Tone is right this week really sucked not worth going all week.
Tone is right, since Bridger is so small, it gets tracked out and is only worth going if there is 16 plus inches of new. I prefer Lone Peak, it is where the big mountain riders are and that is What I am. A big mountain rider.Quote:

I just think it's funny what a ghost town that place can be while the skiing is still so good. It's like a private ski area for dirtbags on non pow days, the 1% can have the Yellowstone club and the Bozeman "sick day" crowd, well, you know.
Atta Boy... haven't seen a Dfy in years!!!
you can go out at Dakota and hit the flanks of cedar or go to fan for a long day trip. but maybe youre not doing that.
Thanks.Quote:

Its funny to see Bridger so bigtime now . Fish Eye Guys pics almost make me miss Bozeman . When I stumbled upon Bozeman in 96 , the most epic Bridger winter EVVVVARRRRR there was still dive bars downtown ,free food at the Zebra upstairs on sundays ,the yuppie trustafari element was only beginning to take over . Thats the missing I feel , the missing of times long since gone . Its funny Fsh Eye Guy has a pic of a Boze loc who i remember a kid fresh out of Bozeman High then hes in his 30's now. Good times good to see still shredding . And a FB comment from T Boss I remember sk8ing with him at the mini ramp in the garage off Babcock .
Good times fellas in a way you have it better now w/ the expansions. Keep up the stoke !
Quick edit , back in 96 Big Sky hate was strong in Boze walk down main street and ask a local where to ski 9/10 it was Bridger all the way .
The snow sucked at Big Sky ,closed or not open,rocks everywhere . No talk of it never gets skied out . From what is hear is all the Bridger old locs are Big Sky guys now . And they have snowmobiles too ! I remember 13 years when I got a sled people where like no no no . that was when Hyalite was open and we would go up there in May and brap not a soul around . insert memory lane .:fmicon:
Here's a picture from the top of Hidden on Thursday morning. The guy with the snowboard kicked in most of the boot pack from the top of Bridger to the ridge. I said "smile, I'm taking a picture to post on TGR." There was lots of snow all the way down. Sorry, no action shots. I had about as much fun as you can have on skis. I got some helmet-cam video and it's as boring as hell.

That's where Bridger Skiers go to retire when they get old, soft, and broken.:smile:Quote:

Hey Bridger Mags...
Thinking of a road trip down there next week. Can I assume that well above freezing temps (like +11C) and rain in Bozeman will still translate to snow on the mountain?
Still wintery down there? Worth a 9 hour drive?
Day to day. Yesterday it was supposed to snow today, but today arrived with no snow and a lot of blue sky. Could come tonight or not at all, who knows. Weather forcasts are notoriously wildly inaccurate around here.Quote:

Any of that help?
Yeah, it helps a bit in that it sounds like here regarding predicting weather. ;)
I wasn't looking for a weather prediction for next week so much as wondering if warm and rainy in town TENDS to still result in cool and wintery on the mountain.
The road trip is happening next week no matter what... but where I go will be a game-time decision. I've been wanting to check out Bridger/Big Sky for a while now so that's my preference, but if it's puking somewhere else within a days drive, that's where I'll go.
Very unlikely in will rain at Bridger. If it's rain in town it will be dense snow that will cover the chunder and moguls, woo hoo!
Just what I wanted to hear... thanks.Quote:

Oh man, that hurts. I guessed wrong and went to Jackson. 80mph winds and no upper lifts running at 11:30 so I gave up. Hoping tomorrow is better, but I should be up your way in a few days.Quote:

It's been skiing well but the crust underneath the new snow is definitely there. A few more inches ought to fix that problem, which seems like this weeks weather trend. Steeper shit is scraped off (middle aged hippy pow turns are skiing well) but I'd say give the recent lack of snow and warm temp it's doing well. Today was better than I thought it would be.
Twas a pretty nice sleeper day on Sunday, glad to see you two enjoyin the goods. The family that slays together.......
It's a lil rough up there now but it won't take much.
Much better today.
Nice pics cj, good seein you fools around pnut hopin you and your bro found a nice spot; been thinkin of you.
Also big thanks to the ghostrider for sharing a piece of the pie, tasted mmmgood today.
Spring skiing is o.k., but... Last week was off the hook! It still amazes me how much terrain we have to explore down south. The endless fall line jib fields of Saddle keep you comin back for more, and the more convoluted stuff in the pinnacles can be very interesting and rewarding when it's good. Hippy pow extravaganza further out.... Not much in the way of pics as my camera is tempermental these days, but did manage to snap a few of my last trip out there.

Nice, tone.
Hell yeah tone, bringing the bridger stokage.
The shenanigans will continue until its snows or the season is over. Yours truly on the guitar. Great turn out for the D-Bag tonight. Good times had by almost everyone.

Nice daily vid today mildwillie sendin alpine off proper, got some good family closure today see you fools tomorrow! <weeping>
Sorry I missed the party Lexi, unfortunately the closing festivities coincide with the middle of my workweek. Wish I could get down with y'all but I gotta just get my turns in and run. Hope to milk a few more good days out of the frequency card next week and do a little celebratin on Tuesday and Wednesday. I'd be stoked if we get a shit ton of snow the rest of April and May!
5" of cream to harvest, mmmmmm.
Well damn. Hard to imagine a better way for things to wrap up. Camera was acting up due to all the snow :biggrin:
But did manage to get one that was worthwhile...

Twas a great day to end the season on, just enough cream to keep ya hoverin over the crust. Somehow I got through it all without gimping myself again which was priority #1 this year. Glad to see everybody out havin fun and doin their thing, wish I coulda partied but I don't wanna rock the boat too much with my sweet work schedule these days. Base, you're gonna love skiing more than ever after they fix you up. Hope it dumps till we get a 100 inch base at some point this month. Always some unfinished business naggin at me after the lifts close.
was employee day today, im stoked for the start of second season. cruised some 8" fluff at goose creek this morning.
