Anybody been outside the resort lately? Just wondering if Specimen Creek, the Rind or Lionshead are skiable yet.
You sir, are brave. I got a few hours in yesterday. It was nice to slide on snow with some sticks on my feet. I didn't venture up the bowl or Challenger.Quote:

Ill be working ('trolling) up there on Sunday. Pretty excited about the conditions so far and about how much fun people seem to be having. It looked pretty bleak a week ago.
I was sick over break, so I didn't get up yet this season. How is coverage on Challenger? Sounds good for early season if its even open yet. How are the gullies looking?
chally has been skiing surprisingly well. getting a tad beat up now, but there is some soft in the trees.
Yeah, fun times on challenger Monday Tuesday. We got our money's worth no doubt. Not like anybody else was up there:

Fun skiin with some quality mags, sorry we missed ya tenex. Baseweldr, we should finally rip some laps up at Bridger and have a beer at the Griz soon. tone capone has finally been re booted.
Has there been any beta on when the tram might open up?
Possibility of some skiing up there today or tomorrow. Probably guided tours, Marx only.
Word is, difficult travel to get to the skiing, well worth it from the last snow fence to the Duckwalk.
We are starting A/C work in Headwaters today.
Quit my job seismic drilling today, headed up to Big Sky to celebrate!
anybody brave marx today?
^^didn't wanna wait around, challenger laps were fun again...
Headed to Big Sky tonight. Sadly not gonna get a chance to ski this weekend (FML), but at least wanted to drop off all my skis somewhere for a wax and tune. Might have some serious ptex work to do after my last adventure. Any suggestions as to what shop I should go to in the area?
Anyone gonna be at Big Sky tomorrow?
oh yeah. all day. grey pants light green coat, fatty rockered EP pros, rasta hat. hit me up

Challenger was awesome today, if you dodged the rocks and the people. Loved it.
Austin, Lone Mountain Sports (LMS) will fix you up right.
Skied Big Sky on thursday, friday and sunday. Lots of fun. Today (sunday) was windy as fuck. Andesite was open, swifty was for a little while. SUPER wet up there. My buddy just walked in saying it's raining up there right now.
On thursday I had some pretty good laps up at challenger. Fun times. Wrecked my ski's pretty hard but who cares...
The bowl and challenger never opened today. After Swifty went down everyone came over to Andesite and tippy's kinda turned into a shitshow. Decent snow in the morning though but got super wet as the day went on. It was snowing when I left.
Big Sky sure reminded me of the PNW this weekend with the weather! Didn't get to ski, but glad you guys had fun either way. Heard the mountain was a bit of a zoo!
Yah... Not ideal. But bad skiing is better than no skiing. Let's hope that this storm that rolled in brings the goods. Big Sky needs it.Quote:

What's up with that? Hope we get hammered over the next few weeks! Gotta start taking the local school's ski club kids up to the mountain pretty soon. Kids are super stoked. Best chaperone gig ever!!! Definitely beats prom duty. Can't wait to start skiing again!
Today at BS was kinda weird but good. Left Bozeman at 8 am it was 50 degrees. By the time I got up to the Big Lie it was 34 and a heavy mixture of snow/rain/sleet was coming down-memories of Mt Baker.
Skiing was good-best day yet of the season for me. Cream cheese with refills due to 30 mph winds. Coverage is getting better and better-but was still glad to have the rock skis. tram ran for a while-saw a few peeps coming down the Big-did not see anyone skiing anything else-. They bombed the hell out of the bowl-did not load the triple till 10ish?? A good day for the Goretex-
Things are gonna get crusty-very wet down low. Already setting up at the end of shift.
Cheers!
Heard that Moonlight has more snow-
sorry for the blog-but this thread has been too quiet the last couple of days
Chris

Moonlight looks gooooooood. A bit rugged down low, beacause of the warm temps, but the Headwaters and rest of the upper mountain have great coverage. Friday will be fun.

We bought a bag jump.
50x50 and it will be set up at the bottom of Pony until we finish the site prep near the Madison village.
What do you all think?
About Bag jumps in general.
I think that is cool as fuck !Quote:

Will it be in view from the bar, so that I can drink beer and watch the carnage ???

Some pictures of skiing in Southwest Montana:

Not blower by any means, but plenty of it to keep a brotha slashin and slarvin over buried rock and tree.
Never seen a bag jump, so never did one. Will stop and take a look and watch others attempt, will support MLB anyway I can!!!Quote:

Hey Bunion: That ex-patroller that you and I both know had his 6 y/o son go through a ski gymnastics class this summer that included a foam pit. He said the little ripper can do inverted aerials now. I will tell him about your bag jump and offer up couch space. Can kids do it/any age restriction ?
Sign a waiver and throw down.
Just got word we are going to be delayed a few days so no bag jump til next week, but if Gibby makes his way over give a holler.
Bunion, any word on the snowfield?
