Big Mountain Downhill

It's kind of odd to ride a chair lift up the mountain in summertime... but it's sure a ton of fun to spend the day hammering downhill - especially when the trail includes the incredible views surrounding Whitefish, Montana!
Deb & Brian rode the first chair up together - and enjoyed the view before the first descent.Whitefish Lake down below. A few minutes after this picture was taken, a little further down the trail, a mama and baby deer leaped across the trail and disappeared into the forest.
Brian caught up to Deb on the last lap of the day. Check out the banked ladder! What a stud!
After the ride we enjoyed an early dinner at our favorite Montana restaurant - The MacKenzie River Pizza Company. The waitress couldn't explain why it's called that, since the MacKenzie River is actually in Oregon...
