See you on top!
My nose is suffed up.
yeah maybe they should pay you to "do PR" because those of us who have skied there a long time know for sure that it's "PR" that keeps the Bowl running. just like dipshit Will Ferrell and "more cowbell," you can make your sales pitch "more PR!"Quote:

Race to the top huh, well that was an uncharacteristically quick response. It's a PR TRIUMPH! :wink:
Some speed flying I've done on Sentinel over the past month. Some with skis, some without. It's HD on the vimeo site if you like.

There's good skiing to be had around Missoula this year, take advantage of it!
I've had it with this no snow wasteland in Bozeman. I think I'm going to rally over to Lost Trail tonight, camp in my rig and ski tomorrow. Two things:
- Who is skiing there tomorrow? Let's link up. PM me and let's ride.
- Car Camping. Can I just post up in their lot when I get their tonight? Or is there somewhere closer where I can park; trail head, etc.?
:yourock:
There are two lots on the north side of the road for XC skiing coming west on 43 from Wisdom, the one for Chief Joseph Pass is further from the road; it's about a mile before the ski area. The other is right at the junction with 93. I can't remember if there is a toilet in either one or not. The rest area right next to LTP is closed for the winter. There's nothing for a ways on 93 though there are a few places closer down into the Big Hole.
they usually don't care about parking if you ask first, but your arrival time might prevent that. they're only supposed to get a couple in. tonight, so you most likely won't have an issue with plows. i say just park it in the lot.Quote:

I had a great time at yurtski just after ya. We were there Jan 13, 14, 15. Despite the lack of new snowfall we still had decent turns. Most of the stuff below the lookout had been slayed from a large sledneck rally but breakfast bowl, poop chute, burnt trees were untouched. I took my nOOb to bc skiing gf and we found plenty of easy lines and she found most of it accessible. Another part of our crew went out to frozen solider and found a lot more instabilities. Have to say, Adam from yurtski was great to work with, I'd recommend them for yurt skiing opportunities. www.yurtski.com Gotta love having them haul a keg with our gear :biggrin:Quote:

^Looks more than decent to me!
Anyone make it up to the bowl today? With an alleged four inches new, it should've been fun.
I guess I can throw up a couple photos from the yurt.

Bomber day at The Bowl. It got a bit scorched though, and was setting up in the shadows as the day ended.
Yesterday was good, today should hold more of the same . . . . plus
Mattie Gibson memorial run this afternoon 4 pm @ the top of Griz :angel: :snowman: :ufo:
The only way that griz run could have been harder,would be if my boots were unbuckeled.....R.I.P. Matty!:o
Gettin' better up there. Forecasts look like it will stay cool enough through the week.
