TR; this last weekend at Bridger

**Sirshredalot** · 01-17-2008, 05:48 PM

I'll be there tomorrow all day long, but probably will have to work later in the day. I'm planning on a 9 o'clock hike, though.

**Skipig25** · 01-17-2008, 07:55 PM

class tomorrow.

I was up there today from 10-close, and I have to say, it didn't suck.

Erik and I'll be up there probably slaying the trees and hiking if the ridge/ fingers are open.
I'm skippin back to town at 1.

**single** · 01-17-2008, 11:37 PM

I will be up there with the little sister tomorrow. Probably take a hike or two up Fingers before it gets too crowded. Look for hellbents with no brakes.

**Jumper Bones** · 01-18-2008, 03:13 PM

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

That was fun.

Until I stood in liftline, anyway.

**Aenigma** · 01-18-2008, 03:21 PM

Hey, I guess you guys missed the memo.

No skiing until I can go too.

**Jumper Bones** · 01-18-2008, 06:14 PM

Yeah, I was expecting crowds, but not quite that bad. More than last week for sure!

Seemed like every college douchenozzle decided to come out and play after class too, not that I ever was one myself...

Didn't quite help that the double-penetrator was only running every other chair either. Don't wanna break the new gearbox!

**baseWeldr** · 01-19-2008, 09:07 AM

lets see, just about 8am your time, another 10" last night for 30 in 3days...
best be on yer way up not reading this
might there be less hordes than yesterday? college kids prolly gut drunked up celebrating their powday liftline steeze...

seen much slackcountry activity? prob haven't seen much at all cuz its too busy dumpin right

**Skipig25** · 01-19-2008, 10:02 AM

skipped yesterday figuring crowds would be nuts. and I had class. heading up in 5 mins, 11" new, should be good.

**mtcham** · 01-20-2008, 12:57 AM

Hope the faceshots were as good on the other side of the Canyon at BB.

BB Ridgekid resting his knees today.

**single** · 01-20-2008, 05:51 PM

Nice. Where is that?

It is supposed to be -2 tomorrow for the high. Thatll keep all the gapers away.

**single** · 01-20-2008, 08:20 PM

Sweet. Bet it was soft. Nice work.

**Aenigma** · 01-20-2008, 09:12 PM

Widowmaker is a ballsy hit, that picture doesn't really do justice as to how crazy looking it is from the top.

**single** · 01-20-2008, 09:25 PM

Yeah, my buddy hit it on one of the bigger days earlier this year. Sketchy ass straightline off of a spine covered with rocks to a 30+ foot cliff. The good thing about it though, is that it doesnt really get skiied unless you do the drop.

**BigDumbRedhead** · 01-20-2008, 09:56 PM

MT, I'm glad you were a bit premature with the pic as that was not my most graceful effort. A little more snow on the take off runway and that thing will be titties!

Only took one pic over the past 3 days. It seems like my ability to work the digicam has gotten worse. BDR on a hike, pic is a little early, but you get a general idea of what's going on.

That is a super fun line. First turns of the day friday found me there also (before escaping the crowds). Looks like you guys hit it with some wicked flat light, good on you!

MT taking pictures is like..............we'll.........he just don't do it

**XtrPickels** · 01-23-2008, 01:38 PM

Bridger was FKNA good today.
Hopefully lexi will get some pictures up later.

Choking in the 4th. Untouched NW Passage. Sunny skis. So Stoked.

**pnut** · 01-23-2008, 02:46 PM

fuck you guys, your sunny skies and that beautiful looking snow. Could just about blow if off the windshield this morning.

Was the d route open?

**XtrPickels** · 01-23-2008, 04:09 PM

Uh, I actually blew it off my car door so I wouldn't get any inside...

D route was said to be closed when we left... NW passage may or may not have been open, depended what sign you looked at.

No, to D route.

MT- finally figured out who you and BDR are from your pics. I was right behind you guys heading North this morning on the bootpack/sidestep. You were hiking in some sort of funky buttondown shirt over a longsleeve right?

**BigDumbRedhead** · 01-23-2008, 08:36 PM

Yeah. It was RAD AS FUCK today. That's the first pow day in a while at BB that the lift lines weren't a fuckin disaster. I guess after the 50" or so last week, folks didn't get too excited about 8" over night. So that was nice. D Route tomorrow!

**peck257** · 01-23-2008, 08:41 PM

one word, "sick" and 8 more last night with more in the forcast "sicker"

**Lexi-Bell** · 01-23-2008, 09:08 PM

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Hey Xtra how'd you guys get into NW?

Here's a few ya'll might dig on:

NF in Super

NF bottom of Super.

2:30 pm white room

I heart BB

So we lapped it, blame us?

Praxis skis are fun

Nice to see ya'lls Workin, Lobstah, Xtra, and a glimpse of Single.

MT we must have been right behind you in the WP's cause that shit was free canvas style. Got to ski so many fun lines including Super, Hidden, the meadow (was DEEP), buncha High T's, yadda-yadda. Skied bell to bell and have to rank today as one of the most FUN I can remember in a while, smiles all around.

CHEERS!!
