lies the Big Sky Town Center, a remarkable master-planned commercial and residential development that has been designed to provide a sense of place for the area&amp;rsquo;s residents and visitors. The Town Center is a centrally-located, pedestrian-oriented village core that will serve as the hub of activity for the many year-round recreation opportunities that Big Sky has to offer. The businesses and residences being built in the Town Center are part of the &amp;ldquo;downtown&amp;rdquo; fabric of Big Sky. Let us share our vision for the future &amp;ndash; you may find yourself wanting to be part of this incredible area and this incredible endeavor.The Town Center is a 165-acre, mixed-use project located at the intersection of all key development in Big Sky -- Ousel Falls Road and Lone Mountain Trail (Big Sky Spur Rd.). Approximately 50 acres is zoned for commercial uses, and 115 acres is zoned for homes and condos. The project has been approved for approximately 500 residences, including 120 condos above the commercial district. An estimated 375,000 square feet of commercial space has been approved, including 36,000 square feet for civic uses such as a performing arts center, emergency medical facilities, community center, and more. Finally, about 150 lodging rooms will be available in the Town Center. With about 25% open space, trails, and parkland, the Town Center&amp;rsquo;s development philosophy is sensitive and responsive to the outstanding natural values of the region. Reaching outward from town into the surrounding mountains, access to Ousel Falls Trail will invite exploration and will provide additional marketability for the residents and businesses of Town Center. The goal of creating a walkable community with sidewalks, tree-lined boulevards, trails, and services near the residences has been the defining feature of the plan from the beginning.In the early 1970&amp;rsquo;s after Chet Huntley announced that his plans for Big Sky included a Meadow Village and a Mountain Village, Bob Simkins and Jim Taylor bought the Sappington Ranch, which contains a part of the Town Center project. Master Developer Simkins Holdings, LLC has been actively working on securing the development rights for the project since the late 1990&amp;rsquo;s, and the first infrastructure projects were completed in 2001. The momentum for the project has continued to increase over the past few years, and now that the project is about 18% built out, it&amp;rsquo;s beginning to take on a life of its own, as many residents find it a very desirable place to live, and business owners find it a profitable place to open up shop.The heart of the plan is Town Center Avenue (&amp;ldquo;Main Street,&amp;rdquo; if you will) where most of the commercial lots are located. In the middle of Town Center Avenue is a Town Plaza that will likely feature an ice skating rink during the winter, and plenty of room for small festivals and performances in the summer months. The Plaza and Town Center Avenue will be the hub of activity currently absent in Big Sky and will be the destination attraction that draws visitors from around the country. The first projects along Town Center Avenue are in the design and permitting process and should start construction soon. Simkins Holdings, LLC has taken great care to ensure that the individual project developers in the Town Center will be able to move forward with their building projects in a relatively short time frame by having secured the necessary zoning and entitlement approvals in advance. The commercial core of Big Sky is as close as a few blocks away, accessible by sidewalks from the many residential units being offered. Restaurants, shopping, cafes, a movie theatre, grocery stores, and many other services are either available now or planned for the near future, and the Town Center amenity package will continue to expand every year. Town Center is probably the most desirable place to live because the lower elevation of the meadow receives about 60% less snowfall. The milder climate means Spring comes earlier, Fall stays later, and the Summer lasts longer than on properties on the Mountain. All of this creates more opportunities for year-round recreation right from your doorstep in Big Sky. Beautiful trails, fly-fishing, hiking, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, and, of course, the world famous winter experience, are only a few of the Big Sky opportunities immediately available in the Town Center!We invite you to learn more about the Big Sky Town Center at www.bigskytowncenter.com, or by phone at 406-586-9629.</description>

<description>The core village of Big Sky is coming! Big Sky will improve on its rankings and comparisons with other similar resort areas when a dense downtown village with ample shopping and dining opportunities is finally constructed. So many other western resorts evolved after the mining boom had already built a downtown core, but Big Sky is different. Because Big Sky didn&amp;rsquo;t grow from the early mining boom/bust cycles, we now have the opportunity to build a town from the ground up &amp;ndash; a downtown with a grocery store, coffee shops, a movie theatre, countless boutique shops, a wide variety of restaurants and bars, and of course a bustling nightlife.The businesses in the Town Center have greatly exceeded their expectations after opening their doors in the project. Ken Lancey, co-owner of Grizzly Outfitters, said recently, &amp;ldquo;Moving to the Town Center has brought us significantly more foot traffic. We feel this is definitely the place to be now and even more so in the future.&amp;rdquo; This praise for Town Center is shared by Jackie Robin, co-owner of the Hungry Moose Market and Deli, &amp;ldquo;We love our new location in the Town Center of Big Sky. It&amp;rsquo;s central, convenient for locals and visitors, and simply a great spot for our retail business in this growing community.&amp;rdquo;These businesses and more than 20 others make the Town Center a unique and desirable place to live. With services so close, residents can enjoy their morning walk to &amp;rdquo;The Moose&amp;rdquo; to pick up a paper and a cup of coffee, or have breakfast while working on their computer in the deli. The Town Center is also approved for about 120 residential condos to be located above the shops along Town Center Avenue, the project&amp;rsquo;s &amp;ldquo;Main Street.&amp;rdquo; One of the first projects to propose this type of residential use above the commercial core in the Town Center is the Water Tower Place building offering whole ownership of their limited offering of four residential condos above Town Center Avenue. While this is one of the first projects to offer this type of property in Big Sky, it is very common among other resort towns and traditional downtowns. People are social beings and naturally want to be around other people and close to the services and amenities that give the area a sense of place.The condos in the residential district are located close to the commercial services to encourage walking along the sidewalks and trails. The Town Center has been designed as a very pedestrian-friendly community with tree-lined boulevards, slightly narrower streets to calm traffic, and pedestrian crosswalks. The project has a very &amp;lsquo;human scale&amp;rsquo; to it that is unique to the area. The street/building interface along Town Center Avenue has been designed to function like an &amp;ldquo;outdoor room,&amp;rdquo; with canopies overhead, ample sidewalks with a heated paver surface to enhance the wintertime strolling experience, and trees along the edge of the street to help provide a comfortable and inviting setting for pedestrians.These thoughtful designs for the project have begun to show themselves in the first &amp;rdquo;neighborhood commercial&amp;rdquo; phase around Lone Peak Drive, but will be more fully appreciated in the next &amp;rdquo;commercial core&amp;rdquo; phase along Town Center Avenue. We encourage you to take a look at the Town Center for the value of the residential properties compared to similar mountain properties. Experienced buyers and investors recognize the value that the Town Center offers, and we invite you to learn more at www.bigskytowncenter.com.</description>
