Welcome to our blog!
If you're here, you're either just a lucky wanderer of the web, or you've come here by invitation.
If you're a lucky wanderer, then we're glad you're here!
If you were invited, then we're glad you're here! In addition to our excitement about you joining us, you were invited based on some interest you've expressed in either Bear Dance or Bigfork. We're starting this blog because, as we mentioned above, we love Bigfork. We love living here. We think we're in the greatest place this side of heaven. We think our little project (Bear Dance) is perfectly located in this wonderful little town. And we want to share that excitement. We want to share the daily occurrences with others.
Maybe you love Bigfork as well. If you don't, we have a feeling you will soon. Keep checking back with us, and enjoy!
This blog is updated and maintained by the folks at Bear Dance. Sometimes we'll post something that gives an update of what's going on at Bear Dance. Sometimes we'll just update what's going on around Bigfork. Depends on, well....what's going on.

NOTE: You'll notice the snow levels dropping -- normal for this time of year -- but they're actually dropping at a much slower rate than normal. This is due to cooler temps each night, which allows the snow to either re-freeze or solidify, thus slowing down the melting process. Many of the locals have commented on how late in the season the snow seems to be staying on the mountains, and this bodes well for preventing a fire season this summer. We'll still be dependent on a few well-timed rain showers as summer progresses, but we're off to a pretty good start!

This guy was a recent visitor to Bear Dance, sitting on the ice by the water. He and his buddies (five of them in all) were fighting over a scrap of fish trapped in the ice. See more pictures below.
ABOUT BEAR DANCE

- Bigfork, Montana, United States
- Bear Dance brings a new standard and new opportunity in waterfront living. In a virtually untouched area of the United States, Flathead Lake is slowly being discovered as one of the great destinations in the Rocky Mountain West. Bear Dance claims one of the premier locations on Flathead Lake, protected in the cove of Bigfork Bay and sitting a short walk from the artful village of Bigfork. Check us out at beardancebigfork.com
