Honestly, it's been such a shitty and ridiculous season, they should just pack it in.

Well, there were five good weeks in there, which is better than alot of places in a shitty season. Grateful for each of the few good days I got up on. Too bad witnessing such a rare and amazing event has to be of such cost to the Bridger community. Impressive job by everyone up there.

I'm sure it's worth going up to spin laps off p.k, rip a flippers lap for me, you know it's gonna get good again.

Here's the season edit that also serves as the intro to the Point and Chute video contest held at Bridger. http://live.tetongravity.com/_2011-2...659/75233.html

Good times at the ol' Bridger Ski Bowl this morning...Graham emerges from the White Room.

BB got the lost lifts running again for the closer? Cool!

During the big slides, did the Hidden area or Apron slide? Anybody been up there lately? Thinking of doing some hiking this weekend and want to hit Hidden if it is in decent shape.

The dog and I skied Hidden this afternoon. It's now slid out. Still lots of pockets left to release though. The Apron is still holding nice snow next to the debris. Still really fucking spicy up there, be careful. Stay under 30 and it should stay put, super soft slabby right now. This shit needs to come out of the faucet so we can just be done with it.

Damn, doesn't sound good. This may be a good year to just put the skis away and focus on the bike and river. Hoping for a safer snowpack next year.

Went up to bridger today and saw theres been another big slide on saddle pretty recently. sorry no pic.
Guess it couldnt handle all the heat lately. Melting fast up thar, but you can drive to the upper parking
lot, so thats nice.

Was the skiing OK?

It was good in spots. A good freeze would really help up there though, deep
slush on most places.

Damn, 25" at alpine. Good to see another dump before it's all gone.

Three feet? Somebody better give a report here soon.

Can't tell ya about B Bowl, but Middle was DEEP and blower near Beehive.

tone, it was good. real good.

Looks good!

Awesome, thanks. Good to see the good old reliable post season pounding. Closing in on 40" at Alpine, deepest base of the year as well. What a great storm, I hope every flake is shredded before it warms up.

shredding did happen, good sized crowd half of b lot full yesterday afternoon

Slides today...

^^^^^^Glad he was okay. Be careful out there.

Those pics are pretty sweet.

Damn. 43 inches of base snow out of that storm in 36 hrs. Now that's when the winter storm warning is approptiate!

did an one see on 4/27 from 6-7am it snowed 5 inches on the alpine snotel? Is that possible? I have never seen 5 inch an hour snow, ever, anywhere.
