Stepping Up - A Guide to The Ridge at Bridger Bowl
The time has finally come. I can now officially announce the project that has been under wraps for years. MT and I are publishing a book entitled: Stepping Up – A Guide to The Ridge at Bridger Bowl
Here are some of the highlights:
- 100 page account of the lines off The Ridge
- Foreword by Scot Schmidt
- Closing by Dr. Robb Gaffney
- Interview with Tom Jungst
- 75 photos, including aerial shot of with marked up possible descents. As well as shots of Jim Conway, Tom Jungst, Scot Schmidt and many others.
The book could not have been possible without the help of many. Quite a few maggots have chipped in big time, I feel very lucky to have their help, it would not have been possible without them. To name a few: fez – building our website as speak, MountainMan – encouraging us all the way, basewelder – providing endless knowledge about The Ridge, slip – supplying photos and connections in the industry, oldtimer – kicking us in the ass to get this out there & providing more industry contacts, splat - helping us out with photo/skier legal issues and possibly helping us market this on pmgearusa.com. The list goes on.
I cannot begin to tell you how stoked I am on how the ski community comes together. Everyone who we talked to was very supportive and willing to help wherever they could. And we needed all the help we could get. Scot Schmidt and Robb Gaffney were unbelieveable. I would have never thought that lowly maggots like ourselves could get buyin from the pros. Neither of us have ever done this sort of thing. It turned out to be a huge learning experience.
I hope you all will find the book interesting. Pick up a copy when it comes out!
