TR; this last weekend at Bridger

[OverTurn]

yesterday afternoon was pretty good as well. snowing real hard after 2pm but it was the tiniest flakes in the world so not much accumulation. still felt like storm skiing though. south bowl was soft in places, found some nice deep sections too. better than i was expecting.

Truth. It always amazes me when it's a mad rush out of the gates of Slushman's for people to try and be the first down Saddle.

& we were milkin out lowangle pow last couple days below wondering if we'd hear the hard slab bustin trees above and how big the rivers of runout debris would be...

Windy allday slshmns never opened heard last bomb after 11, bridger skied buffed and deluxe tho...

bummer tone sounds like you tried again & it ain't happenin?good winter to ride a bike a lot I guess, valley lookin plenty dry...

[KoKopeLLi]

Today I rode my motorcycle up the canyon and right through the BB base area. Lots of people like "wtf is this fool doing up here on his beemer?"

[axebiker]

Look at the bright side - it ain't last year... Try sitting that one out.

Get better - and do it right.

sorry for the cross post from sw montana stoke. but hey. i am lazy when it comes to repeating myself and keyboard interfaces.....

here you find a former new englander turned scandinavian transplant who is going to spend a few days in Bozeman feb26-mar2. had some avy training and skied bunch of off piste in alps.. going to buy some equipment for myself when I am back in the US as the price is much cheaper. how are the options in bozeman area price wise? or should I just search online?

anyone going to be at bridger or big sky during that period feel like having someone tag along (i follow directions well- such as stick right or dont go through there)? i spring for teh 3 B's (beer BBQ and bud) for services rendered.

[baseWeldr]

crashed early sunday never saw the bump lexi-thanks for posting the pic- what its all about right there...fun wknd of kidski

wind has things skiin smooth but temps ystrdy kept it firm, had to seek out the driftlines for the soft. the squall brought in a skiff...

@nsiter-bzmn prices likely jive with what youd find online I bet- we do have a couple decent used outdoor equip type places where you might find something...

[nsiter]

ah cheers. ill keep that in mind

[tone capone]

Wow. 88 inches so far counting October and even that's a stretch. Certainly less than 30 inches each month for 4 months running, what are the statistical chances of that, like 1%?

[montanaskier]

^^75" total @ Keystone and Vail is saying 138 and that counts October and is a stretch. About 35 of that fell in the last 2 weeks....odd winter for everyone.

[butterscotch]

^^^ That can't be right. The cream cheese that fell over the 21st-22nd had to be more than 0.2" of SWE, just on its own.

Even still, the snow totals for the year is troubling. I wonder if the season is even salvageable? Although there season pass were probably pretty strong as last year's snow tends to sell this year's stuff.

Undoubtedly. It seems possible that Bridger will close the season with < 200 inches. I'm already concerned that mountain biking season will turn into fire season instead.

Ha, that is my concern too. Not enough moisture and things dry out real quick. Then, the rivers get close so no fishing and things are hot, dry and terrible. And then ... with all the beetle kill around here, things will burn like white gas.

[baseWeldr]

as of feb1 a yr ago bet I was thru this 20+ times, this yr not once- plenty goin on without sh!t breakin loose all hardlike...
(pic from the coreshot gaffney innerview)

"granpa" of the turk crew was tellin me 380some inches last yr during bridger proper, 150inches after closing
just sayin...
I am more tolerant of hardpack than lots I think, fortunate to be there often, but damn gonna be long hot one this yr...watchit rain all summer...that kinda biblical shiz might make me get god

[Nedanderthal]

Holy cow looking at all of those numbers makes my head spin...regardless of what Bridger has been or what it will be, skiing is skiing. tele matt and I had a good time today shredding the trace that fell last night....it was skiing reall good, slushies was great and D-route had some sloughy goodness that accompanied us all the way down Job 2. I'll let you mathematicians take care of the base calculations, I'll keep skiing my rocks skis.

tele matt finds a jump out of whirlpools


and slarves some spine over off of slushies

[Norseman]

Yo Nedman, good to see you've made it back to home base. Thread needs more shredding and less whining. Any chance you could throw up a pic or two showing us the best of your South American adventures?

[tone capone]

Sounds more like observing than whining, gotta keep things in perspective. Cool to see ya guys holdin it down up there. Anybody wanna go ride bike at Lewis and Clark next week?

[BobbyBill]

'twas a fun run through there last year, base...thanks for showing the way. Sure, it's been a little grim on the snowfall front, but there is some real good fun skiing on some aspects....no lines at Slushie's either I believe Nedanderthal found some fun smooth windbuff in The John on the daily vid if I'm not mistaken. In a twisted way this "herd-thinner" has been enjoyable without all the Powder Puffs...wonder if today's 4" will bring them out...

[Norseman]

You're right. I shouldn't have criticized. You guys have been stayin mostly positive after all.

Good point mildwille, must be pretty quiet up there without the powpuss hoard. Sure do miss the weekday skiin up there.
