TR; this last weekend at Bridger

**tone capone** · 02-27-2009, 08:49 AM

Are you guys gonna build a terrain park out there now?

**lobstahmeatwad** · 02-27-2009, 04:04 PM

wow!

that was good. except for the entire town there. I was ok with it because I have been sick and haven't been able to ski.

No stoke just padding my post count.
My homemades slayed it.

**Jumper Bones** · 02-27-2009, 04:10 PM

Yeah that sure was fun, but did the town close and relocate today? Shiiiiiit. I never got off the DP chair, lines at Bridger and PK were too long to make it worth it...

Another super Schlasman's no-show

Like it's going to be any less of a shit-show/feeding frenzy tomorrow...

**lobstahmeatwad** · 02-27-2009, 04:18 PM

no one works on fri. anyway in this town. Oh, except for me posting from work.. hehe

Nope, a total shit-show over there tomorrow, for sure. But if you know where the shit-show is, you just go the other way ...

EDIT: I also saw the comment about C winning the freeride. He's good shit - no punk attitude on that one.

**workinforturns** · 02-27-2009, 11:23 PM

did some skiing today. It was the best day of the year for me at least.

for layindowncarves too

It truly was that good

**thaddeusmt** · 02-28-2009, 03:20 PM

has winter returned to Bridger?? (*please please please*)
well, it did for a day at least.

**rdennhs** · 02-28-2009, 04:03 PM

sick pictures, 15 days until I'm out there....hope it continues to snow.

**tone capone** · 03-01-2009, 02:27 AM

Here's a few from today's craziness: People getting after it up there!

Just a teaser, more tomorrow.

I told Bridger Bro, "You better get something bright, or were not gonna get paid" So he went to the thrift store and threw away six bucks on these purple tranny pants. Way to go buddy.

Dissecting the spines:

Are those water skis? Bridger Bro does the anti noodle:

One Sexy bitch:

P nut's buddy found the deepest turn of the year:

To be continued.

(HEY, is it fair that the daily video guy gets photo of the day? I thought he was supposed to be behind the lens!)

**Aussie_ripper** · 03-01-2009, 11:32 AM

You. All. Suck. Friday classes were a whole bunch of fun. Puking all Saturday cause I can't handle my booze was also fun. Anyone headed out today? I'll be on the ridge I spose, ask for change.

**tone capone** · 03-01-2009, 03:18 PM

Puking all Saturday cause I can't handle my booze was also fun.

Rough. You should have waited till Saturday night to get wasted and order Pizza, like everyone else in town did!

Here are some more from Saturday.

Ryan gets deep:

P nut finds a bush to poke:

P nut at work for the camera:

Bridger Bro finds fresh in the afternoon:

and gratuitously slarves it up:

Sweet goodness it was!

It's getting manky in here!

a soft spot:

That was the most incredible display of powder hedonism I have ever witnessed in my life up there on Saturday. Unreal.
Good thing we tracked it all out yesterday, cause it's all manked up now!

I guess that falls under the "other duties as assigned by Marketing Director" clause!

Here are a couple more from Saturday's bluebird pow fest and one from Friday morning...what a great couple of days of skiing...looks like Spring for a couple of days then hopefully more Winter.

**tone capone** · 03-02-2009, 12:05 PM

Those are money Rob. Thanks for sharing. Hope you didn't get wounded in the battle there at the rope!

**pnut** · 03-03-2009, 10:50 AM

nice pictures you guys. Anybody get out and enjoy the corn skiing yesterday? It was awesome.

**Pancakes** · 03-03-2009, 11:25 AM

I was there Saturday. The chaotic mob proves that there are no friends on a powder day. It was worth it, and Saddle Peak was in mighty fine condition. I just wish I had been there Friday too.

**mtnjam** · 03-03-2009, 12:47 PM

Thursday and Friday were really that good...

Thursday was getting really fun near the end of the day when the storm started to kick up and Friday morning standing in line like cattle in a corral, but really fun day otherwise.

I think the crowd at the lower gate was a little more manageable than the scene at the top!

A nice little shot of 4 inches of 19% snow this morning...was real nice on the High T early. A struggle to return to the base on the glue like surface below mid mountain at 11:00 am. Sounds like the long range forecast might bode well later this week and early next...we'll see...think Snow!

**pnut** · 03-03-2009, 02:23 PM

The line up Saturday was crazy! I had the hole shot coming out of the top gate and starting traversing and came to a log and jumped it - the landing was dirt and I got my pole stuck in the dirt and I kept going. Shit. I turned around to get it but I had to wait for about 100 people behind me to jump off the log - with lots of scared wild looks on their faces. So I couldn't get the pole for quite a while - eventually a couple of people crashed in the landing bringing the line to a halt, and one of them got the pole for me.

Sounds EXACTLY like what we were rocking at the Bowl.

**tone capone** · 03-03-2009, 02:47 PM

I was seriously ready to die at the lineup. It's every man for himself if you are part of that situation, unless you want to wait for the first wave to clear and get like 1000th chair on a day like that. If you are a chill person, then you probably don't want to deal with the rope drop frenzy. If you are there in line then prepare for war. I thought for a second people might be civilized, but I quickly realized that I had to throw edges and elbows like everyone else! (Or cause a pileup) I seriously thought that Mild-Mannered-Wille was going to get trampled along with his $$$$$$$$$ video cam, but apparently he beat people off with that thing or something. Good work!

**mtcham** · 03-03-2009, 02:56 PM

I've never met a liftline I couldn't tolerate at Bridger until Saturday. Was very happy I had brought my skins.

**juanbendedknee** · 03-03-2009, 04:26 PM

Powder Frenzy was mad today with 4" of new slush, I felt like I had klister on my bases. Must have been 100 people on the hill at 11.

I'm sort of glad I worked Saturday. People act crazy on a pow day at BB even in decent snow years.

Volkl and K2 had some of their new skis out for testing only for the shop scene. Had a chance to fondle the new Gots, wowza!
