Thread: TR; this last weekend at Bridger

I remember skiing the tight squeeze in 96-97. It was so filled in you could make turns down the chute, then it was like a 5-10 foot drop and you just had to make a turn around the rock he landed on. My buddy had just gotten a new pair of 210's and was having an off day. He caught a ski in the chute and ended up hanging upside down from the choke over the rock drop anchored in place by his 210. He finally managed to get himself out, but it was pretty funny watching him flail around trying to get unstuck.

Did the guy jump from the skiers left side of the choke? Sounds horrible, hope the healing goes well.

Well, it's been a few days since our last storm and nobody liked my idea for a new thread for this year, so I'll repost my pics from it here.

All pics are from a November(?) morning of skinning with the dog and lobstahmeatwad before we had to go to work and school.

We hit the inversion layer heading up. A very nice day for skinning.


Then we hit the North Bowl road and realized we had to break trail through the new snow. The Dukes performed admirably.


Then it was time to ski. Ghost (the dog) was jacked.



All photo credits go to lobstahmeatwad. All overly-stiff photo slutting is mine.


Then we had brunch and went in for first tracks on avy gully. It was blow in pretty deep.



I hope this quality repost appeases the snow gods and they bless us with their goodness.

Pretty gnarly up there today. Windiest conditions I have ever skied in, plus it was basically hailing at the same time. And it was packed? Craziness.

One the up side, my new tankers r00l!!

My oldest kid starts Mogul mice tomorrow, STOKED! (Both of us, maybe me a little bit more)

I sure hope those instructors know what they're doing

...and I'll be skiing monday.

w00t!

Flippers was $$$ on friday...

Flippers was not bad yesterday. One of the two runs worth skiing. The other is ptarmigan to upper sluice. Dont ski lower sluice, but when you are coming down stick to the right side walls in the upper part. "creamy"ish windbuff goodness.

The John has been skiing nicely, too. D - did things go well on Sunday. Conditions were actually pretty good. I meant to look for you but I had a HUDGE class of older kids trying to take chunks out of my tails on Alpine and PK.

bridger looks thin....

MOGUL MICE ROCKS!! Great instruction, fun games, the kid is more pumped on skiing than ever.

Lars is back? Still rockin the red pants?

Some shots of my non-mag friend chris...

Hard to see him, but he is gapping the road halfway up the bridger lift.

catch up- maybe not keep up- w/ y'alls at the end of the month at the bridgerBazool, ~1/26-2/6.............

Looked like it was snowing pretty good up there this morning.
After trying to use a giftcard at the wrong gas station and turning back because I forgot my pass, I finally made it to the hill...





... and realized that I forgot my boots too.
So here I sit at home, with no time for turns before work.

Looks like you should give me all your weed holmz

it's starting to affect yo' life.

no new snow yet, but looks like it is coming...

Today we got 2 more inches. Kinda crusty below, but confidence inspiring.
Superman Cliff

Riding up PK today, some girls two chairs up decided to heckle this dude for wearing a teal and white "snowsuit".

He stopped, gave them a thumbs up and so the guys one chair up decided to heckle him by saying "Hey man, don't let those chicks tell you who you are..."

... To which the blue and white skier responded "I'll show you who I am" and promptly hit a little lip on the top of the first cliff and sent the damn thing clear over the second. Throwing a styly grab for good measure and stomping it.

The lift absolutely erupted.

FKNA


In other news:
The pow up top was a little dense and I scrapped all the snow off the rocks in the entrance to the 4th finger, I figured it was a good dead to protect everyone elses ptex. You can pay me back later

I'd tear right into you, but after having done the same exact thing before, there's no room for me to talk shit on this!!!

Skied pretty well today, hit flippers allllllll day long. I was skiing with 2 snowboarder buddies that weren't big fans of bumpy runs, so realistically all we could ski was stuff off of PK - Bridger's out of the question, and with 10-dollar-day crowds don't even think about Alpine...



Anybody know the story of what's wrong with Deer Park? It'd have been nice to have it running to help with the crowds...

I know that it is broken, but that is it.

Alpine was a mess, but I think PK was even worse.

Bridger was pretty damn good though, at least for the first hour or so. Walk ons with 3+inches of that heavy stuff.

By the way, I made the daily video, there is a 3 second clip of me skating under the bridger lift. Awesome!

hey single i have been seeing you up there daily with your white helmet.

ill be up there tomorrow for anyone who wants to make turns. red pants are always the old reliable.

Xtra sorry I missed ya, saw Lobstah on his 30th B-day, old bastid<cheers>.

What's the plan for the summit? Need to show the maggots how we Bridger Boys do it propah-like.
