2012 Montana Conditions, Stoke and Whatev Thread

[Bobcat Sig]

it is. how is this still not understood?

ill throw you a bone. grizzly was above the knees all day, skier compaction program made my day, thanks steve. angsty? not a chance.

i just dont get why there needs to be a thread about it. if i want to "get stoked" or find out "whats goin' off" or whatever, i go skiing. not tgring.

carry on.

Why? Well... Some of us like to share and get beta while we drive our desks. But mainly because Bridger somehow deserves its own thread.

Otherwise? Yah, go skiing. Be happy. Share the stoke.

Indeed. Spent all last weekend at RL. It hadn't snowed since about Wednesday (16"), but the crowds were low enough all weekend that there still remains tons of untouched powder. I had blast. Snow conditions were great, the mountain was 100% open, all lifts were running with no lines, and the stoke levels were high. The place was practically a ghost town on Saturday (Christmas Eve)! There were a few exposed rocks at spots, but that was pretty rare. The pow was deep in a few stashes amongst the trees.

Great, great weekend. Come on over and enjoy it! There's plenty to go around.

I can't believe no one was there, you'd think they'd have had a busy Christmas. Wish I could have gone.

snowbowl skied really well this weekend. most of the mountain was open and things were filling in nicely.

Heading out to BS/MLB in a couple weeks. Hopefully there will be SOMETHING to ski on... Nothing here in MN. 50 degrees yesterday, and more to come. WTF?

[bushman]

Axe, Let me know when your going to be there. If snow comes I will be there as well. I'll buy beer.

[rockcreek]

sounds legit austin, thanks. I have off thurs, fri, sat, and am tryin to think where would be the tastiest of treats. Looks like most of the state is gonna get some snow, but, being as I am a pow addict and thus need to feed my addiction properlike, i seek the deepest snow available. LTPM may be worthy if it stays cold enuff, blacktail looks promising, as does mlb. shit even a trip to the ghee may be in order. if noaa says rock dodge the town has a 30% chance of snow, would it be safe to assume rock dodge the ski area has a 60% chance?? any thoughts re: these matters are certainly appreciated. Most likely I will watch the storms wednesday nite and give'r a game time decision early thursday am. here comes the snowins!!!

Targhee appears to be the preferred choice for the next couple days. You can see on the precip maps all that Pacific moisture getting funneled up the snake river plain.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, bro.

As per the dartboard at NOAA, for most of SW MT:

STRONG WINDS ARE LIKELY OVER MOST OF NORTH CENTRAL AND ALL OF SOUTHWEST MONTANA TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THERE WILL BE SHORT PERIODS OF LIGHTER WINDS TONIGHT BEFORE WIND SPEEDS INCREASE ONCE AGAIN ON THURSDAY MORNING.

SUSTAINED WEST WINDS OF 30 TO 40 MPH...WITH GUSTS UP TO 65 MPH ARE POSSIBLE.

TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS FROM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL RANGE FROM 3 TO 6 INCHES.

[mnskier]

that is much needed assuming those 65 mph gusts dont take off all of it.
