The 2026 Winter Olympics had it all: triumph, heartache, filthy cheating Canadian curlers, and a delightful clean-cut 23 year old freestyle skier from Helena, Montana named Konnor Ralph.

Konnor joins Outlaw Beat to talk about his experiences in Milan where he did us proud by finishing 5th in Big Air and 9th in Slopestyle. He answers all your burning questions about the Olympic Village, getting mentally prepared to leap hundreds of feet in the air, and making the transition from terrain park rat at Great Divide to the largest stage in winter sports.

We’re talking about building Big Sky on this episode with help from a couple of locals who are doing the heavy lifting… JoDean Bing of Blue Ribbon Builders and Becky Brockie of Big Sky Community Housing Trust. Blue Ribbon Builders has been building well-known Big Sky infrastructure and homes since day one in the early 1970’s and the Housing Trust is doing important work to accommodate an increasingly large and precariously housed workforce.

We cover a lot of ground in this interview: Chet Huntley, geothermal activity, the “Good Deeds” and “Rent Local” programs, the first fax machine in Big Sky. And it’s part of a series brought to you by the Big Sky Chamber of Commerce, in case you’re wondering who to thank.

To oversimplify, powwows are big, colorful Native dance competitions. And if you’ve never been to one, have we got a doozy for you…

Montana State University’s 50th annual powwow is coming up March 27th & 28th at the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse, and who better to preview the massive milestone event than the co-presidents of the student-led organization responsible for putting it together, the American Indian Council.

Titan Brockie and Michaiah Pease join us to chat about traditions old and new that they oversee while also providing a beginner’s guide to powwows, in case this is your first year to attend. And you should attend! All are welcome and free to enter.
