2012 Montana Conditions, Stoke and Whatev Thread

[Bunion 2020]

I know you don't have a tram pass this year but up top it was waaaay deeper. Never seen snow that deep on Otter Slide, sluff city. Eventually they closed the gullies because it was piling up in there so much. Couple great laps through there though.

The first hour on Andesite was very nice too. Though I'm not sure why they had Snake Pit closed, it was open yesterday.

Snake Pit was open when we got to it, Blue Room gate was closed although the Wardance gate was open. It think its some sort of a test.

I am sure with the wind that it was deep up top. Good you got ya some.

Speaking of the Covid Box, think anyone has actually hiked up the Liberty Boot Pack this year? I feel like I should do it one day just because.

I want to do it too. Talked to a guy today who did it and he made it sound like quite the slog. I guess the bootpack had drifted over so he was breaking trail some.

How much vert is the hike?

How much vert is the hike?

Looks like 1,200 feet? From 9,800 at the top of Dakota lift to about 11,000 if you stop at the Yeti traverse.

Fuck. I was talking with a random guy this afternoon about this very danger. Got stuffed into mega deep pockets on the ridge a few times last week. Riding has been all time.

The tape up in the morning on the Blue Room entrance and out of towners doing their Ambush laps kept the Andesite trees fresh all day.

Sad news from BB though. KBZK has a few details:https://www.kbzk.com/news/local-news...ty-at-ski-area

God I hate to hear that. RIP and condolences to the skier's family and friends.

Fuck. We are in a bad cycle here. Condolences to family. Hoping that the staff that participated in getting her down look after themselves too.

[Eluder]
