Oh, snap!!. Forgot about that nasty anniversary.....again. Second year in a row. My memory of it is slowly fading, apparently. I feel so damn good these days that I sometimes forget. It isn't that I never think about it.... am reminded in one fashion or another now and again.Quote:

You can see the base area in the distance, on the Montana/Idaho border.

Have been busy, ending one job, (owner sold his business) and then looking for and starting another one on Monday.... also filling in at the hill, working ticket office while regular employees recover from illness(s). Also, all the boys and I met up on Saturday, along with buddy Dirk. I worked ticket office morning and evening, snowboarded the afternoon. Snowed all day. A great day for KC, but it went from hero to zero by Monday night (last night). Warm temps today with wind......not good.
So...headed back up to Lost Trail Pass again this Friday to show a friend the hill, patroller buddy of mine from Pebble Creek. Should be fun.
A few shots from Saturday....

Me? I broke the upper strap on my back binding. Learned to tele-board that day.

Also, went back to the beginning and have started to replace dead photobucket links..... it'l take me a while....

The home hill is on deathbed, even though I have manned the ticket office on a few occasions, I haven't been snowboarding there for a couple weeks now....
Going to be at BigSky on March 3 and 4. The whole family along with TJ,! Our old buddy Mac will be present also. The only skier of the bunch will be TJ, the rest of us drag our knuckles. If you are up there, look for the Red FreeRide Jackets, Tate and I, can't miss us. I'll be on Mr. K for a good portion of the time, keeping Mrs. LBL company.
LT is so much fun! See ya at the Ghee.
Forgot about Liam. He is a skier...till he learns to drag his knuckles.....Quote:

The local hill closed for the season, and then reopened. It's been pretty good the last few days...

ANY CHANCE OF YOU MAKING IT TO THE BBI IN BOZEMAN LITTLE BIG LOST
Thanks for the invite, but I'm going to have the whole damn family in tow that weekend.. 12 in total, and while several of us would love to, there is an equal amount that ain't going to go for that. While the wifey can snowboard, she is 61 and has limited ability. Her interest in this sport comes no where near my own. Different universe. So...gonna have to pass. 😁Quote:

Photos from the trip coming soon, had to work a double at the hill today, so as soon as I get a minute, I'll make it so. 😁

Mac, our long lost buddy, he hooked us up.... haven't seen him in a while, but it was just like old times. Holy hell can he ride.....we are nowhere near the rider he has become.

More to come.... I am working at the hill today (so i have to start getting ready), where KC closed for a week, many of the staff went and found other work..... so I am filling in as they reopened to a shit ton of snow. 5 feet in a week..... this was last Monday.
https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4666/2...f9624dc9_b.jpg
Thanks! We will talk!Quote:

Most of the time in the ticket office, also lifty at the top of 2 now and again....it's been good the last couple of weeks after what could be arguably the worst season in years, is now one of the best. Never does KC stay open much past the 3rd of March. Its the 11th and going to be open at least to the 17. wOw!
Some photos...
Ski Patrol buddies... I have lots of them...

I'll be up there all next week, working and playing....
.....got some face shots at KC on last day of the season (last Saturday), unheard of in the history of the hill...
https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/793/39...da1535cd_z.jpg
After what was arguably one of the worst seasons, turns out to be one of the best....
I'm 3 years older than this place.
https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4776/3...d5c37469_c.jpg
Plenty of snow up there still, but lack of interest forced it to close... So....I have some half off tickets to both Big Sky and Targhee... hope to get up to one or the other before end of season...

We are trying to raise some funds to put toward the $5000 we need to get him out and home with his family. We miss our dad! He is an upstanding guy and has never been in any sort of trouble with the law in his 62 years; we were blown away that his bond was set so high given his clean record. It's hard to ask for help, but I'm putting aside my pride because $5000 is just out of the question for our family right now, especially given the attorney's fees that we've incurred. Anything that you could contribute would be SO immensely appreciated. Below is a link to the Go Fund Me campaign that I've set up. Please send positive vibes our way, we're really missing our dad! Peace & Love!
