I went on a skibatical 2016 for eighty nights with forty or so in the car with the rest in hotels huts tents and couches. Van life was just taking off, but I had places all to myself in winter. Guessing it is much more crowded nowadays
Hope we can finally make some turns together this winter! Fresh coat of white here this morning has your old rig feeling at home.
^noice! Yeah I'll ping you when im coming though. We can skin or whatever. None of my passes work around you, but next year if that ski cooper pass is still basically an Indy I'm grabbing one of those.
Heading out to the Bridger's today to shuffle around and continue to knock the rust off.
Some places, but not really. I've been full time for over 2 years, 6 winters in the van. Mammoth was van central. But that's LA..Quote:

Snowing a bit in Bozeman, local xc should be back in, Bridger may be skinnable if we get a foot up high
Working 6 days a week for the next month, then setting sail for 4 months.

You live in Leadville and don't have a Cooper pass?

the original heather meadows lodge, incredible building. burned down fairly quickly. the lodge and road were constructed, then skiing started out of that, then the ski area.
I’d avoid Mission on the weekend. Thursday and Friday will be nice

Heard. W a baker midweek pass and an Indy pass, generally take Saturday off, then casual ski Sunday somewhere new.
Skiing at baker, everywhere else is far. Which is fine. Probably ski another week or so here then hit the road back towards id/Mt/wy/ut.
some day I'll throw my hands in the air and say fuck it and follow you around and ski
If you’re heading through Wenatchee midweek we’ll show you around MissionQuote:
