You guys still turning the corner? I've got a June 15 MFS launch and trying to prognosticate whether flows will be too high for our group...

Nope

That would be a great band name.

Still winter up high if you find the right aspects

Gardiner headwall will still be in play even if the basin doesn't open. Rock Creek headwall will probably require a little hiking to get back to the road, and the farther flung lines will still be...

Nice work Ted, things are filling in nicely down that way

I've done ground cherries a few times. Norseman is mostly right, they are similar to tomatillos although they tend to be shorter and broader. The cherries are in a husk similar to tomatillos and...

I think Shredeagle has been hanging out with youngsters too much, that was first time I've ever watched a tiktok video, but it was worth it.

^^I'm not sure if there's enough snow, but Ski Sunlight is much closer than Aspen and you can tour up there, when I was living in GWS that was my go-to after work skin.

FIFY

I think I won it in the third or fourth year, it was right after the headwaters lift was installed because I remember hiking under it. Also, no GS course which probably would've taken me out of...

That's pretty sweet to see that comp still running. Do competitors still have to hike from the top of the six-shooter? I won that comp way back when it started thanks to having a fast hiking time.
...

Looks good 0g, can't believe it's April. Red Lodge still has plenty of untracked and is skiing great.

Well shit...

^^pm sent

They also used to hold closing day on Tuesdays to keep the shenanigans in check. Too bad the weather was kind of harsh yesterday, kept it a pretty low-key closing. Still managed to have some beers...

Thanks, the skier is PDL and the picture was taken years and years ago. I miss trying to keep up with him.

Been in there a handful of times, mid-winter access is tough if you don't have a sled. Big, steep mountains but they tend to have a pretty thin and faceted snow pack.

^^Did bunion pull your pass or something?

Just returned from a quick trip to the RFV. It was good to revisit the place I learned to ski and I forgot how nice of a view it is from highlands.

This thread is giving me some major ski-off vibes. I think chunderhead and tahoej need to meet at Mammoth and have a ski-off to decide if Aymar is reckless or not.

Also because you can't distill the complexity into a single adjective. Checking the avi report is more than just reading the hazard rating, it's reading and understanding the narrative.

He was talking about the old IFSA format, which was qualifiers on day 1, semi-finals day 2, and finals day 3. All the IFSA comps I competed in, the venue changed each day but you got on-course...

That's too bad to hear, back when I was able to ski there semi-regularly there was a healthy group of local rippers, end of an era if they've been pushed out/moved on. Do they still crown a dirtbag...

Very true, it was fairly tracked up but mostly because it hasn't snowed significantly in some time, but you could sniff out soft turns pretty easy.



Hahaha, as a BB skier for the last 20 years...

Trust me, I tried. I must have given off poor person vibes. I was solo all day and the only people who acknowledged me were the lifties. Fun skiing and no lift lines, but absolutely no soul at that...

That sounds like a lot of work and sacrifice. We are looking for places with $80k houses within a four block bike ride to the gondola. Ski area must receive no less than 400" per season, weed and...

Scored a day at the not Ikon resort in Big Sky. Conditions weren't bad.

There's a freeride comp this weekend but I couldn't figure out how to register.

It seems all the outdoors forums I lurk on have this same question bubble up every year. The question is always where is a cheap place where I can access world-class...

Wasn't the criteria affordable? Red Lodge isn't very cheap and the skiing is really hit or miss. Cooke City has almost no inventory, is expensive, and extremely remote. Personally, I'd look at the...

As long as they don't roam too far outside of YNP: https://www.wyomingnewsnow.tv/2022/02/01/yellowstone-looking-new-management-bison-herds/

My understanding of the Euro model is that they don't...

From the sounds of it, lot's of other people are with you. Plenty of skiing still to be had, and we are just getting into the best part of the season (if it ever freezes again...)

It's not trespassing because private property and trespassing laws are different in CH, it's not because "you're on the snow"...

I thought he was asking for the best pizza places, not the worst :fmicon:

Blackbird pizzas are the shit and by far the best in town. Compania (sp?) used to be pretty good but I haven't been there...

^^Here you go: https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/map/?wfo=byz&obs=true

Most the stations have a 3-day or 7-day history if you click on them. Zoom in and more stations appear.

I'm in that picture...

I saw sooo much frostbite on the ridge yesterday it was pretty harsh with that east wind. Good skiing and the crowd cleared out in the afternoon.

The hellroaring yurt is out of island park and pretty solid. Not sure on availability though.

Agreed.

Yeah but 40 of them will be going down the new "Liberty Road" as they are just glorified sightseers who are only really up there for their instagrams. Jackson makes their tram work and I think they...

So similar to where the old gondola was or further north? It would make sense to use the old gondola cut. I guess with Swifty always breaking it also doesn't hurt to have some redundancy.

I'm sort of confused, didn't they just replace Swifty and now they're replacing it with a gondola? Or am I interpreting that video wrong? Also, will they ever fix the cluster that is the six shooter?

I think the outdoor industry has discovered Bozeman is the perfect blend between SLC and Breck. Not too big to be a city but a larger market than a mountain town.

Currently watching the slopestyle qualifier replay, looks like she's wearing atomic.

Coworker/ski buddy of mine is a foster parent. Sounds like it is very tough but very rewarding. They did it because they want kids but can't so ymmv

Like tail gaiting or finding a parking spot at a vail resort on a saturday?

I kind of hope this turns into the Vail Resort (the actual, flat, ski hill) discussion thread...

I 100% agree with you there and I don't think Vail is doing the sport any favors. I can't even remember the last time I skied a vail owned property. I grew up in the RFV, so I've never liked vail. ...

I understand how SUPs work, but as I previously posted, even when renewing the SUP, the government legally cannot discriminate against the business model or the owners. SUPs generally specify what...

Do you also think timber companies should operate as non-profits? If a business meets the requirements for their Special Use Permit, the Forest Service can't dictate how they run their business, they...
