Sure, Big Sky and Bozeman on the edge of that, but even if it's an inch of water, that could be a foot or more above 6000'. I don't know about you, but that's a great way to lay down a base. Now, the real question is if I've jinxed us all by posting that...Quote:
Good Morning Everyone! The Heavy Precipitation forecast for the storm system that will arrive late Tuesday has remained consistent over the past 3 days enhancing confidence in this outcome. Here is the latest precipitation forecast for Wednesday through Thursday. Heavy precipitation is expected west of a Miles City to Sheridan line, with up to 2 inches possible west of a Roundup to Red Lodge Line. This precipitation will fall mainly as snow above 6000 feet bringing the potential for very heavy snowfall to the Beartooth/Absaroka and Crazy mountains should this forecast play out. Some snow accumulation is possible for the foothills including Red Lodge, but doesn't look heavy at this time. Anyone with outdoor or travel plans mid week should keep up with the latest forecast and plan accordingly.
:fmicon:
OK, so there was more fresh snow on the higher peaks around Bozeman this morning; anyone know how much the Beartooths got?
TGR screening tomorrow at the Emerson. Giggity. See you busters there.
Giggity.
Bump because it is snowing in Bozeman right now.
:cool:

Even the pup is stoked for the snow. Bring it!
And because I haven't posted enough in this thread today, I saw this on teh BookFace:
No further info provided...Quote:
Big Sky Resort's upgraded season pass and ticket prices will be going live tonight, as well as the upgrade for Moonlight Basin Ski Resort season pass holders.
welp, it's all posted now. and moonlightbasin.com redirects to big sky.
upgrade prices seem fair... http://www.bigskyresort.com/the-moun...ca-season-pass
can't get to this camera as stated above Moonlightbasin.com redirects to big sky site but here is what it looked like earlier today:Attachment 142196
As far as I can tell, the only upgrade available is to go full hog with the Biggest Skiing in America. There doesn't seem to be any options for Sky cards, Bronze or Silver passes, unless I read that wrong.Quote:

Bronze and Silver passes are valid for the dates and terrain that they were purchased for. There will not be a Bronze Biggest Skiing in America pass or a Silver Biggest Skiing in America pass. However the days that these passes are invalid they will allow you to receive $25 off our regular $99 BSIA lift ticket. If you are looking to upgrade either pass to have unlimited access to Moonlight and Big Sky you will be paying the difference between the cost of the pass you have purchased and the $1298 BSIA pass (if purchased before 10/31). With the BSIA pass you will have unlimited direct to lift all season long with no blackout dates. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact us.
Some sucky phone pics of some great October wiggle pow: Attachment 142268 Attachment 142269
Very good on ya!
I see the Frequency Cards jumped up to $179. Does that include Moonlight for that price ? Hard to justify at that price even if it does.
Does not effect me (season pass) but it does effect a bunch of my friends.
Based on my email and all the comments on the Big Sky Facebook page; it does not. Which is not cool. Not sure how they are really going to enforce that ...Quote:

2. Just got back from Kellogg ID. anyone have any thoughts about Silver Mountain? Good or bad?
The skiing isn't anything spectacular--especially coming from here--but the mountain biking is fantastic!
I find a lot to like about Silver - no crowds and low key vibe, but Big Sky it is not. That said, I've had some great powder days there.Quote:

I can't imagine he is still at Silver, but if John Deline (sp?) is still there, do some research. He was at Snowbowl in the 80s, some had problems with him, others did not. I got along with him just fine and had a blast.
I LOVE Silver Mountain. Spent alot of time there with our common friend.Quote:

Best Feature = "Silver Saturdays". After the season ends they open up every Saturday as long as at least 1,000 paying customers showed up the previous Saturday. I have skied in June with that program.
Great news!Quote:

There is no college and no "freeride terrain" so no large influx of young people there, so the demographics sure are different than here. The mountain reminds me of a bigger east coast resort situated in a decent western snow belt... a bit like Sugarbush but with more snow.
