RED LODGE — When the market for vacation homes cratered in 2008, Red Lodge developer Bill Kiely didn’t cuss his bad luck and walked away from a development that had a difficult history.

BIG SKY, Mont. — Big Sky Resort is celebrating this week after being highlighted in numerous national ski publications, including an image of Lone Peak appearing on the cover of Ski magazine.

Ski magazine, a Bonnier publication with a national circulation of 450,000, released its fall special issue resort guide with a photo of “perfect corduroy” beneath Big Sky’s “rugged” Lone Peak.  The photo was taken during the 2009/2010 ski season by Public Relations Manager Chad Jones.

“Big Sky’s Lone Peak really stands out from other ski resort landscapes,” says Jones.  “It’s the towering, singular mountain that really makes Big Sky who we are.  I’m always looking for a way to get that iconic image out there, and was thrilled when Ski’s editors decided to…
