Friday, I ascended Big Mountain on chair two at Whitefish Mountain Resort to make pictures of a refurbished Jesus statue overlooking the Flathead Valley. The tricky part was a) I don't ski too well and b) they don't usually allow foot traffic on chair two. After much help from the resort, I was allowed to hop the lift and (short) hike down to the statue. The skiers and resort employees were pretty psyched about the dumping powder. I was hoping for a bluebird day but was just happy to make it up the mountain. The first are a few pictures I took of the state. The next two are from the lift. Because of the lack of foot traffic on chair two, I would imagine the image of Hell Roaring restaurant is a unique angle.
Stay tuned to FlatheadBeacon.com for the release of a historical piece on the Jesus statue or pick up the Feb. 9, 2011, print edition for the full story. (UPDATED: Read the full story here.)
