Skyline: Link to the Peak
July 2016
IN THIS ISSUE Page 2
Arts Council of Big Sky
Big Sky, Montana knows what it means to be a mountain town. Spread from the base of Lone Peak to the Gallatin River that winds below, the town’s vistas summon outdoor enthusiasts from near and far. They come in winter for sparkling peaks ensconced in snow or in summer for lush, green hills. Some come for a visit, forever hoping to return. Others stay, choosing to call this very special place home. Over the years, hundreds of thousands of people have found their way around Big Sky by bus, using what is now known as Skyline. Initially the SnowExpress more than 20 years ago, the fare-free service provides mountain access for those who come to play or stay in Big Sky. “For the longest time, getting to and around the community of Big Sky required a car,” says Skyline Coordinator David Kack. “The bus changed all that.” In 1991, the Big Sky Transportation District and its SnowExpress were created to serve the growing and thriving mountain community. The SnowExpress operated two to four routes within Big Sky during peak season – mid-December through mid-April. It was Big Sky’s first public service, according to Kack. Each year, the SnowExpress’ ridership grew. In the winter of 2005-06, SnowExpress gave nearly 50,000 rides. That season would be the last for SnowExpress, but certainly not for the transportation district or the bus service.
In December 2006, the service expanded, with Skyline buses maintaining service within the town and a new Link Express route connecting Big Sky with nearby Bozeman, a Montana-sized city some 40 miles away. In that first winter, Skyline provided 93,337 rides in Big Sky, and 15,284 rides between Big Sky and Bozeman. Skyline provides a needed transportation link to the peak, allowing riders to relax and enjoy the view on their journey. There is no need for driving the challenging winter roads, adding to the congestion or finding parking.

Since its inception in 2006, Skyline has provided over 1.1 million rides within Big Sky and between Bozeman and Big Sky. If you count the years the bus provided rides as the SnowExpress, the number is much higher. Today, the Big Sky Transportation District is governed by a board of directors chosen by the commissions of both Gallatin and Madison counties – the Big Sky area straddles the border of the two. The district operates on roughly $1.2 million each year, with just over half of the budget provided by Federal Transit Administration funds that are managed by the Montana Department of Transportation. Other contributing groups include the Big Sky Resort Tax Board, Big Sky Resort, Madison (Continued on page 2)

MTFWP It’s summer; time for many folks to head to the mountains for vacation. That’s fine, just remember Montana’s mountains are home to black and grizzly bears. This time of year, bears are looking for any and all food sources as they wait for chokecherries, currants, buffalo berries and other natural foods to ripen. In search of food, bears can be drawn to populated areas or mountain cabins by unsecured garbage cans, the smell of pet food, bird feeders and dirty barbecue grills. Bears that encounter human supplied food sources often have a hard time returning to natural food. A conditioned bear will travel miles to get to a garbage can.
The following small precautions can go a surprisingly long way to deter bears from visiting one's backyard or campsite: • • • •
keep pet food inside a building or vehicle, clean dirty barbeque grills, take down bird feeders until the winter, make sure the compost pile is not laden with food scraps, • keep garbage in bear-resistant garbage cans or in a secure building until trash collection. To learn more about bear proofing backyards and neighborhoods, and what systems, such as bearresistant garbage cans or electric fence kits, may be needed to keep attractants off-limits, visit or call the nearest regional FWP office. Or go to the FWP website’s Be Bear Aware page at fwp.mt.gov.

Restrict camping activities to designated camping areas and build campfires only in established, metal fire rings where permitted. Drive only on established roads.
