It is true about Red Lodge. 30” is an underestimation. I expect the lot to be chock full of 6 plates for the foreseeable future.

We have a Hawkeye bar and a Griz bar. Snow never really starts till March. Time it right, you can leave M play 18 holes in anaconda, and be here by dinner. (My reverse trip in mud season to visit...

Starting to feel desperate, could use a miracle dump. RLM opening on time but barely. One lift one run. Careful out there.

I’ll be interested to see how it plays out in BS. Their operating plan press release seemed to indicate they were going to treat employees different based on vaccine status. Over here in RL we aren’t...

RLM has in years past. Given pretty much all pre 2020 policies are up in the air I'd wait to see. The lots are now private property so they can easily make a change.
With that said there's a...

I don't know what your people are doing in the Valley, but we're already close to tapped out here. Yellowstone county is damn near hospital full. Education and Health Care are getting the back seat...

Man I get that desire. I'm in Skool at RLM and wrestled with it. I ultimately decided I was in a strong enough position to be part of a solution/help do things right it would feel morally wrong to...

You Gallatin guys get this surprise dump last night? 10 inches in the yard, RLM is calling 10 in the base, which means probably closer to 18. Self quarantine in the trees commencing.

Lexi, swimmy ... cool shots. I bet first this this am was awesome. By the time I got there it looked like the Germans were invading on the ridge skyline. Can't imagine what that looks like on a busy...

Good day skiing Bro Bowl. After 50 inches of heavy stuff at home last week that foot-ish of fluff on BBs heavy pack felt very very nice. Finished the day smiling skiing low angle fresh lines over by...

Headed to Helena today, planned on stopping at BB. Never skied with the hordes on a weekday pow day. They ever turn folks back at the lot midweek? Headed over this morning from sleepy RLM.

Dust on firm at RLM felt good. I have 2 guesses on AustinSA: white helmet mustache black k2s bent like a cripple thru the trees or orange jacket with mormin size family of girls in pink helmets. Just...

Indeed we have the potential for a Christmas miracle just like four or five years back. 20% chance of very little snow turned into three feet on the summit. Similar forecast for tomorrow night. ...

VT you in town this winter? And if so, still with the Team?

Indications are front side top down. Nothing official yet AFAIK. We are prepared for a 6-plate invasion so are working hard to get Griz up. Will be up there tomorrow if I hear anything more concrete...

Full-on blizzard at RLM. Coming down hard. Drifts to foot deep already. Lift rides blow (literally) but snow is just fine.

I'll add a red lodge's: 0" 30f genuine Illinois-style freezing rain.

Our inversion broke in RL yesterday. Was -9 town/26 mid mountain. Currently -15/-6.
Hope y'all can hang on to that sweet high air a little longer.

Everyday risk. Never pass an opportunity to use a pisser before you load around here.
Scuttlebutt was a larger boarder carved the ramp hard, swung the chair, towered, got tossed, derail.

Sorry I missed ya Cat. Did get stuck on the Griz chair derail tower 10. Hope ya found some goodness!

Hey Cat sent you a PM. Got the day off. Up here lapping Griz chair total blue, yellow Roxas, yellow poles. Inverted huge stay high.

Cat, directly behind Foster and Logans in the alley is the county annex building. Staff and visitor parking only during business hours but they don't work weekends so it's a free downtown spot til...

Are you guys already getting "the next round"? Should start here at noon.

Tried to post a pic of red Lodge sucking hard, but app denied it.
Don't come to red Lodge.
It sucks.
Uncut pow lines, broken lifts, nobody around like it's YC. Blows.
Edit to add: fuck...

^^^ no joke. Got back from Seattle last night was going to change oil first thing this morning ... think I'm gonna wait:
On the drive over it looked like from about butte to about Livingston got...

Good info NB. I heard third week of December and my mind jumped to holiday week. Decembers weird this year, flows through six "weeks" on the calendar.

I thought the same thing when I heard that rumor. That's a worked to death swifty for 30 days.
A bigger fuck up would be NOT ready by xmas.

Is it true the new rammy won't be ready till xmas? Pardon me if this has been covered. Just scuttlebut I heard.

The guy who owns purgatory came in to our bar. He's really tall.

Word is cracked shaft. Not gonna make prez weekend.

I'm not a mechanic. But entire bullwheel went down today. I mean like down on a trailer. So....a couple weeks is the word. No pressure, having crippple chair serve the whole mtn feeder. On a positive...

^^^truth. Don't know how reliable the numbers but word is the crane is 76 tons and our big cats are 26 apiece. I have no frame of reference/fact check. But it leads to a math problem that's way above...

Cranes man. Cranes are all the rage over here. Can u crane off a bull wheel mid season mid slope in Feb? We're not sure we can either. But we're gonna try it! Took two cats to pull it through the...

Is BS skiing good enough to burn a MSAA Monday? Gotta visit on slow Mondays, kinda sick of our same old same old snow over here.

VT bum:
First, did you win my skis damnit? How many of us can there be?
Second, it seems to me we have the water and guns and manpower (newer guns are remotely controlled), what we seem to lack is...

We got more snowmaking capability than about anywhere else nearby you can name. The "man," for being flawed in some of his other sights, never hesitates to pull the trigger on early season guns and...

Other side of the mountains report: -10, not a damn flake, no wind. We're in the storm hole over here.

Jesus, you gallatin folks get that cold front moving through? My weather station is showing an overnight high of 28 and it's currently -3. I know we just had cold temps but after yesterday -anything...

I know this is Jackson related, but Yellowstone Public Radio just read a story with a funny pronunciation. It was about Liz Cheney's bill to increase heli ops days. But the reader said "hella."
"A...

Wow. Bad blind date right there.

Picking stuff up in Billings. Took off my hoody an hour ago. T shirt weather. :(

Whoa...red Lodge was ahead of the curve on a thing? Cool!

Montana pass looks like rebirth of sky card with fewer discounts at double the price. This years sky card ditched free ski weeks, they probably won't have near the beer swilling crowd as normal....

Red Lodge Mountain will extend the season until April 16. We have a 42 inch base. Discuss.

We will save you the indignity of hosting billings people. Theyre coming south. A foot plus at RLM and we opened all remaining terrain yesterday afternoon and will open Palisades chair this morning....

You guys get that heavy hot foen this afternoon? We're getting about 40 something degrees at about 50 mph at RLM. Visibly eating snow.

It's actually skiing way better than you would think. Here for ski school dork conference. Only hit something like 5 rocks yesterday, which ain't bad considering we poached a few things, then got...

FIFY.
In all seriousness tho, have a great day, be safe. Sounds better than lapping explorer chair all day, which is what we all expected.
