Did she backflip off the cornice?
Great pictures, thanks. We miss that place.
She's was taking it easy. Says she's healed up from the Corbett's crash
Beauty of a day up there. Some novelty laps at the basin and a lap on Gardner. Good times.
hows the snow coverage on the hike out of gardner? enough to skin all the way?
I cannot remember anyone ever skinning out of Gardiner but I suppose. Just a 1000 step bootpack to the parking area.Quote:

Yeah you could skin out, but it's so short we didn't even bother.
Thanks guys. Gonna leave the skins and touring boots home this time then.
Closing this weekend?
Yeah I wouldn't be surprised. One of the patrol women we chatted with was like, "Yeah season coming to a close quickly! Lot of melting in the past 4 or 5 days." Air temp was 55* up there yesterday and complete bird with the sun cranking.
there's no way this operation can be remotely close to profitable or close to breaking even, right? Makes sense they are trying to offload it, but doesn't seem very sustainable to any buyer.
I’m assuming they make most of their money off the camps that operate there?
Has to been a labor of love.
I think that good years are at least close to breaking even, but nobody is actually making money on the project on a multi-year timeline.Quote:

Sounds like a job for byates. Put that crypto to good use.
It's on my shortlist of potential beneficiaries in my Powerball dreams, but I haven't managed to buy the right ticket yet.Quote:

great view mag - you skiing saturday or heading out?
Looks mighty quiet out there...
Would love to have met up with and skied with mc2711c- Holler if you come into Jackson.
We have tickets for beartoooth sunday/ closing day and psyched to have seen the conditions past few days
If I can knock out the bulk of this job tomorrow, Im thinking of driving up Saturday morning if M2711c is still there skiing. If not, Ill take a slower roll up and ski on Sunday witchu2.
You driving up after work on Sat.?
Ya we both work Saturday so wouldn’t leave until that evening
Such a pretty drive the entire way from Jackson I'd imagine
That drive never gets old fosho, but its the Park, so traffic can be soul crushing. If ya catch it right and know the way, you can blaze up there damn quickly.
I had it on record from a Beartooth Employee a few years ago that the operation was mostly supported by Big Sky investors, whatever that means. However, Boyne and Crossharbor were named as funders.
Regardless, camping was excellent last weekend with Whiteroom Guardian and his bud, and we had a fun time shredding the headwall, which was in pretty good shape compared to years past.
Beartooth Basin ski area was pretty hammered out by moguls, so I’m not sure I’d pay the $50 full day ticket. I also got a light scolding for going down the ridge line and poaching a little chute. Regardless, the stoke was high and well worth a trip to celebrate how cool that little operation is.

“ great view mag - you skiing saturday or heading out?Looks mighty quiet out there...”I’m here till saturday night for those seeking change of a nickle. Come on out and have some fun! Gotta fly outta bzn sunday morning. No verizon coverage at the basin, so look for green windshirt hoodie on praxis.
is it just me, or does the sky seem quite large in these parts?https://i.postimg.cc/MT2YkJpP/IMG-1744.jpg
Double black poma.
Had a cold one ready for ya bud!https://i.postimg.cc/QxCs92jn/IMG-1796.jpg
