Thread: TR; this last weekend at Bridger

He is the director of fun.

I think I might have rode the bridger lift today with that guy in the vest. Left side, top row, third in... I think he had a red pair of heads.

Today wasnt too bad. There were still soft spots if you looked for them. This isnt me, or anyone i know probably. I just caught this from the PK lift. Coming out of nasal cavity...




BUT....



























The minnesotans are coming.

I'm pleasantly surprised at how much interest a single picture of people drinking in a kitchen has managed to generate.

Let see if this one


or this one


Or maybe this one generates some interest

Got some, much more than 17 top of Bridger. Waist deep up high, super-smoky-poodery-gnar-blower. Hope you heal up quick MT, this year is kickin ass!

Today was amazing. Hiked up fingers and skied the far left of the meadows. Untouched since the last storm probably. At least waist deep. So nice.

wowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowo wowowowowowowow!!!!!!!!!

fucking amazing, even though I could only manage 4 runs (had to be at work at 11). But it was worth it!

Glad you guys are getting some. Anybody shoot some pics?

Supposed to be off the crutches Jan 4th, and should be skiing by the second half on Jan. However, expect full drought like conditions to settle back over BB as soon as I'm out and about. In the meantime, I'll take donations of beer for my "taking one for the team" actions this month.

Don't worry, the next 2 seasons are pretty much guaranteed to go off while I'm stuck in the midwest/east. Plus, we're going to Mexico at the end of January so that should help even more. MT is close enough to UT to get the residual effect. Oh how I miss the west...

Missed ya up there today. Got firsties down some funky line between the Os and B Gully this morning and I had to stop and unclog my helmet every 100 feet or so (and I was on Spats). My camera was still with the airline from visiting my folks for XMas. Bastards lost my luggage as always.

Who the hell did I talk to for a second down at the Griz today? Some dude had cracked the sidewall on his Lotus 138s mounted with Dukes. Only some jackass from this board would smash such a gnarly setup.

Anyone hear about the guy in tight squeeze? Hucked thirty feet to rock and smashed his hip and femur. Temp. ridge closure because of it.

And that right there is why you never, ever, ever huck this early in the season.

Ouch.

im even able to ski right now, but had the pow clause revoked this week because over half my department is out on vacation.

i get to spend three weeks next month travelling for work then see the doc in early feb.

That's no good. Did he land on the rocks in the photo here?



Even under the best of conditions on a high snowpack year those things don't get covered...

It looked like those rocks had the snow scraped off of them... I dont even know how to hit that thing. In big snow years they arent even completely covered, as far as I can tell.

Here are a few ok shots of yesterday. The first one is of my little lady. The dude in the sequence is like 6'5 with ski boots on. It was deeeeppp!!!
Oh yea and I'm the jackass with the cracked sidewall on the DPS 138.
Spoke with them this morning hope they send me a new pair soon.

Seems like weather disturbances keep dropping a little up there every night. In the meantime, here are a couple stoke vids...
