That sums it up really well. For me it felt like a combo of being still and being in a perfect river of snow. It wasn't until after it was over that I felt scared and got worried, otherwise it was...

We need snow. 358699

I enjoy skiing alone. Just sometimes worry about getting treewelled

That's one of the bummers of skiing alone. It's hard to share the stoke. Hopefully random people don't mind getting some good shots.

Showdown was pretty damn good. Here's a photo of a random guy having fun.

The snotels told a different story. Oh well snow is snow

18+ overnight so far...

I'll be at showdown tomorrow. If anyone wants to take some laps I'll be on moment wildcats and shifts. Burgundy fly low pants.

Pmed

I think I will as well. It is not a fun storm drive but I bet it will be worth it.

Also, anyone know of a bootfitter in helena. My searches have yielded nil.

Trying to learn the storm patterns here. Is it pretty common for the little belts and only the little belts to get absolutely dumped on? Looks like 24''+ coming... Why does it always have to land...

Bueller

Please take my money!!!!

pm sent but I think im late.

Thanks!

I have been having issues with touring bindings while patrolling and found some older STH14 bindings that I have that have a height adjustable toe piece. I assume these will work fine with gripwalk...

I might be interested, can you throw up some pics? Do you know if they can adjust to 317bsl without redrilling?

300 shipped for skis?

I have about a $300 budget if someone has skis they are trying to get rid of as well.

Looking for some pivots. 95-115 brake.

Yeah those looks real nice. Probably impossible to get as well. Not exactly cheap once you add in all the options, and significantly heavier than my tundra can handle (why on earth is my payload...

I'm itching for a bigfoot 611 or northern lite 610. Anyone got any leads? Why is nothing made as light and complete anymore? I don't get it. The market is huge.

Anyone got a used pair? After ejecting 10 times with my kingpins doing kick turn tests I need something more reliable for patrolling.

Also interested in used skis 100-105 underfoot. 180-190cm. ...

That looks awesome. Everytime I've been up so far this year the upper mountain was closed.

Big sky looked nice today with the new snow. Stupid, but didn't realize big sky was so big.

Well, hope it gets better soon. You had to go over a berm of pretty much rocks and grass to get to it so there were only a couple of tracks. It was lovely.

Anyone familiar with palamino backpack ss500 campers? There's a 2018 near me that seems decently priced. This would be going on a 2006 regular bed tundra 6'3''. Is my bed too long? I haven't found...

I'm pleasantly surprised by great divides terrain. Definitely rock city but it also hasnt really snowed since October.. wasn't expecting powder turns today.

Ditto if you see some pink black crows at great divide. I doubt I'll be there too long though.

Somewhat successful day given I only had the hoks. Tele turns are hard. Pup was not happy anytime we went off trail.

That looks... really nice! Tracked out or no one there?

I love your enthusiasm!

Yeah, kind of feels like backcountry survival skiing. I like it. I might do a couple of runs there tomorrow or go skishoe around stemple. Let me know how it is.

They opened it today with a funny warning.

"Mount Belmont Chairlift Surprise Opening Today. While we are excited to have Belmont Open and provide access to the summit, please read all the details...

Crazy they are opening the top of belmont with that coverage. Should be interesting.

I haven't been here for long but that seems to be pretty common theme up in the Kalispell area.

Thanks! I'm scouting around mission today but I don't have skis in me.

Is there anything tourable in the tobacco roots without a sled? Those are some beautiful mountains. Haven't heard much about them.

Oh okay makes sense, I have an account but haven't got my card yet. Looks like it's all booked up anyways.

Finally making it down to bozeman for the first time. I was thinking about hitting hitting up bridger but I'm not sure it's worth the 65 bucks at this point with the snowpack.

Their reservation...

That actually looks pretty good. I have not had such luck around here.

Oof, not much snow. Looks like a good time though. I can't wait to get a sled.

Teton was pretty great as always. I think the wind blew away all the goods though. I love that place. 354656

Nice, I should be heading that way tomorrow.

Those look perfect, sending a pm.

Which is?

Sorry I haven't replied. My wife had to have surgery last minute so I have been busy. I'll get back to everyone this weekend.

Unicorn is making me think buckle may be better.

That would be perfect, how much are you thinking?
