you get 4ths and 5ths, and you still expect to get linkable turns down it. :nonono2:

cmon, i saw you take 10 minutes to side slip the thing anyways, why didn't you straight line it from the upper choke?

just my .02

this looks like a shitshow where someone lost their ski.:eek:

guarno thanks for kicking the booter. if you would continue to do that in the future and then wait for 4th tracks down a one skier line, it would be appreciated! I had one of my best d route runs ever that morning...

ps

nice to see folks practicing good avy protocol on the hollywood face.

lookers right, that funnel there, is what rips out on nel bosoff in the "montana winter" flick, he goes for a ride in the powder cloud to the tune of what looked like a thousand verts- came away with a non-paralytic(sp) broken back and a life flight (maybe that weighed in his decision to go run a kayak lodge in costa rica- bet someone from here knows him from there...)
just got that flick put on a DVD(thanks again indy), have to figure out hoe to snip the clip and post it here- its chilling...
way to shralp the gnar in the fraze!

& congrats to the new rijhikrs- hope you warned 'em that shit's habit-forming

Tis a small world. I was just down in CR last month and stayed at Rafiki, the Boshoff's lodge. Awesome place!! :the_finge

I was actually talking with his brother Lautjie about the slide since he was there at the time as well. Lautjie has been the head guy down there for a couple years, Nel is evidently living in Panama shooting HD from a helicopter. Didn't know he married Ms. Wyoming, good score.

BURNNNNNNNNN:fm::fm::fm::fm::fm:

Stellar.

I was lucky enough to hit the great snow on my trip up there last week. 1 day at Bridger was better than my 3 days at Big Sky/Moonlight.

Saturday was a sleepy day on the ridge-first tracks down Z chute at noon. Much better conditions than we expected. Everyone must have been at the pinhead classic.

Today we went to test out the new (old) sled. My son BBRidgekid likes this one a whole lot better than the little 470. Getting ready for some spring skiing when the lifts stop spinning in 2 weeks.

whoah...you scared me there. i count three weeks til April 6th, which is still waaaaayyyyy too soon. :eek:

sweet photos, although south facing was pretty crusty today. it seems to have been better for you yesterday.

I'll try and keep the stoke going here. Some pics of tooling around in the Bridgers this past week - 1 day w/ my dog and the other w/ a couple of friends.

There are mountains up there?

a nice twisty turny bridger range slot coulior - it sluffed pretty good while I was skiing it so I pulled out at the narrows and let it go by. fortunately the dog likes riding the sluff, he was pumped when he caught up.

A great couple of days of skiing. Found good powder on a firm base and skied everything from big open bowls to tree shots.

Is that the kicker off the Bradley's booter? Nice work on the flips!

there are 2 right next to each other, one was already built, we built the other. They are both right in the first little opening you come to right when you hike out north boundary gate. You can see them from the north meadows road. both can be sent 20-30 feet and have generally soft landings

Headed out South today to do a route we've been eyeing up for some time. Found great snow and a really fun line.

In the first picture, our descent from the top followed the gully looker's left of center, just skier's right of where the timber thins out in the middle of the picture. Then we traversed above the big cliff to get into the off-angle chute that runs through the big rock wall at the bottom. Great snow the whole way.

MT is the skier in the action shots.

Nice line! Way to knock it down...

Got some good stoke going on this page :)

BDRH that last shot is fuckin $$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!
Nice Work you two!!!!

Great pics from the last several days! I never get tired of pics from the Bridgers, post as many as you like. :)

Nice MT! I like that last picture best.

Had another solid day up there today. Got in a few ridge laps before we headed out north to farm some more powder.

The first several shots are of my buddy Rad Riley. This is his third season of skiing. He's gettin down the hill ok these days.

The last pic is me off a booter we found out in the woods near the north gate. The shot is a bit early, as I've just tucked my head to begin the rotation, but I like the snow trail following me off the lip.

Another killer day at the BB.

BWAHHH, thats not a flip BDRH, thats you about to eat shit i know it!!!!!!!!!!!!!:p

I did actually manage to make it all the way around to hit feet first...
followed by and ever so graceful assplant:nonono2: Turns out big people rotate slow. I've yet to iron out all the kinks of getting upside down and returning to right side up. Every now and then it just ends up looking pretty comical. It's fun to work on though. I find the bigger you go the easier it is to time the rotation.

We went up for a go at Saddle today, but a combination of a late start and nasty weather sent us down a little earlier. We ended up skiing that first ridge that runs down the north part of Saddle, and it was really good. In-bounds looked like it got totally gaperized today!

It was pretty rad out there again today! Got to do some fun airs into forgiving snow. The first three shots are of me hucking to flat as usual. Left some gear behind on that first one, but I managed to stick it.

Met this dood at the bottom of the hike that said he wanted to get some air. He tagged along and get some air he did, as you can see in the last pic. Never caught his name, but it was fun to see you huck whoever you were.

These were from Yesterday. Only got the sequence, some days its just tough to take out the camera.

Hey man, thanks for posting those photos. Damn that was a flat landing. Anyways my name is Jeremiah if ya ever want to go take another lap. I didnt catch yours either.

It's Luke.

I think we have a love connection.:biggrin:

2FUNKY,what can I say... BDRH is a sexy dude.

Anyways today was alot of fun, I was skiing with the Dombrowsky boys, and went back to feeling like one of the shittiest skiers out there. I'm sure he wont brag about it, but if you're around hidden in the coming days, check out the unmistakeable tracks down 5th virtue. It blows my mind.

I think the slick purple coat I had on may have made the wrong impression.

How were the crowds up there yesterday? BS was raped busy. Nice turns.

No shit. We're having a great winter. Usually it's all corn all the time this time of year.. at least in Big Sky, anyway. Not feet of fresh snow. More on the way, too.
