A few pics of my Cooke City yurt trip over the weekend. It hadn't snowed in a while but we got 6-8" inches on Monday. 3 days of bluebird skies and one day of snow. I'll be back. (Many photos courtesy of Beau Freudlund of Beartooth Powder).
Come on snow today!!!!!

Yeah, we parked next to the lift. There was NO ONE there. There were good lines to be hand and we found some good un-tracked blow-in that was fresh all day long. This place is a gem. Usually I don't like to give away stashes, but I want this place to stay open. Oh, and the food is killer and they have a great tap beer selection.Quote:

Some more Teton Pass stoke:

Bunion, I have Sun-Tues off, but have been injured and not working or skiing for a few weeks. Hence me posting here in the middle of the day. I'd like to take some runs with you when I'm back at it.
Darn right, heck yeah. I need to get to Cooke one of these days.Quote:

Big Sky was awesome yesterday and the couloir was re-opened.Quote:

A couple guys skied big and then ducked over to dobie's(sp?) and were about to drop when we were above them. Looked good with the wind blown. Dakota rode great with good snow and no one there like usual. Wish I would've made it to the Bridger bluebird powday junkshow today
Schlashman's did not suck today. That is all.
You guys that want to help keep a place like Teton Pass open should post the stoke in the main page rather than this regional one to so it gets more exposure. That place looks great!
NSS opened today...walk on trams all day...
Disco closed Wed, Thurs because of brrr.
Great powder at Disco Saturday on the back side. Lots 'o fun.Quote:

And then you have Big Sky, which posts a photo on Facebook with the headline "Beautiful Bluebird Powder Day" with no mention of the fact that it's -10, LOL. I went down there for one of those -20 days early season and it sucked, the snow was creaky and grabby and totally not worth it. But whatever. It's always a great day to ski Big Sky according to their marketing dept. (And, I'm sure, some hardy folks are indeed having a good time there today, just not me because I'm a wimp.)
took three runs at bridger today and my goggles were iced, feet and nose numb, snow felt like i was riding a rockboard full of core shots.. peace!
zion i at the zeeb tomoro nite.
Did 5 days of resort skiing along I-90 Jan 29-Feb 2. Posted Lookout, Snowbowl, and Discovery in the Missoula thread.
Day 3, I-90 exit 306. Bridger picked up an additional 6 inches on top of the foot and a half from the last few days. After ski beer at 406 brewing Co, with a growler fill of the winter ale. Dinner was wood fired pizza from Pizza Campania, I got the bison sausage topped pizza.

Took a few warm up runs and then started hiking the ridge. First drop in spot:

Couple firm turns at the top, but then got nice and soft:

Next we went over to Schlasman lift for a few runs. Really fun terrain and good snow.

Hiked up from Schlasman for a run. Last run of the day hike up to 4th finger. It was truly last run and patrol showed up as we clicked in. Gotta love the avalanche pups:

Day 4, I-90 exit 274. Big Sky has also been getting snow from the storms. They had 6" of new. No crowds, partly sunny...it was going to be a good day. Bison Corral burgers for dinner and Lone Peak brewing winter ale for post ski beers.

Next we went down the Big Couloir twice:

Went up the tram one more time to ski the bowl and then spent the rest of the day checking out powder stashes. I love Big Sky.
Awesome trip. http://i644.photobucket.com/albums/u...ndom/prost.gif
