We range in temperatures from 37 degrees C in summer down to -50 degrees C occasionally (depends if you are in the city or in the outskirts). During one winter's chinook, we went from -30 C in the morning to +10 C in the afternoon. A forty degree spread in one day! Forget about shorts, we were all running around naked. :-) But if you have never been in Big Sky country, you do not know what you are missing. Simply gorgeous! I was raised in the mountains but my heart and home is in the prairie. One old flat lander, while touring in the Rockies, was asked what she thought of the view. Her reply was she could not see anything with all those mountains in the way!
