Many improvements have been made to the core plaza area since summer 2008 to create a sense of community and enhance the village environment. From children's playground equipment to activities, to a "teaching tipi" in cooperation with the Big Sky Institute, visitors and owners based in the Mountain Village can feel the energy.
