Anyone else gonna be up and about at Moonlight this weekend for the FWT? I'm shooting and picking up my media credentials tomorrow. Bunion, any beta on the venue you think a photographer might find useful? Dunno how much they're going to give us at checkin/inspection tomorrow.
I think the FWT coming to Moonlight is awesome. Great way to promote the terrain at Moonlight. I will be a spectator on Saturday in the bowl below The Headwaters. My GF and I plan on taking folding chairs up the Six Shooter if the lifty's allow it. Hopefully it will be sunny and we can work on our surfer tans...
or dumping so we can slay the pow...
I'll say hi if I spot you. I'll be somewhere up in the venue most of the day. Headwaters were skiing great today. Some pictures of the registration/inspection day.

How's Big Sky doing right now? Will be there on Sun. Sounds like things are warming up this week.
Nice! I'm planning on being up there, camp chair, beer and all. Should be great weather for a google tan. Bring your sunscreen!
good luck to the competitors. dont think ill be able to hobble my ass up there. might try tomorrow
Yeah this is the second year in a row I have missed the headwaters comp for something stupid.
Didn't even get up the tram once this year...
Anybody know if donkey slot or the upper pockets have been opened yet this year?
FYI for all you comp riding fools, I have a brand new POC spine protector you can come grab in Bozeman for 50 bucks tonight... be safe!
Well, you have'nt missed all of it yet. This weekend is the FWT, next weekend is the 7th Annual Headwaters Spring Runoff. Same venue, just more local. If I remember right, Jamie Pieere was the MC last year.Quote:

Several of them could have used it. Yikes. Great day, great event. 1500 pictures taken...more tomorrow in the Three Forks area.Quote:

Two quick edits from my 1000+ pictures I took today. Working on culling them down and then editing.

Wow, that talus rib looks like it's about to inflict some serious pain. :eek: +++Vibes.
Fortunately he stayed on his line and missed that rib.

Todays venue and event should really be cool.

It was a great event and the crowd was a good bit bigger today than yesterday. And as far as the Bridger/Lone Peak thing goes...the bridger skiers got just as big cheers and applause as the Lone Peak skiers. I never caught any hostile vibes of any sort. Everyone around Moonlight seemed thrilled to have the Tour and all the competitors in town.
I'm going to post a thread over in Ski/Snowboard when I finish all my shots but I thought I'd share a few more. Still Day 1.

Super flat light made pictures difficult all day yesterday. Today was better and the pictures should, hopefully, be better.
Jea! My friend Nat owned that shit today! So stoked for her! Can't think of someone who deserved it more!
Oh and I still have a spot open on a bell lake yurt trip next wknd!
Congrats and cheers to all competitiors, looks like an awesome time. The hometown hill boys representin for sure, super impressed. Great shots there, thanks.
Here are a couple pics taken from the public viewing area with a small digital camera, obviously not quite the professional quality. Amazing skiing in tough conditions!

That wipeout (last pic) looked really scary from the bottom, almost seemed like he was rolling down on the rocks. Glad to see that he got up immediately and kept skiing.
