Never found Big Sky to over report ever if anything in the past 16 years I have gone it is always underreported..
I guess though YMMV
Here's some SW MT (and Canadia) stoke from this season. Episode One of Bomb Snow TV: http://vimeo.com/56534096
Yeah, get it while it's good! Now you see why people at Bridger knock each other over to get to the pow, they know it might not snow again for months.:biggrin:
you know i'll be around. ask for my section.Quote:

Heh.
Nice TR - you need to drink better though... ;)
Just a touch and go from me here...
I didn't want to doosh up your thread so I posted a fresh what do I do in MT thread. I'd be pumped if some of you dropped in and gave some guidance to us gapers dropping in to Bozeman next week.
Thanks
okbye
Quick question for you Bozeman folks - I might be in town this winter on and off for work - it'll be a day job with semi-flexible morning hours. If I wanted to get my skin on at sunrise during the week is there anything nearby worthy of a morning lap that would have me back in town around 10? I'm used to skiing Glory Bowl before work so something like that would be perfect, but I also get that 2k of sick terrain 20 minutes from town might be a tall order and am cool with some meadow skipping if that's all you got for a quick morning trip.
You don't have to give up directions/trailheads in this thread if you don't want - just some guidance and maybe a shop to talk to would be much appreciated.

History Rock. It's a popular spot up Hyalite.
Thanks guys - much appreciated!
just as an FYI, in case you haven't heard... Friday would be an extremely good day to skip work/class/whatever and go skiing. Gonna dump.
Dump is back on schedule due to anti-jinx.
I've got the flu and won't be skiing for several days.
Mmm ... beer specials and Mystery Ranch backpack raffle.

Seems to be just in time for the snow not to fall. :fmicon:
One inch never skied so well at Bridger this morning...seriously. As with all big storm predictions, I've learned to believe it when I ski it.
Fuck the cold smoke, bring on the concrete and spackle that place up!
We got a fresh 14" of spackled served up this morning @ Snowbowl. Continued pounding through the day should make for lousy riding tomorrow....
Big Sky sure wasn't bad.
Mmmmm, spackle!
Good skiin w/ ya 2day mildwillie, nice soft turns @ the bb ski hill despite minimal accumulation, c'mon NW FLOW!
Roberto MildWillie is correct. A few inches here and there at BS/MLB. Definitely not snowing here now...... Classic sarcasm...:rolleyes2 Challenger had about 6-8 around 3 p.m. and the bowl maybe 4-6. Tram was closed today except for Big C. Should be money tomorrow! Love how patrol sets up for these "believe it" storms. We can get the goods before the masses arrive on Saturday. Honestly hope BB gets the same or more. Get it while you can! Yeah, lurker, stupid name. I'm amazed I remembered it. I will PM Rontele and please jong me. Hearing 30 inches by 9 am. TWSS.. You're welcome. Be safe!
Looked at the GNFAC avy report - looks like thing are getting ugly, and it won't take much to make things kinds sporty out there. Be careful - I wanna be called a gaper by all you bastards when I'm out in Feb...
Today was a total bobber jerk. Hoping tomorrow provides the goods

Didn't happen for a variety of reasons.
When will the NWS figure out that it don't snow appreciable amounts when the air temp is -0f?:cussing:
Well blast. Wife and I had planned to take the day off work today to go to Bridger. $15 deal and all! Ends up the storm that blew in yesterday has caused the highway we depend on to get out of here to be shut down. Would be like a 6+ hour drive to Bridger to take the detour in this weather. So here I am at work.
Enjoy all the fresh goods, pendejos! Should be a killer day out there.
I thought you got out of the Tragic City and live here now?Quote:

If you like to party....

Quick and simple question for Lone Peak mags.
If you are skiing outside the boundaries of Big Sky/MLB and require medical help or rescue.
Who do you think will be the responding party?
Just curious.
Thanks
Im going to guess the Gallitan County Sheriff?
I'm guessing patrol, since I saw your guys and Big Sky's guys out in the cirque yesterday setting up a rescue cache and reflagging the evac route.
Well, probably Madison co s&r coordinating things, but BS/MB patrol would be first responders, and my understanding is patrol/s&r crossover is high, so they would be there for the long haul, eh?

I think you should re-read the signage at the gates.
Everything that happens in terms of SAR on public lands is under the jurisdiction of the County Sheriff.
If we get a distress call from outside our area we call 911 and relay that information to them.
They take over the management of the incident and may request aid from Big Sky/MLB in the form of a fast response team.
Once the Sheriff makes the request it is up to our management (my bosses) to say yes/no and place limits on what that response will mean to our normal operations. (how many people we can spare). Then the wheels will begin to turn.
At that point we will send help. This could take a while and it could possibly take up to a couple of hours to put rescuers on a scene. Even one as close as Lone Lake.
If we feel the route in from the top is not safe, we are not entering that way and will have to come in from the bottom and that means more time.
yo Bunion, do you know DJ? Hes a friend of mine thats trollin at mlb this year.
Sheesh Bunion give me a little credit. You asked who I thought the responding party would be and you pretty much confirmed it would be you guys. I am aware of the SAR red tape and don't go out there relying on you guys by any stretch of the imagination. I've read the fucking sign plenty of times :the_fingeQuote:
