TR; this last weekend at Bridger

[soulturn]

Dang that landing off dirty martini looks flatt. Anybody know if riders are allowed at this years Gully Runoff?

[monkeywrenchMoose]

I was riding up pierre's lift around 10 am on Tuesday and witnessed someone absolutely mob down dry martini lookers left of 6th grade and toss a 40ft + front flip off of the big cliff at the bottom, riding away pretty damn clean. Hands down the most rediculous line I have seen in 10 years of riding bridger, anyone claiming it? Head cam footage has to be unreal.

I always looked at that line and tried to memorize it thinking it would be my alternative to 6th grade if I ever got lost on D route. Here is my interpretation:

[NWFlow]

Flow, I'm not sincerely picking on anybody, just being facetious, and then thinking out loud. I really don't care how the next guy skis, so long as he's having fun!

and whoa, jaws is almost unrecognizable.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound overly aggressive - guess I just took it a little too seriously and I do like vidguy.

Dang that landing off dirty martini looks flatt.

For sure, but so aesthetic otherwise, probly not the best idea 99% of the time. I wonder if you took it on the skier's right edge and not too big if that's the best possible landing? Telemarc? I don't know. All I know are 10 to 20 footers at best so whatever. I do know Single took that thing big last year and had some "issues" afterwards.



Where are you these days dude?

[soulturn]

MLB most of the time. Some darkside stoke for ya Tone.

I always looked at that line and tried to memorize it thinking it would be my alternative to 6th grade if I ever got lost on D route. Here is my interpretation:

Maybe Tony D? Is he still around? Joe, what say you?

[baseWeldr]

yes tony D still around...could be him
dunno the younger huckster crowd 2well
woulda thought shane, carson, tele-guy matt-
note the "eldr" part of my moniker, Im gittin crusty yo!

/look4 snow in next 2wks- weldrFam in hawaii...

[axelkeitz]

the above mentioned line would be sick!


rally'd this line on Tues. afternoon


waist deep the entire length. im not man enough to air the 40+ footer to the skiers right, not to mention i have bad knees and that landing is about 15 degrees.... so i usually opt for the shallower left. one of my favorite lines on the ridge, that and the third virtue oh yea and two way. theres just so many! GoD I lOvE bRiDgEr

[tone capone]

Nice dude^^^. I guess thats a steeper landing on that side? Hows the takeoff, are there snowsnakes? That's why I love this place, there is even a bunch of ways to ski the lines within the lines.

[axelkeitz]

^^ yea tone, that landing is steeper unless you air the fuck out of it plus the theres lots of sluff makes for a super soft landing. the take off reminds me of Kanzler's..... a little peppered but if you pick the right spot its awesome.

[tone capone]

Sweet thanks dude, that sounds alot more reasonable that going 50 feet into a hole. I don't need to do that to myself.

a little peppered but if you pick the right spot its awesome.

That skiers left side always looked a little snaky to me, but fuck it, I'll have to find that right spot cause I'm going for it next year with the new knee. Then maybe I can work on my pro call-out and becoming the best skier on the mountain!

[guano]

if you hit er far skiers right, you can catch the minor slough pile coming out of the trees there..and hit it with speed. found that out last year

[mtcham]

Made some runs with my friend Ryan today. So great to see him flying down the slopes!!!

Ryan

[FreakofSnow]

Whats the word on conditions after today? Was planning a trip down this week and ski Tues - Saturday. Did she get wind and sun fucked?

[butterscotch]

^^^ the debris in mtcham's pics should give you a good idea. every upper mtn lift except PK shut down on Saturday afternoon for wind. yesterday the wind was still blowing, but there really wasn't any more snow to move around. the sun didn't do too much damage as the winds and occasional cloud cover kept things under control. looks like there's some precip in the forecast, keep your fingers crossed...

[pnut]

Your the guy that wrote the book on skiing Bridger Bowl. You should have it all figured out already.
