Have you ever visited Montana? These are a few of my FAVORITE things to do during the wintertime when family comes into town.
Recently, my dad and sister flew to Big Sky for a weekend vacation - with only a few days to soak up the views, watch to find out what we did!
What are other things we should do + see while in Montana? Tell us in the comments below! We'd love to hear from you. :)
1.) Fuel up in Big Sky, Montana - We grabbed lunch at the Hungry Moose Market in the main town center of Big Sky.
- This tiny market has super fresh ingredients, tasty baked goods, smoothies, and delicious coffee. You can even grab a few snacks to-go from their deli + grocery store.
- They have two locations in Big Sky which you can learn about here:

2.) Rent Snowshoes - Snowshoeing is a fun way to pass the time during the winter months in Montana.
- Pack a backpack with water, rent a pair of snowshoes, wear sunblock + a hat, and enjoy the great outdoors.
- Our snowshoes were ~$5 per day at East Slope Outdoors in Big Sky, Montana. Visit their website here:
http://www.eastslopeoutdoors.com. - Just remember to check that they work properly before heading out on your wintertime adventure!
- We hiked the Bighorn Pass Trail in between Big Sky and West Yellowstone:

3.) Drive Through Yellowstone - We drove through Gardiner, Montana and entered Yellowstone National Park from the northern entrance. It's a great place to enter the park because you can actually drive through the Roosevelt Arch, see a thermal feature right away (Mammoth Hot Spring), and work your way over to Lamar Valley where animals are known to gather. We spotted bison, elk, deer, and more!

About Me: Last year, I fell in love with skiing and picked up a part-time seasonal job at a Montana Ski Resort for the Winter 2016/2017 season. Prior to moving to Montana, I lived in NYC for five years and worked at a large advertising and marketing agency. Originally from Florida, living near the Rocky Mountains has been an incredible opportunity. Throughout the winter, I'll be documenting my experience working at a ski resort and also as a freelance marketing consultant. Thanks for following along! PS - I learned how to ski a year ago at 28 years old. :)

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟
Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact 🤑
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
