Nikki Sixx, who recently turned 65, says he and his family are loving the outdoors in their new home in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce\u00a0co-founder told People Magazine<\/em>, “We spend a lot of time outside. I mean, the whole point of being here is to really be outside, whether you’re into skiing or fishing or hiking or being up on the lakes or snowmobiling.”<\/p>\n

Sixx and his wife Courtney also both serve on the board of the inaugural Jackson Hole International Film Festival, which was held on his birthday weekend. He told the outlet, “We love the idea of bringing arts and culture to Jackson. We’ve been talking about this for the last year and a half or so, it’s been in motion. There’s a lot of really fantastic people involved.” The festival included guests such as Edie Falco, Ken Jeong and Brendon Walsh.<\/p>\n

He added, “Spending more time getting to know other board members, directors, writers, seeing films, you know, going out and having dinners \u2014 it’s just been a great experience.” Sixx and his family, he and his wife share daughter Ruby, moved to Wyoming in 2020. He told the magazine of their new home, “It just really clears our head and allows us to reset. And it’s very social here, so it’s fantastic for us. I wake up and I’m like, ‘I can’t think of a place I’d rather be.'” Last year, he\u00a0told Fox News Digital\u00a0they had been looking for a summer place where they could go fishing or skiing for five years before they eventually settled on Jackson Hole.<\/p>\n

He said, “We originally started the conversation like, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool to get a little place where we can go during the summer and take the kids fishing?’ Or, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool to go somewhere where we can go skiing together in the winter?’ We just kept talking about it, but it never happened. Then the pandemic hit. Like many people, we were looking around the country. It seemed like everybody was running towards these rural areas, but it’s something that’s been on our minds for a long time.”<\/p>\n
