TR; this last weekend at Bridger

Somethin I've been wondering a long while - why is the GNFAC forecasting synchronized with Bridger's operating days? As soon as Bridger closes, they're done even though there's lots of snow around. All their work seems to be field assessments all around the area, is there some sort of equipment they use at Bridger to make the low, fair, considerable, high, extremo forecasts? Yeah I know they do newsletters occaisionally before and after Bridger is open, but they don't do daily forecasts with the rating for the day.

Just a guess, budget. AFAIK- the avy center does not need B Bowl to put out the forcast. I'll ask next time I talk to MStaples.

gnfac got an additional 32k added to their for budget next year, maybe we'll get a longer forecasting season.

If you guys didn't get out today, then...bummer. It was spectacular!

deepter

it was overhead on the dog

more snow tonight?

Heading out this way next weekend. Not going to have cash to buy lift tickets but anyone in the area up for a tour?. Msg me or Text at 403-431-9079. Up for anything

any lifts still spinning in MT?

snowing and blowing hard on the ridge at 7pm. Snow consolidated some since yesterday but is still skiing well. Looked like some good sized sluff out of two way but we didnt get any thing to move in the sluice box. Back at it again tomorrow

Hopefully the east wind doesn't do too much damage, it wasn't too bad this afternoon but is forecast to get a bit stronger. Sluffing hard and fast in steep areas but things should be a little more settled in by tomorrow. I love second season!

wind was kind to fingers, refilled since sunday. Diving Board was deep, saw quite a few more sluffs when things cleared up for a few minuets. Seemed like most were on south facing runs off the nose. More of a crust beneath on that aspect? Three days in a row, back at it tomorrow.

Stay safe out there, +++vibes and best wishes for a speedy recovery to the MSU ski racer that got broke off in Colters.

Loving the pics from Second Season, TC!! Keep 'em coming.

Sun baked out all the powder it touched yesterday, this morning was breakable death crust on anything that wasn't north facing. Bring on the next round of snow

Another amazing day in Slaypril!

How is opening day looking at Bridger?

It looks like a decent storm is brewing. Looking forward to basing out of Bozo Dec 31-jan 6.

Should be a great opener on Friday, though it will be COLD. 14" to 16" storm earlier this week and a settled snow depth of 43" at mid- mountain. Should have most everything open, only question is Schlasman's since the below zero temps and east wind have hampered avalanche control out there.
The NOAA one month outlook is promising for MT : http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/product...ictions/30day/

Hey im heading upto bozeman tomorrow, just in time for opening day! I was wondering anyone knows of any discount tickets/coupons for tickets? I have the feeling that since it a community operated mnt that the answer is NO but it doesnt heart to try

Filthy.

Tomorrow should be good. Schlashmans didn't open and the ridge only opened for an hour or so before it got closed again.

Fuck work.

Yeah. Filthy.

Everyone go to Big Sky. Bridger is a fucking disaster...

Grooming was definitely sub par. Not even a noon groomer. WTF.

Everyone be safe. You could definitely get stuff to move pretty easily by the end of the day.

I love the Bridger Bowl cloud!

The little time slot that the ridge was open, was godamn redonkulous (not that the lower mtn was that bad). Word will be out and all of Bozeman will be up tomorrow, time for this hillbilly to peace out and pull throttle. Enjoy the slayage everyone!

Yeah Lexi Bell. Today was sweet. Nice resurrection of classic thread.

More facial than porn girl Lexi Belle gets in a day

I guess not everyone had a great weekend at B Bowl.

Heh, I rode the lift with the husband of the lady who filmed that.

Lexi's pics are at Big Sky, just FYI. Also, she's like 3 feet tall or some shit.

Oh, rad stoke Lexi, I got side tracked posting the raving lunatic rant.
