2012 Montana Conditions, Stoke and Whatev Thread

[Bunion 2020]

If I'm guesstimating correctly here and if the webcams that I've been refreshing like a recovering addict on methadone show me, Big Sky should be the business tomorrow. Anyone want to meet for a few laps?

Hard to say.... It snowed pretty hard all day with falling temps. and N. winds. That being said, the new snow didn't bond real well with the old surface of slush piles and chicken heads from Sun. & Mon. On slope angles steeper than about 35 deg. everything sluffed right off. The sluff piles were really tasty though.

A-Zs were scratchy underneath and reports from the S. Face were dust on crust. Still, tomorrow is forecast to be brilliantly sunny and cold with a gradual warming trend. Looks to be sunny through at least Sat.

Tomorrow is my Friday and I plan to hit some favs. like an A-Z on the way to a lap off the N. Summit before I have to slave away at the weekly staff meeting.

Make no mistake, the skiing will be good, but I think the less traveled and lower mountain N. facing terrain will be where the money is. Shady Chute, Peru/Bolivia, Lone Moose etc.

And of course the Headwaters.

FYI for all you Big Sky only ticket holders, we are taking a much harder line with people who ski the Headwaters beyond Cold Spring w/o a Moonlight pass. If we see you, expect to be escorted to the ticket office and you will buy a pass for the day.

The alternative is either losing your pass at the other resort or talking to the Sheriff.

We spend a lot of money on opening and maintaining that terrain and if you want to ski it, we are psyched.

But you gotta pay for the pleasure.

This place needs stoke.

These are some real live mountain outlaws getting after it this week at Bridger!

Hey Bunion

Why don't you turn your head the other way and let the kiddies ski? Did you get into ski patroling to be a cop? If so there are plenty of ski areas in Colorado that would love to have you.

[Bunion 2020]

Hey hofman, I work for a company that is struggling to stay in business.

That means we need to be paid for the services we provide.

Did you become a skier to steal?

Thanks for the tip, Bunion. I've never thought about skiing the snowfield without the ticket; doesn't seem right.

As for yesterday, your summation was about dead on. The NW winds shut down the triple and I never go on the tram, unfortunately. But, the windloading refilled Challenger quite nicely all day. Dakota was highly variable with dust on crust in some locations. Never really skied much else as it was too good.

Shraddacord, thanks for the pr0n. The Bridger peeps are pretty self important with their own thread, so be sure to share that photo stoke with them too.

I watched the tram line yesterday. The Fast Pass thing is slowing down the tram line quite a bit. I'm not sure about the numbers, but, if they let 5 people up every 15 minutes or so, then every 15 minutes, all day long, 5 people are happy and about 100 people are pissed. This doesn't even take into account ski school and every volunteer ski patroller that wants to take a break from Andesite. ( If employees can't use the Fast pass, then patrollers who are not stationed on the peak should also be kept out ). Why fuck with the tram line? For many years now it has taken care of itself. If there is a problem, why is it so popular?

free bs day pass. best joke takes it.

[senior researcher]

Federal Judge Dick Cebull,shit.....is a joke,a bad one.

[john c]

free bs day pass. best joke takes it.

the headwaters as a comp venue?

maybe, if prizes were given for rock rolling and kite flying.....

[Bunion 2020]

John C was taking a leak....

The joke was.... in his hand.............

[john c]

so there I was, on top of the headwaters, bulletproof windfuck ribbons of mank lay skied out between the endless feilds of scree.....The kite flying was descent as the steady north wind which perpetualy blows the snow to West Yellowstone provided perfect lift for my extreme kite which I have named Lone Onion. Quickly on my way to becoming the first skier from Lone Peak to ever be sponsored, allbeit for kite flying but that is beside the point. when, I'd be damned if Butt onion and his partner Dick potatoe didn't go cruising by me in what looked to be an all new all terrain pig cruiser snowmopigbile complete with light bar and shotgun mount, on their way to the other side of cold springs, the pig fuck sellout fun police in full force looking for rulebreakers or Bridger skiers one upping the locs. Otherwise known as people not smart enough to hav moved to Jackson. But shit, B Onion had his left hand on the wheel and his right hand down officer D potato's pants and the fucking donuts flew off the dashboard smeering jelly all over Butt o's goggles and the damn pigmobile went carreening down rock springs and blew up a condo complex so we had to cancel the exteme comp n shit but we can still take reservations for the facial at the spa just like at Vail eh?. What is my point? I don't fucking know.?@!?!#?!

A man escapes from prison where he has been for 15 years. He breaks into a house to look for money and guns and finds a young couple in bed.

He orders the guy out of bed and ties him to a chair, while tying the girl to the bed he gets on top of her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom. While he's in there, the husband tells his wife:

"Listen, this guy's an escaped convict, look at his clothes! He probably spent lots of time in jail and hasn't seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck." If he wants sex, don't resist, don't complain, do whatever he tells you. Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you. This guy is probably very dangerous. If he gets angry, he'll kill us. Be strong, honey. I love you."

To which his wife responds: "He wasn't kissing my neck. He wwas whispering in my ear. He told me he was gay, thought you were cute, and asked me if we had any vaseline. I told him it was in the bathroom. Be strong honey. I love you too!!"

My girlfriend invited me to her house. I found her sister alone in the house, she was unbelievably sexy and whispered in my ear: “I have feelings for you, shall we have sex?”, I immediately turned around and walked to the front door to go to my car. I found my girlfriend standing there, she hugged me and said: “You’ve won my trust.”

This does NOT happen. Dunno where you got that idea but it's completely wrong. Andesite patrollers stay on Andesite. The only patrollers who use the tram are those stationed in the Bowl (and only when the tram line is short and this requires permission from the summit. Quite often this is done on days when the terrain needs work such as days when the runout for the big/crons is full of death cookies from control work and summit will send patrol from the bowl to go stomp out the clumps) and those on shedhorn to get to their posting station when sheddy and dakota are closed.

You guys can bitch about the fast pass all day long but in the end...they've made the decision and are not going to go back on it.

A guy walks into a pharmacy and tells the pharmacist "I need some birth control for my 12 year old daughter." The pharmacist replies, "your 12 year old daughter! Is she sexually active?" The guy says "well I wouldn't really call her sexually active, she's just like her mom she just kinda lays there."

One evening a little girl walked past her parents' bedroom and saw them having sex. "Daddy, what are you doing to Mommy?" she asked. "Don't worry sweetie," the father replied, "I'm just planting you a baby sister." The next evening when the father arrived home, he found his little girl sitting on the doorstep, crying. "Whats wrong, honey?" he asked. "Remember how you planted me a baby sister last night?" she said sobbing. "Well, when the mailman was here today, he ate her."

[senior researcher]

[Bunion 2020]

How about this, Tim wins the Big Sky pass for the best joke and Jonny C wins a MLB pass for the most obtuse joke.
