Anyone driving up from SLC for this with possible room for a passenger. Trying to help out a buddy who needs some positivity
Baertooth pass closed at stateline due to recent snow. Lifts are supposed to spin Tuesday. ON3P party next weekend.
Maggot party(we need a name for this)
Weekend after next.

Damn this sounds awesome but not in the cards for this guy. Been a long time since I’ve skied in the ‘tooth’s. May have to pencil in next year and make it yuudge.
BASH-IN it is. Djongos got quite a good bit more experience in the BTs than me so we're gonna let him run this thing and call all the audibles.
Dj cant wait to see you friend, its only been a few months but way too long

Yah, sounds good. I don't wanna make plans for others but I can help/advise on logistics, angle of attack and where to shack up.
IF all want to have a group site, well that can be arranged. Knowing when ya plan on arriving will help. My plan is to leave by 7 am Friday to miss some of the park traffic. Should be at campsite by noon. If Bruce SS goes, I may haul his gear so he can Moto up on the KTM.
Baby-Bear - You and skijunky plan on coming up?
Looking forward to a fun weekend with you youts.
We will miss you 2Funky...You would be the in-charge mag for the BT Bash-In.
I am out, taking the weekend for an adventure with my father. If he had ski gear with him we would join, but this year it will be exploring gravel roads and remote fishing from the motorcycles.

No worries G. - tell yer pops he can roll the FZ if'n he wants to.
Abraham and i should be rolling into red lodge Thursday evening. The plan was to get a room first night then set up camp either before or after skiing friday. Before makes the most sense cause those campsites can fill up on the weekends

i'm on board for this, planning on arriving at the basin early sunday (23rd) and skiing sun/mon. don't know many of you, really any of you but i'm a good guy and a decent skier and love a good time with good people.
sounds like most folks are leaning towards a group campsite so if at all possible it'd be awesome to have a spot available with/near everyone for a sunday arrival and overnight stay. it's just me in my subi wagon so i don't need a whole lot of space
much appreciate and thanks in advance, looking forward to this!
I’m planning to head up tomorrow and check out the conditions. If anyone else is in the area, shoot me a message.

should be good up there with all the new junuary snows

So I think we’re pretty much in. just waiting to see if skijunky has to work to confirm but I may still roll up solo even if he can’t join
i haven’t been to beartooth in a long time.
last time we were there with a big group we went to the Snow crk saloon after skiing, where they had 25 cent beers.
already several beers in my buddy decides to buy a whole waiters tray of beers- at least 15 + and makes it about 3 feet before tripping and the whole tray goes flying. it was perfect physical comedy but unintended [emoji23]

Sounds like the Basin will be closed for another weekend? At least I saw ON3P canceled their summer bash. It is going to be deep for you all. Wondering how the late opening will affect the basin going forward. Hope they can sell enough lift passes to remain
Sent from my iPhone using TGR Forums
The Basin crew are shooting to open the lift tomorrow. Got the parts in and installing now.
Plenty of snow up there and driving is good. Hope all you mags are still planning on a Bash-in.
I will send out a PM to those of you who seem to be in and will give you directions to the campspot. It's easy and doesn't involve a rattly dirt road with tons of traffic. All are welcome and holla to me if ya need info.
Really fun skiing, lift service and stellar camping in SW MT. That's good living right there.
Wish I could go, but can't that weekend.
Abraham and i will be there for sure

Got a call out of the blue and it seems like I'll be up there the same weekend of the pow-wow. The old man wanted to get some laps up there and some skin/hikes in too. Likely going to camp near town and then ski all day Saturday before high-tailing it back to Missoula late Sun.
So if I'm lucky I might get a chance to see/ski with some more of you mags. Also looking forward to some Snag Bar time in RL.
Cheers all!
The ‘Tooth’s are full of snow and skiing pretty darn soft, as of Thursday.
Myself and Nest, along with Mrs. Nest, had a ski along some east facing aspects of the Gardiner Headwall on Wednesday and Thursday.
The coverage was great, but I found the snow to be really manky in the afternoon (duh).
Just saw on the Facebook page for the basin, that they will be open tomorrow for Father’s Day!

Mmmm looking pretty fat and sexy up there. Can't wait to schuss down those slopes

Nice work Superior and the Nests! Everyone wants to know what it's looking like.
Coverage looks great, a week of a few peeps shaving off the top layer and it should be excellent by the weekend.
This may be quite the shindig as a group of J-locs are already gearing up for next weekend.
Lindenle - Are you planning on going up?
Baby Bear - Holla at me if yer going up, need anything, or wanna connect...
S_Jenks - you and pops are welcome to camp in our zone if ya like plenty of space to pitch away from the festivities. And the creek drowns out all but the loudest partiers.
Djongo _ waiting on your PM for camp directions.

Same, plan on being out there Friday afternoon. Unsure if we will be camping with the group or out off a FS road.Quote:

A coupla nice vids up on the BTB FB page of opening day skiing. Bombing the cornices, making turns...
^^ yo Djongo my buddy. I have to work on Saturday and I can't get out of it. Sounds like a fun time but I can't make it.
I'm out as well unfortunately. Hope y'all have a killer time!
We'll be there Friday and Sunday as wellQuote:

At it's best, mindblowing. At least, usually an adventure. Still a pretty raw experience (despite the Poma).
Hiking the Tundra plateau over to RC Coolie is an amazing view. I am amped now. My knee just clicked in agreement.
-wax for wet snow
-maybe cold/wet camping. Bring firewood if ya got sum. I got some cut ends from a deck project last fall.
H- was sure hoping to party witchu Saturday evening though. Soon we'll have to go slay some like last summer. And plan yer big JH weekend w/mags galore. Next trip. Sweets for Gigi.
SA - see ya when we do, mag. Safety to ya.
I work Friday too, unfortunately.Quote:

Bummer. Even if the roads are open the pass is SUPER sketch in white out conditions. Buddy and I got disoriented looking for a pitch to ski and damn near walked off a huge cliff. We followed our tracks back to the truck and tried to smoke the rest of our weed.
Sounds like Abe's kind of party.Quote:
