WOOT WOOT! Nukin' in Missoula

[S_jenks]

Yeah, with Giantfuckface on the way in, no way are there going to be state-wide shutdown orders this winter.

I am not so sure about why everyone is concerned about the pass pickup. I mean, we all go to Costco and the grocery store, right? I am betting the line forms outside. I, for one, will be there early.

Basically no other option except to rise and shine before the rest.

I fucking hate lines. HATE THEM.

At least this means I'll still be able to enjoy bloodies on the deck this season.

Anyone skiing this weekend? Worth it to head to lookout to scratch the itch? Saw some insta footage of someone at Lolo recently, but man it's gotta be a mine field with downed timber and the thin snowpack....

[RootSkier]

I was on misery sticks at Lolo last weekend. Zero chance I would try to make a turn up there right now.

Thanks for confirming.

Maybe I'll tool up there for my pass. Haven't driven the new (to me) Suby on the Bowl road yet.

Surprisingly organized pass pick-up. Two lines, signs with social distancing guidelines and markers, etc. I got in and out before the official 11 am opening so I am not sure what it was like later when lots of people showed up, but I am impressed with the effort. They also have a very cute new little standalone ticket house/window on the left across from the ski patrol entrance, near the sponsor board.

Dude, I showed up at like 11:30 and stood there like a dickhead for 15 minutes when I finally got near the front because it didn't occur to anyone to keep both lines moving while 1 dude was having whatever problems. Like when you get on the wrong line at the grocery store and now you're stuck behind an old lady writing a check.
Then ran down the hill so I didn't break my ass.
It's like they were trying to get shut down AND sued for slip and fall.
Are they even trying to open and stay open this year? They have mad 0 snow around the bottom. Idiots.

[stuckathuntermtn]

Sorry if I sound negative. I typically expect goods and services in exchange for my money.

Also everything sucks right now.

[2FUNKY]

Well aren’t you a ray of fucking sunshine....

[stuckathuntermtn]

I really am not lately. And it's not just the lack of snow.
Thanks for checking in.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you get things sorted.
You bet, lurk here often....

[Norseman]

Stood there like a dickhead...


I'm using that again some time.

Sup funky. Lurking is ok

It's mostly stuff that's out of my control, so, great, woohoo.

Ooh ooh. My flatmate was put on the schedule for getting ready Thursday and opening Friday. Hopefully no downloading. Giggity giggity

[RootSkier]

That's cool. Hard to see how there won't be downloading. Sunrise bowl appeared to be 95% grass on Saturday.

Yeah but that remaining 5% is going to ski like heaven.

[stuckathuntermtn]

That's why I don't understand why they're not making snow

[stuckathuntermtn]

Stuart Mountain Snotel shows 30"...

Web cam showed a groomer headed up Sunrise bowl at 8am (yesterday? )

When they told him this (monday?) they were probably being optimistic this storm would do more.... Hard to believe there opening friday....

[coldfoot]

It's definitely a long commute to kind of a goat farm, but Lookout skied pretty good today for what it is. Max lift line was maybe 45 seconds. felt good to push some fresh snow for sure.

[stuckathuntermtn]

Need some fucking snow. This is bullshit.

[RootSkier]

Any word from your roommate, stuck?

It's a no-go for this weekend
We're off to Lookout early, where the pass squeezes out all the moisture. Probably have luke warm soup in the parking lot again, but maybe I can remember beer this time.
