TR; this last weekend at Bridger

[powfiend]

The Ridge was $$$ today! Got to bridger at 840 and practically noone was there, were a few people by noon when i was taking off but still, i guess everyone is over skiing by now. Sometimes a great notion was sick, had a few other good laps up high in the fingers befor i had to catch a flight back to cali. Was deffently my best day in montana this season. tahoes gonna be better tomarrow though.

3.31.10 slushmans & saddle shralpage...

[hick]

Im surprised so many made it out to saddle with the avalanche on argentina bowl sticking out like a sore thumb, on the ride up. be safe boys...

What could possibly go wrong?

[tone capone]

So thankful for this storm. The last three days were some of the best of the season for me. Couldn't be happier with the weather and the conditions the last couple days. Gonna throw up some pics when I get around to it. 100% stoked.

Heard today was good. Anyone else headed up for the early morning easter service tomorrow? Or skiing tomorrow? See you up there!

[Aenigma]

Today might have been the best day I have been up this season...but take that with a grain of salt, because I haven't really been getting after it this year. I'll be up tomorrow afternoon, probably doing a hike out to Wolverine at the end of the day.

[bushman]

Talked to junior today. he said he did'nt know it snowed, fuck I could kicked him in the nuts,son of a bitch I could have sent him to fuckin Southern Miss. Fuck I hate being old.

Today was most excellent and definitely in my top 5 days of the year as well. I hadn't really had that much fun over on slushy yet this year, until today; it totally redeemed itself.

Tomorrow should be super fun as well. Way to go out w/ a bang BB!

[tone capone]

Wow, such a great week last week, I missed today, but the last 3 were great. Got to ski alot of my favorite stuff and new stuff too. Got a ton of pics, mostly sidecountry, but I think I'll start a new thread.

Here is a cool sequence of my buddy Troy's first run down Northwest direct. He came in a little hot and it wasn't pow, but he ripped out of it Bridger Style:















The old ski hill was looking mighty fine on Wednesday.

to current & future grom-wranglers:
please don't schedule your kids birthday party for the middle of the day on the last weekend of bb liftserved.../grumpypants parenting rant

left town noonish, on slshmns by 1ish, 3footballfields later I had happypants again...

thought weds was best of season on slushies but yesterday's colder, deeper snow makes it neck&neck, what a last week fo realz yo

[tone capone]

I'm jealous, I didn't make slushmans yesterday or Wednesday. Would have like to hit some stuff over there when it was that good. We'll have to work for it now, but that could be even better.

And just as a courtesy note, if you have been skiing out beyond the ropes over there, never underestimate the stupidity of your fellow humans. I just can not believe what people do out there. Simply would not believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes. This is not the first time I have seen this move, and I am begging to wonder if it's the same idiots.

From the other day:



Today, 4/4/10

Fucking brilliant, whoever put that one in. Stay on yer toes fellas, probly a good idea to watch your back (and front) at all times for idiots like this before you drop in. I mean, not to be the sidecountry police or anything, but are you serious?

[butterscotch]

^^^ wow. that is impressive.

and just a few more words on Saturday's sickness: hit the top of PK as Schlasman's opened. Got in 3 laps before anyone figured out it was open. Best turns I've ever had over there. Super deep.

Still soft early this morning too. Pretty fukkin cold for April, though.

Couple pics --
"arsty" tree shot:


deep turns for the lady friend:

Dear Bridger Bowl,

Thanks for not making me regret driving 12 hours across flat prairie land and blowing off school for a week. Also, thanks to all the locals, bartenders, patrol, lifties, and waiters/waitresses. You folks are across the board the nicest, most down to earth people of any "resort" I've ever been to.

xoxo,

- FNG

There was a patroller out in the sun watching people ski Saddle because he didn't want to miss it slide this time.

Am I a bad person if I laughed when I saw the traverse all the way across Argentina?

[tone capone]

Laughter and public ridicule are encouraged... Better now than during the inevitable multiple body recovery. Keep that shit in Mundy's bowl where you're only gonna slide over slanted rocks on your way to your 7 gay flat bowl turns.

Here's a fun one for ya:

^^

that's ill, man would I like to be in his shoes.

said goodbye to BB as a family for the season today, tears were shed by more than one and some by those of us old enough that they should have long ago outgrown such foolishness but as the years go by and time seems to slip away at an ever increasing speed one can't help but try and savor and linger on the special moments just a bit.

cheers to a great year all ya BB peeps; what's the new chair gonna be called and what're ya gonna charge me for one of the old ones? I need a front porch swing!

Oh yeah, I'm gettin LAST LAST chair on Bridger ya bitches!!

[Sirshredalot]

Soon to be Mrs. Shred and I need a riblet porch swing so bad, L-B - heck, I'd even settle for Deer Park.

That would make a mighty fine wedding present from our former boss, you know?

Ahh shoot, now you're getting me all misty-eyed over here.
