Slushmans yesterday was amazing, first run was one to remember for sure. Anyone else at the lower gate of slushmans when that guy got run over by a couple people. Patrol quoted "he blew out his hamstring". Sure was a shitshow when the opened the gate.
Except that during this past cycle, they HAVE been runnin slushies, yesterday and today. I couldn't believe my eyes when I got off PK yesterday and the sign said OPEN, its all due to our patrol bustin their ass for us. So thanks BB Patrol for the waist-deep turns :yourock:Quote:

Pretty sweet double-pole-plantage in the daily vid today...
also some pretty sweet suspender straps around the butt-age...last weekend I saw some kid's straps hook on the chair, stretch waaaay out and then snap him wicked hard when they let go. Straps go on your shoulders...not hanging loose.
2.6 above looks like fun
despite the dubsteeze- vidguy's livin a very truly dedicated skibum life, the purity of which many on here type about aspiring to, style points aside... ...
2 from sundayshitshow-
-saw skis fly off car & get run over at jackson creek- I narrowly missed- and never saw a car turn around-they never knew...
-rode up w/a guy who had previously ridden the bridger lift w/a d00d who had collapsable skipoles stickin outta his pack, said when he turned to look at the chair and sit he took the sharp end of the other guy's skipole up his freakin nostril- then had to ride up w/him & try to control the bleeding-whoa...I gave him some ibuprofen but lookt like the pain was setting in and his day was likely about over...
Ugh. I was so bummed to leave town Monday morning. A long scheduled trip to visit the in-laws turned into a pow-tacular ripping weekend. I had so much goddamned fun Sat and Sunday. First civilians to drop in Z Fan on Sunday..pretty much blew my mind. Followed that up with a Hidden...goddamn. I have little motivation to noodle around the flat shit in Colorado now. We were a bit late to Schlasmans, but the diagonal zone was still so fun. That is a great addition.
Its always good to spook yourself now and then, and BB delivers...especially when following locs around the mtn without a clue to whats below the next roll. So much fun.
You all should be stoked. Bridger is an amazing hill.
I guess the only thing left to say is one big FKNA! One of these days I'm gonna hafta come up to the Grizz and pound some Steep and Deep with ya fellas.
Pretty shameful, I sometimes wonder how they choose who to put in the daily, especially on a snow day, though I suppose there are plenty of rippers represented now and again.Quote:

on the note of wacky shit, did anyone else see the snowboarder with slippers strapped onto his backpack? or the tele skier wearing giant fur mittens and a kilt? both were on saturday, i think.Quote:

Well said.Quote:

Probably because he misses very few days, is a great asset to BB, and puts the bootpack in on many pow days. Can't think of better reasons to be in the daily ... who gives a shit if his form is not PSIA certified?Quote:

I like how the daily vid shows everybody from rippers to tourists to kids....kinda represents the whole. Obviously it would be way sweeter if it just showed me everday, but I guess everything has room for improvement:)
Here is a sweet link to Doug Coombs double pole planting some serious shit....

What a bitch:)
Anybody wanna claim that? Looked sick.Quote:
Nice 3 over a roller.
And anybody wanna claim that beastly air in Peter's? We traversed over from NW and saw two giant bomb holes in the middle of nowhere, took about thirty seconds to locate the tracks off a cliff high above. Props to whoever sent and landed that
holy crap! thanks for thatQuote:

That video was fantastic! It made my night for sure. Thanks. Maybe the guy in the daily was just practicing up for the Grand?
I was riding up pierre's lift around 10 am on Tuesday and witnessed someone absolutely mob down dry martini lookers left of 6th grade and toss a 40ft + front flip off of the big cliff at the bottom, riding away pretty damn clean. Hands down the most rediculous line I have seen in 10 years of riding bridger, anyone claiming it? Head cam footage has to be unreal.
thought 4sure shreddy was gonna post pix of one of those, shaniac's a huckster...
3rd'd or 4th'd on the coombs vid above-well done capture of a sketchy descent...used to ski w/filmguy arden here back in the day

Awesome! I think that may be the single sickest thing you can do at Bridger Bowl, wish I was there to see it. Just skiing down dry martini is one of my favorite lines ever there and I don't send no 40 foot frontie off the bottom. In my dreams maybe, but not with this old carcass.Quote:

This desrves a pic for reference. Look how small the skier is down there at the bottom. That line is sick and that cliff is huge. Sorry, I get excieted when I hear about the gnar being slayed with such authority.

Wish I would have seen it, sounds like they really slayed it. Maybe Pnut can get that one on helmet cam for me.

Sorry, I bucked the trend and didn't take my camera up for the bluebird day. But I did win the battle at Slushman's. That may have been me tearing up the rope line in pursuit of every single ride. I think I even got the asshole callout from the back of the line more then once. This season has many more days and with good fortune we will document more lines.
Flow, I'm not sincerely picking on anybody, just being facetious, and then thinking out loud. I really don't care how the next guy skis, so long as he's having fun!Quote:
