**Lexi-Bell** · 11-18-2006, 11:21 PM

With only four days until the Pig-Sty opener, Lex wants to know...

Who's in for some Ambush and/or Mr.K??

C'mon you gobblers, let's go skiin'!!

**leroy jenkins** · 11-18-2006, 11:50 PM

I will be there.

Any idea how much they'll have open?

**Jumper Bones** · 11-19-2006, 04:12 AM

It doesn't get much better than Mr K.

Actually, ride that trail on an MTB in the summer. It changes your perspective on it a tad.

link up some pics..I'm heading out this Jan for my first Big Sky trip...need some stoke

**montanaskier** · 11-19-2006, 01:32 PM

Don't know for sure, but it will be more than just Mr. K. Look for Crazy Horse under the Gondy as well as a couple or three under swifty. Suppose to continue to be warm and dry until late in the week when a chance for moisture and cooler temps start to return. We need snow BAD!!!!!!

**Lexi-Bell** · 11-21-2006, 10:24 AM

UPDATE:

Mr. K will be the only run open.

My wife knows a gal who's married to a guy who blows snow up there.

Bummer.

**RootSkier** · 11-21-2006, 11:06 AM

What's up with the skintrack?

**Lexi-Bell** · 11-21-2006, 11:12 AM

If you're talking about the z's on the shoulder above the traverse, those are tracks from patrol doing ski cuts.

**HaoXianJhao** · 11-21-2006, 02:10 PM

So Pigsky snow report page says no go for this weekend...does that mean turkey day is no go?

Mr K gonna be open? Anybody know for certain?

Lexi-bell for skiing tomorrow..... question.....met attorney says landowners having some probs with skiiers(worried about getting sued themselves accidents etal) maybe we should hold off? You ever ski up there?

**montanaskier** · 11-21-2006, 02:25 PM

F U C K!!!!!! Holy Shit, I was so fucking ready to make some turns. God Damned El fucking Nino. Fuck! 60 degrees today. Would it please get winter all ready and stop with this shit! No opening until Sat. Dec. 2nd, free week changed til that week. This sucks! WE NEED SNOW BAD!!!!!!

**Lexi-Bell** · 11-21-2006, 02:38 PM

From BS site:

Big Sky has decided for the safety of it's customers and employees that current snow conditions are not conducive to a Thanksgiving weekend opening.

We are pleased to announce that we will extend the privileges for Frequent Sky holders for seven days of free skiing from December 2 through December 8, 2006, conditions permitting.

Bummer, good news for Fez!

Lift accessed Turkey turns at the Pig Sty this year?

**Eleventy** · 11-20-2008, 09:25 PM

Ambush has more rad in it than three Mr. K's and two Safari's put together. You should know that..

LMS FTW!!!

BTW.. nice pics Lexi..

**benDover** · 11-20-2008, 09:29 PM

I heard if you dress up like turkey, you get 1/2 off your lift ticket. Is that true?

**Eleventy** · 11-20-2008, 09:33 PM

Beginning on March 14, the week after Big Sky Country “springs forward” Sunset Saturdays will begin. Sunset Saturdays will extend the hours of operation until 5pm, taking advantage of the extra hour of daylight. A party with live music in the plaza will launch the event.

How about every day after 3/14? Huh? Huh? Am I right?

**nateski** · 11-20-2008, 09:48 PM

word is swifty and triple for turkey day

**DC#1** · 11-20-2008, 10:43 PM

i don't know what you jive turkeys are talking about?! that guy posted a pic looking down MR. K. that shit is insane. Plus Worship on the Mountain takes place on Mr. K. Your not really skiing until you go to worship on the Mountain, first.

**BobbyBill** · 11-20-2008, 10:45 PM

That's a great shot of the Big! Here's one of Hidden....there should be a ski tips photo thread(and there probably already has been one)...I know I've seen a good shot that tone capone posted last year.
