Fun day yesterday on the yo-yo sticks.


I’m too tired for the early ups today doing the slow roll to Slowdown.

They were calling for up to 36 a couple days ago at Showdown. Looks like that wasn’t too far off!

What an epic cycle of skiing it has been. Got to hit the Tone Capone air yesterday which is always a treat. Just big enough to make you nervous and I couldn’t tell if the landing was sloughed out or not. But I took a tip from the kids, yelled let’s fucking go, made a turn in the most beautiful spine pow slarving towards the air. Point it off the prow to one o’clock and sink gently into a beautiful untouched bed of feathers. YES!!

I wish I could ski like that. Awesome.

Hoping for some pointers on big sky, taking a friend who is a beginner/intermediate skier (mostly parallel, around level 4-5). Hes wanting to tackle steeper slopes but stay on groomed terrain - Any suggestions for areas to target? Bonus points if I can peel off and hit something more challenging then easily rejoin him again.

They rate some slopes "double blue" now if they have steeper sections. Those would probably fit the bill for your buddy. Most have glades or single blacks right next door and you can meet at the bottom. Pick up a trail map and I don't think you'll find any shortage of terrain to explore. The Ramcharger lift is a great place to start.

Yep. Another good option is to have your buddy ski Elk Park groomer (long and plenty of short steeper sections) while you skis into South America runs (peru/bolivia/etc). Both options take you to Thunderwolf chair.

Same goes for various combos on the Moonlight side. You really can't go wrong.

Much appreciated guys, getting pretty stoked seeing the recent snow totals!

[swimmy]

Today was unreal. Marx was fantastic but we were trenching down Liberty. Patroller said it was his best Liberty lap ever.

On our last lap the light got decent and we scored a pretty cool shot.

I’ll try and post up some more stoke later...but what an epic few weeks of skiing.

[byates1]

God damn bruh

[Trackhead]

It’s almost like we live in Utah

[elesquiador]

My best morning of what has been a very good 2025 so far. 1st lap Marx was untracked, and it wasn't even the best run of the day. Liberty was bottomless.

Great shot, Swimmy.

What a day, x3 on Liberty, so deep.

[toastybroski]

Showdown was the deepest powder I have ever skied today.

[byates1]

Sickness!

[swimmy]

I’d be on constant thin ice at work if we always had snow like this.

Great shot, Swimmy.

Hell yeah dude!

Oh and I probably should mention that elesquiador is the skier in the shot. Dudes a ripper.

What a day, x3 on Liberty, so deep.

Heck yeah, glad you got to play in that!

Showdown was the deepest powder I have ever skied today.

Heck yeah! Did you crush it?

Sickness!

Dude, aren’t you around now?

[Shredeagle]

Nice work boys.

Spent the day skiing with my oldest one. Pretty lucky to ski at Bridger Bowl. Where else can you do a Joes Jungle>Nasal Cavity and watch your kid backflip a cool spine line, make an exposed turn above the gnar and then send it into a giant slough pile? Or Northwest>Bradleys skiing gnar, sidestepping through old growth and chilling in the woods skiing pow. Probably remember that day forever.

Oh. And BobbyBill. I blew the shot!!!

Damn. Great shots you guys!

A few more inches overnight on the southside. Just the cherry on top.

Responsibilities can wait until the afternoon.

Today I learned that my double black BSR pass includes 25 individual tram "rides", not 25 tram "days".

As a weekend and bank holiday warrior, I was stoked at what I thought was a perfect pass option to get me through the season.

I could have sworn it was tram days. Damn it.
