WOOT WOOT! Nukin' in Missoula

Bwah ha ha - The beavertail mafia. I saw a woman in the lodge on Sunday with a beavertail down to her ski boots. WTF? It wasn't even snowing so I just had to crack up.

I am not angry, I just get tired of hearing everyone complain, it's not the bowls fault the snow is poor this year. You could be standing in a ridiculous long line at a Colorado resort or taking 6 or 7 turns on some decent terrain and then back out on some groomers in Wyoming or on the high traverse behind 300 people in Utah. I mean, in alot of ways we are pretty fortunate 2600 vertical with the option to not ski a groomed run or see more than a couple people on the same run is pretty amazing in and of itself, even with crappy snow. Count yer blessings or pay a $100 to stand in a lift line somewhere else.

How can I climb Point Six without riding the lifts at MSB? Park below the resort and skin up the east ridge to the top of Lavelle and beyond? Can I skin the ridge and stay out of the resort boundary?

Lot 2- or try to get Ronnie to sell you a single ride ticket,has to be a mellow day,with a waxing moon. That is blue.

Get up there at 7am and skin up Second Thought. I sincerely doubt anyone will care...they might even take pity on you and give you a ride.

or throw the liftie a nug... been know to work. make sure that nobody who seems like they would care is at the lift.

how was it at the bowl today, and don't give me any cryptic answers. i wouldn't hold out on you. please and thanks.

It was boot deep where it hadn't been skiied and still bullet proof if you scrape it to the bottom. If it keeps up tonight like it did in the afternoon there may be a couple fresh inches in the morning.

Sorry, but if you can't get your ass up the mountain except for when it's "good", I can't see that you've earned non-cryptic reports, same goes for all of the other fair-weather powder pouncers.

That said, I'd say there were "improved variable" conditions today. :wink:

^^^that's not it at all. i was wondering if it was going to be an early rise, first chair type of day. also, i'd love to ride a pair of skis other than my prophet 100s.

i have to make an appearance at work every day, as i only have one employee.

who's going up today?

Heh, just giving you shit, your "skinny" 100s should be more than enough. Bob nailed it, there's some modest accumulations in places, but nothing to crow about, and it's scraped in all the usual places

The bowl is on the mend. Not healed, maybe healing, but with the sun and the lousy forecast, it seems a return to misery is inevitable. Lots of nice lines in the trees.

Woot woot! It should be a brand new mountain tomorrow. :wink:

Sheep Mountain Saturday.

Not bad, but a very long day. Parked at Gold Creek and skinned up the west face.

Bowl 4.

Bowl 2.

six is the new sixteen!

2nd bowl looks a little thin!

Crap. I said west face. I meant east face. Since the west face is about 20 miles from Gold Creek, that makes more sense.

oh sure it's snowing, but the road is more hazardous than ever and I do believe we've lost base depth since last friday

Bitching, is the new stoke! Cloud Cult i enjoy your pics, Check wnw - ridge of Sheep next time. You might like Finnley creek via the bowl.

True to form, just when the skiing starts to improve, the forecast calls for the dreaded orb in the sky to return. At least there were some sweet turns to be had today.

Never enough grey in my day! "who loves the sun, ba bab ba, not every one"

heard the sun was shining up at the bowl today... was not the case at the G spot today. Although slightly interesting it was pretty damn good which was surprising to me seeing as how theres like nothing as far as snow goes where you park. on the descent the snow went from awesome > crusty > good again

Well, at least the Last Run Inn is still killin' it.

Ski cut an 8 inch slab, 30 feet wide and about the same long on a terrain feature 38 degrees steep.

Sheep Mountain Sunday.

Nice boottop snow on trees in the north faces, miserable crusts elsewhere.

haha, truth. i havnt been up there since friday, but friday was real nice. boot deep in the unskied areas and the trees were very nice friday. Went to lolo on saturday and while there was a decent amount of new snow it was pretty heavy. I took this girl snowshoeing up there today and the snow was insanely heavy/ wet

Mt. Dumpy delivers!
