Three days. Big Sky harvest season. James Beard–recognized chefs, perfect wine pairings, live music, and Montana adventure. This is Paws Up’s signature culinary weekend, and it only happens once a year.
Beyond the table, it’s all Big Sky adventure from horseback rides to river days.
Meet your guest chef: Earl James Reynolds. James Beard Award Finalist and Executive Chef of Herb & Omni in Whitefish. A Montana native shaped by kitchens in Seattle, Alaska, Lake Tahoe, and San Francisco, Chef Earl cooks with the seasons. Refined technique, playful creativity, deeply rooted in place.
A touch of Western legacy: National Cowgirl Hall of Fame inductee Shorty Koger brings decades of legendary hatmaking craft to the weekend. Trusted by ranchers, executives, and world-champion equestrians alike.
