Missoula had experienced one of the longest stretches of rainy misery. The damp gloominess that went on for over 2 weeks finally broke on June 15th. Top-notch competitors from around the northwest gathered on a bright, scorching, record breaking, 85-degree day in Missoula for a successful second annual Big Sky Strongest Man Contest. Seasoned competitors from the Pro and Novice divisions came from Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Montana. This was the first strong man contest for some of the Novice competitors who were introduced to first class challenges. All the competitors participated in 6 events comparable to strongman events performed across the nation.
