Notable Quotes:
"The greatest thing about Big Sky is that it's hard to get here... we barely have a million people in the entire state of Montana."
"Walkability is the new ski in, ski out. I just had some clients here last week who came out with their four kids, and they said, we've been here for a week and we haven't gotten in our car."
"Come here in the summer first, and you'll fall in love with it and you'll understand how the town works... and then come back to ski and you'll feel so much more confident."
