Bunion, Beehive is right there.. would or could there be a fast response from your crew to the scene?
Nope, we have no earthly reason to respond to Beehive Basin. Totally different deal entirely.
O.K. cause I wasn't sure you had the ability to read.:tongue:Quote:

Is that one of these ?Quote:

Thought I would contribute some stoke for the first time in a while. Here is a shot Chris Kamman took earlier this week. I would never be able to ride this stuff without the knowledge that Bunion and his crew are ready to respond at the drop of a hat. Totally joking.:wink: Don't ask me where this is and if you know please don't say. Fairly obvious though.
Going home drops back into the Beehive side. It is one of the last very prominent gullies on the way out. It has prayer flags at the top.Quote:

Anybody skinned/skied Maid of the Mist recently and willing to share any beta? How's the route to the top? Things to avoid, etc?
Pisser is I drove out to L&C to take advantage of this nice day and there was too much snow and muck to ride off road.
Pretty woody getting up to Maid of the Mist is an understatement. No one should ever go up there by the route we took. Good trip though.

SNOW! Finally. 18cm/7" from 4:00 up to close today.
It feels good to ski something soft.
^^ Nice beater sequence!
Cooke City was pretty excellent this past weekend: http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...Mt-Zimmer-Yurt
Anyone want to go on a tour this coming weekend?
Thanks to whoever it was that showed me around a little bit last Monday. Finally did 3 tram laps, unfortunately late in the day. Last Sunday and Monday were good. Great turns under Challenger with some fun air off the rocks with Lenin and Marx not too bad either. Didn't get ballsy enough to get out to Dictator or the other sick lines over there.
Felt bad for about a millisecond for the guy who took his "rental" skis off and was trying to climb back up to the patrol at the top of Challenger, getting heckled by the patroller :)
$3 got me a cool sticker for my helmet supporting the Avy Dog Program at Moonlight. Available both at the Moonlight Lodge and at the Madison Base.
T-Shirts available at both locations too. Get em before they sell out.

i love bigsky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anybody getting out for a mellow tour Tuesday? I would like to tag along if anyone is going out. I have all the tools but lack knowledge, looking to learn.
I'm up in Big Sky in the same situation as you. Looks like snow for the next few days but I would be down to get out on something mellow once that calms down a bit.Quote:

Montana Mags - In Big Sky area throught next Saturday. Been here with my wife for the last few days, got to break free for a couple of tram runs/challenger loops, and checking out moonlight today for a half day before I put my wife on a plane back to AZ this afternoon. Spouse-free the rest of the trip, anyone interested in showing me around for the next few days? Promise not to slow you down... Send a PM, I'll check back this afternoon after skiing and airport-running. Thanks!
PM nateski, he skis in the afternoon.
Some stoke.

I'll have to post a few when we get home. Man...the Headwaters have been skiing great the last couple days. Took today off to rest some aching legs, but will get out again tomorrow. Then off to Jackson for a couple days!
To all the greats folks at MLB, thanks again - you guys are the best!
Does anybody know how much the headwaters runoff competition costs?

sorry for the less than easy to find info.
A few shots from last week- should have some more but simply haven't made our way through them all. Thanks to Tone Capone for getting us up to this really cool corner of the ski world.

^^^^fkna rad pics. love me some cooke city stoke, would love to spend more time down there....
Anywho, Montana Mags quick ?
Lookin to ski lift served terrain tommorrow. One of the reasons I love Helena is its centrality. The touring has been very good recently, but lookin to charge a bit harder than usual. Bridger looks like it's been gettin some snow, as has MLB, and LT.......
Sooooooo......... If you were me, and could ski any of these three, which would it be? Some things to consider....
1. I know MLB the best, cut my teeth on Headwaters but havent been back in two yrs, and have heard they have been skiing very well.... Bunion can you confirm?
2. Lost trail + Pow thurs = good times. love me some LT pillow lines. @ three hrs from Helena tis the furthest away of my choices, but i know the terrain very well. The lynch pin on this one is (a) how much snow have they gotten since sunday and (b) how much has it warmed up down there.
3. Bridger. Did it snow up there today? I do not know Bridger well at all, especially the ridge. Any Mags willing to show a Helena JONG around up there? I'd bring down growlers from blackfoot and be equipped for safety briefings if someone was willing to step up. I wont slow you down.
Solo trips can kind of blow, but that's the plan..... what say you mags.....
Obligatory Helena stoke:

Can't speak knowingly for BB conditions, however it was VERY warm on Sat. and has turned awfully chilly.
The southerly aspects on Lone Mountain are pretty hard/firm.
The Northerly aspects are pretty good.
Gird thy loins Bunion, sounds like it might be time for the annual pilgrimage to the dark side...:biggrin:
Thy loins have been girded........
