Well, not really but I wish I did. It may very well be a thing in another year or two. I would like to do a a two month run at least one season there. Infiltrate the local scene and learn the mountain a bit would be the missions main focus.Quote:

Bluewood WA is a sweet little gem. Beautiful tree skiing. Groomers are pristine. Beautiful area as well. Quiet. Onto Boise and a couple days at soldier en route to UT.
Seeing the sun for the first time in a week or so. Thank Ra!!

settling in to a few weeks at the beav. sweet spot. great vibe. logan is a quiet clean town,
25$ a month at the rec center for a shower and hot tub. gas is 2.88$ at sams club.
will ski pine creek on the weekends. anyone reading this within striking distance of the creek, i've got 2 buddy passes w my pass. come ski some laps at the creek!
why isnt youtube embedding! we need to start a gofundme for tech peeps.
1997-2007 my winters were spent at the Beav, residing in Logan then Cove. I hope to get back up there this year. It’s such a mellow fun mountain.
Sounds like a little place I know called Monarch… Near-ish enough to Leadville/Cooper, just down the road an hour. Holler if you roll through on your way south.Quote:

The beav is Beaver ski area. Utah.
Beaver creek isn't skiing. It's a fashion show
Kind regards
Mtm where are you skiing these days?
Beaver Creek has its, um, idiosyncracies, but it also has some damn fine skiing.
^ agreed. It's legit. Men's downhill etc.. great skiing everywhere really

What tires are you running on your van?
Finally replaced my old Sportsmoblle lost in the fire with a Fort Trnsit AWD. I am still on the factory Continentals and had good luck with them in the first Mammoth dumps this year.
Hope we get to run into each other again sometime...cheers.
^ nice! I am a Cooper discoverer m+s devotee. I buy in August beat the guy up price wise usually 750$-900.
AWD transit and them it is a tank.
No ikon this year. May be over to Shasta/Ashland at some point. You'll be stoked on the transit.
Thanks, I have been stoked on it so far. Now I just need to learn the inside info for #vanlife. Mostly. Where to park in and around ski towns.

go full decoy work truck. safety tape. reflective vest in the passenger side seat.
parking, ppl way overthink this. as long as you are sober, anywhere works. long day on the road, you thought it best to pull over for a bit..
7 winters including 2 yrs full time, only one knock. (well, that time at solitude where i almost got arrested drunk af etc-glad i'm not doing that shit anymore)
sweet skiing at maverick MT today. owner knocked on my door when i pulled in thinking i was the cat mech! great guy, late 30"s. sweet little hot spring up the road. just another scenic montana mountain valley.

First of all, this:
Faaak...I loved Maverick Mountain. I often look back and think about the guy manning the mid-station of the double chair. He looked exactly like Warren Buffet, and it made me wonder if some of these old-timers are secretly rich guys having a lark. I hope I am swinging chairs PT in retirement just for the social engagement.Quote:

I saw him in the bar at the end if the day and offered to buy him a beer. He laughed and revealed he was the owner (Kevin).
Over the next hour he asked for my story and I told him I was from back east but based out of Bozeman for the winter. He asked if I would deliver a sled he had sold to Bridger Bowl Mountain Ops and said I would. He handed me the keys to his truck and when I returned he comped me for a week of lift tickets. The world is a great place when you say yes more and no less.

Reply with quote to this post and see the syntax.
It's been like that since I can remember.
vimeo is different.
^ copy that thx.
that's great.
Wow, it must be lonely skiing there without 10,000 of your closest friends like in Mammoth.
Love the rig camouflage. Very Batesian mimicry.
Skiing beaver in UT this past week. Soft pleasant pow skiing daily. I need some sun. Grey all day everyday for what seems like months.
Jamming to taos for a couple few weeks.
I don't get the hurrying to Taos. They are starting to get some stuff open. If you have touring gear I would not drive by Wolf Creek. Also if any of those two shots happen in the next 10 days might be worth paying full price for a ticket.
+1. Snow is finally stacking up on this side of the Juans too.Quote:

It's a completely different mindset when you ski full time for 4 plus months.
It's nuking rain in beaver UT now. Eagle point tomorrow am will be yet another pow day.
Also I want to be in the dry desert for a couple weeks. Been in full time snow since late October.
My wife saw a dozen polygamists skiing at Eagle Point in long dresses last year. Let us know if they are out shredding tomorrow and getting face shots.Quote:

First time skiing at 10k feet this year. Feeling it.
made it to taos, nice drive through s ut, n az and nm.
