Had a great time skier BB on Saturday after the fog lifted. Thanks for the beta, 2nd finger skied great. Didn't get any more hiking in but N/NE aspects were nice and soft off Schlashman's. Daughter was digging the terrain. :DQuote:

What. Nothing surprises me anyone.
A 2 edged sword. There is good mountain biking but almost all of it requires putting the bike on the vehicle and driving to a trail head.Quote:

Not out of the realm of possibility
This. Just based on the width of the valley etc. If town were built touching up against the mountains like Helena it would be a different story. That being said we have tons of amazing riding and it's worth loading the bike up for a relatively quick drive. Like pretty much anywhere on the planet you can drive a bit and ride trails and see maybe one or two other people. Or just go to Leverich on Friday at 5pm lol.Quote:

Which makes it awesome for a lot of reasons, but an experienced biker might be bored quick on a longer travel FS bike. It's more suited to an XC or even a gravel bike.Quote:

Living on the west side a gravel bike is a huge asset.
Oh funny, I just drove by that yesterday and was wondering what that development is. That's great to hear about new trails tying in.
Totally agree. I'm in town, but try to get to River/Axtell Anceney anytime I can on the gravel bike. So fun.
Thanks, that looks close enough to ride from campus.Quote:

Makes sense. She's gonna go without a car the first year, but hopefully can bum a ride.Quote:

I didn't have any problem making an Ikon reservation for my daughter mid-March. You make the reservation through Ikon, not through Big Sky. If you just show up without a res you won't be turned away but you'll get a scolding email from Ikon saying if you do it again your pass may get suspended. (Some lady on the chair told me that.) FWIW Big Sky has not been busy this year, partly bc of low snow but I also get the feeling the whole pandemic/Ikon mad rush is over. Everybody did their Montana vacation, now they are going other places. Also, with the increased tram capacity, I just can't see them turning away Ikon pass skiers or any skiers. You could call Mountain Services and inquire if it ever happened this year. I doubt it.Quote:

Ran into WRG at the trailhead. Small world...
Haha, that was funny. Happened to be out that way looking at some land and the dogs needed to stretch their legs.Quote:

Damn if only the Tobacco roots had easier access. Such nice mountains.Quote:

Lots of old mining activity so there are many 4x4 roads that go high, no Wilderness, lots of sledding and rugged bc MTB.
40+ peaks over 10k ft, pretty dense sweet highcountry.
