2012 Montana Conditions, Stoke and Whatev Thread

I was the old fat guy in orange that you saw on Lobo. Nice air on your part ! The other old fart I was with had been making Game of Gnar jokes all day and we commented "That guy really is the best skier on the mountain" when you went sailing by in mid-air.

Later in the day you saw us in the bowl. Your buddy was waiting for you and your lady on the traverse and we pased him and got ahead of you.

The only next logical step is a ski-off. Maybe we can do a three way with Climber Joe since he threw down the gauntlet last year.

But seriously, we should get a SW MT maggot meet-up going at some point this year; you, Bunion, Climber Joe, Tone Capone, Lexi-Belle, Z, nateski, totaliboard and the rest of the beaters.

Also, some landscape pr0n from Thanksgiving weekend when I was a total tourist and took the Tram up for the view.



Your Tetons, I can see them:





In other news, I'm curious to hear how Bridger is skiing today. I think I can get away for a few hours tomorrow.

[Bobcat Sig]

Welp ... the snow Bridger reported today was certainly less than what was on the hill. Fuckin' good times were had by all.

[nateski]

fully down for a mag meetup. maybe after a few weeks so i have some coin for booze

No wrong could be done by anyone. Absolutely silly up there today and yesterday.

[Z]

Wow. That was my first day riding lifts at Bridger yesterday. Could certainly get used to that.

My guess is yesterday was the acid test for the new lift layout. How were the lines?

Dunno, didn't make it over the North side.

Lines weren't that bad as everyone seemed to be lined up at the top of PK or along the South Boundary, waiting the Slushman's rope drop.

And what's a thread without a bit more stoke?

Heading to Pig Sty for a couple days to visit my sister and pick up some beer to bootleg back to the promise land. Probably ski saturday.

Anyone around want to take a couple laps or grab a beer let me know.

Absolutely. I'll be there both days. Let's do it.

If you have time, stop by Lone Peak Brewing and grab a pint of their Steep n' Deep. Tasty.

[Bunion 2020]

I have an EMT class on Sat. but will be sliding on Sunday.

Oh man I'm the wrong person to ask. We went to slushman's just before noon but the line was silly. One and done. Didn't feel like lining up there when the ridge was so good, which turned out to be a good call. I am just a bit shocked to have so little competition for lines off the ridge first thing in the AM. Only line I waited in all day besides 1 run at slushman's was a slow hike first thing up to the ridge.

Hope you're ready to fall in love with the place.

I grew up skiing there, age 3 to 24, and miss it just about every day. Some great folks up there, too.

Glad you're stoked.

Most times when they open everything it's just like that, busy on the bootpack for an hour or so then big line up on slushmans. Pretty sweet they have the staff to get everything goin on the busy days. The lineup on Slushmans is well worth it though when Saddle and everything is in play and you can take some longer walks and longer runs.

And hey, what is this clusterfuck? Somebody give some love to the ole' Bridger Thread!

If that's the case, you'll find me lapping the ridge on pow days! Skied slushman's all day yesterday, certainly good vert over there. Catch ya for some runs today?

[Harry]

MPPG, I PM'd you my digits. I am up for drinking and/or skiing.

Although as witnessed last weekend by Bobcat Sig I suck at skiing (even though my beater ass DID snake his line in the bowl...). I suck less at drinking...

I'll say it at the risk of drawing some ire ... do we really need two threads for our little neck of the woods? Several have tried to make the Bridger thread all things SW MT and caught a ton of shit for it. In the end, we are all one big, happy, ski family. Which is why I started this thread. We can share no matter your allegiance; Bridger, Big Sky, Dark Side of the Moon or the vast backcountry.

[CallMeAl]

There's a great holiday leisure party tonight at the Eagles Lodge in Bozeman. Good music, good beer, good times. Shady characters welcome. Holiday attire encouraged.

[tone capone]

No worries Bobcat, just think it's funny how things have gone full circle. Regardless I'll have to get back to posting some stoke.... First priorities though, gotta get some meat back on these old chicken legs!

[Harry]

Had a great afternoon cruising around the mountain with My Pet Powder Goat !

[Z]

What a week at BB. Tons of good peeps around skiing. Pretty sure on Friday there were maybe 15 people lapping slushmans. Awesome.

Finally took my camera out of my pocket yesterday.

hanger!

sick shots
@Z- ramp?

[BigMontana]

Snowbowl should get final approval to expand sometime very soon, they progressed one more step and there is only one last hearing left, for people to re state concerns they already had.

It's looking good for the future of the bowl.

@Z- ramp?

yup! Met a stump out of nowhere near the top. Skiing so well everywhere but still sharks in the water for sure.

MT those pictures are killer!
