TR; this last weekend at Bridger

[Hi Fi]

x3.

I'm sure we'd at least recognize most of each other. "oh... you're that guy" type thing.

I know I don't have any tgr history or impressive post count, but I'm up there all the time just the same. Be stoked to meet one or more of you dudes up there for some turns.

Me: black coat, grey vest thing, white gloves. Alpine on Megawatts, tele on supermojos w/ red garmonts.

Let's go!

Let's go!

You alpine on Megawatts and Tele on Supermojo's?
Do you ever find your bindings in counseling or oogling each other's significant others?

[tone capone]

Looks like Summit from Colorado might me joining us! Lets all make sure to show him around.

Single, gone for the season? Hope it dumps for real here for ya soon.

I wear a red jacket and ski on green b-squads. Occasional gaperiffic form is evident from a great distance when there's no pow!

[Jumper Bones]

I have an obnoxious K2 fetish. Usually on Kahunas, or Pontoons, or Pistols, or Pubic Enemas. Blue arcteryx jacket, dark grey pantalones. Might make up some of my own 'got change' stickers soon too...something better than the typical black stuff.

The supermojos had their turn as an alpine rig (too short but ok for tele). Every year there's a bunch of bumping and banging coming from the ski closet right around halloween, then I open it to find bindings changed around. I know I'm not alone with this wife swapping business... you're right man they get jealous for each other.

[Hi Fi]

Looks like the mag ski lineup is JJ's, EHP's, green B-Squads, (blue?) Kahunas, and Megawatts to start. Those all stand out from the crowd so it shouldn't be too hard to spot a mutha from the lift. I'll be lookin from the new lift if its open.

[jeremiahyawnson]

You maggots can find me easily as I have a bright ass red jacket, grey pants, white helmet, and will be riding pro riders (probably XXL's w/ dukes). Oh and I'm the kid that gets really out of control towards the end of the day and slides into trees because I've found it to be the easiest way to come to a stop when your legs feel like goo.

[fez]

im riding the old school big daddys with red soly 914 binders. wearing all grey with a black helmet.

easy to spot for the next few days because im the guy skiing with one pole. i need to figure out my wrist brace so i can carry my other pole. i feel like im a bull rider out there chucking one hand up over my head. really need to get that shit worked out.

[Snowbeaver]

mine as well pipe up, as I'm finally gathering my bearings on the mountain - black/gray jacket, gray helmet, white gogs, green rossi b4's - same look as tone's squads. Not gonna lie, tone, saw some of your pics and noticed you had either b4's or squads so i've been keeping an eye out for people riding on 'em. i'll be out tomorrow and friday for sure, took today off because the shin bang bruise hasnt quite gone away yet. already met one mag up there - just fucking yell or throw something at me. jumper, would be sweet if you made some stickers - a somehow uniquely bridger "change" sticker would make it easy to ID the maggot crew there.

[stuckathuntermtn]

Tone, let me know when you go down again. I have my pass at MLB, again, and am down there at least once a week.

X2...I'm finally starting to get a feel for the inbounds stuff but have yet to leave the gates since I can't seem to find any partners. It would be great to find a partner or two to start exploring Schlasman's and the Ridge.

I'm on older black gotamas/dukes or BD megawatts on deeper days, red jacket and grey pants. Anyone please give a holler if you see me.

I'd be absolutely lying if I said some of the ridge lines don't make me pee my pants a teeny bit, but I'm game for a lot of it and would love to meet more of the Bozeman contingent.

Last year you coulda added Bro's, mucho explosives, Praxis and Lotus 138's.
Not a hard group to figure out.

[lobstahmeatwad]

I think we all know I am the out of control douche telewacking on brototypes, one red base and one blue usually doing unintentional summer salts at high speed..
Red arcteyx jacket and black helmet with mt fish co. and bomber tele stickers.
I will also be riding my own creations, tough to miss apparently, 138 knockoffs ratafaried one million %.

[fez]

Heh I think I rode the chair w/ you the other day.

Fez back @ BB? SWEET!

yep i'm back. and damn if i didnt realize how much i missed the place until i got back.

[tone capone]

The new terrain is skiing pretty good. Good coverage in a lot of areas, fun packed snow, some wind drifted fresh today, and it's staying reasonably smooth down low. Nice it hasn't melted down yet.

I think it will ski pretty good on the next pow day.

Edit:

Christmas day was lots of fun. With the exception of the No Game traverse, the new lift served terrain is second to none, IMHO.

Lots of long, sustained, humbling pitches! Skiing nice where it's packing in, so stoked for a pow day there.

When it finally goes off, gapers on the No Game Traverse beware my sluff!

A crude rendering of what I'm talking about.



The No Game traverses go well below the bottom of this picture. I talked to a new patroller about making one out of the four that turn into like 50 and he totally agreed and said he would bring it up in their meeting. He was like "Why ruin the best fall line north facing pow stash on the ridge with all those traverses." Thank you sir!

And not for nothing, those taking the No Game traverse from the top of the lift are killing 600' vert of quality terrain before they even make their first turn.

[Hi Fi]

Christmas day was lots of fun.

Just as a friendly holiday reminder, the flatlanders are beginning to come out in full force. Definitely had to take a couple evasive maneuvers to avoid erratic jeans-clad darters today. Bridger skiers follow the fall line (mostly), while holiday tourons zig and zag, making cross-slope turns just below the fast rollovers... remember?

Don't assume predictable behavior! Merry Xmas and lets hope this comes true:
"Tonight: Snow. Steady temperature around 5. Wind chill values as low as -13. Northwest wind between 9 and 13 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of 5 to 9 inches possible."

[XtrPickels]

Todays video of the day was sweet.
Cameraman had some fun lines w. POV helmet cam.

[single]

Its pukin at my house right now. If there is a generous accumulation (more than 10) you can expect to see me in the lift lines tomorrow morning. Orange coat. White helmet. Big bag with a camera.

Agreed.

the flatlanders are beginning to come out in full force.

Lots of rippers up there today, too. People killin' it all over the mountain, it seemed.

[workinforturns]

well, since the last real ski picture was on pg.43, I thought I might throw some stoke from around the Bridgers out here.
johnjohn on dicks

Now about to ride over rocks


Shun skiing over some more rocks


Shun loving the Ridge


Got up to Flathead pass on the 24th

Shun on the testing block


Drew not liking what he sees, but liking what he skis.

Oh, and so does Shun

[Jumper Bones]

Fuck shit jesus. Easily a foot overnight onto a somewhat sketch snowpack...take it easy folks.

Special avalanche warnings/advisories listed today

[lobstahmeatwad]

OMG that was good.
slushies tomorrow?

[fez]

OMG that was good.
slushies tomorrow?

since i had to 'work' today and im sure you greedy gluttonous bastards didnt save me any, i freakin hope slushies goes tomorrow.

[igBand]

Great morning up there today. And definitely not the total shit-show post-Christmas crowds that was expected. If Slushman's opens tomorrow, it should be super-tasty.
