Hey fellow Outsporters!
This was just posted in another forum and I thought it sounded great. I think it would be a hoot if any interested people wanted to get togeather and have a fun weekend of skiing and hanging out in Montana this sounds like a nice cheap way to do it. You can take Amtrak across Montana on the Highline from the midwest, or fly it if you wanted to. If we get enough interest I would definately be intersted in heading up there for a couple of days. See the link below. Thanks Twin!

msu I would love to do that except for one thing, I am currently involved in saving my money for our June vacation this year. Going to go back to N'awlins. Otherwise if I had the extra $ I would love to. Montana is such a beautiful magical place. Let us hope and pray and I am being serious, here that the Congress continues to fund Amtrak! Because I hear if they don't Spokane will lose its main connection called the Empire Builder I believe, which runs between Chicago and Seattle, and goes through here. I can't ski anymore because of an arthritic knee and bad back, but it would be fun to watch others ski.

You're welcome. I'm in Virginia. If I were closer, I could easily be talked into it.
