I actually deleted the paragraph about how different the two hills are and how I suspect that Lone peak has a max before it all goes to windscour.

We're a leeward ridgeline and youse guys...

Miles of wind in JH works like this for me:
400 miles a typically windy storm cycle.
500 miles better as windrifts will be more evident.
600 miles, kinda the line where it gets different....

Lmao...he's a dirt pimp in the off seasons, right?

The 'Big Lie' title came about because all of a sudden, BS had the longest total vert...

Looks like Bobcat Goldthwait had a pass bitd.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

In some circles, it's been known as the Big Lie since the first tram went in.

I laffed...

I'm there to party and reconnect with friends. I rarely come to a mag gathering hoping for snow. Got a lifetime of that. Good friends are rarer for me.

Also, your comment about...

Oh, how I have missed your wit. Looking forward to skiing yas again my friend. Been a while now.




Last time I skied there, 2 springs ago with Talisman, it was a gotdam skating rink to start....

This is the way.

The music is CRITICAL. Most days, those operators are just DJ's. Driving a tram is pretty brainless. I know. Firsthand.

Sounds good Norseman!

Solid work offering to kick in you mags.

And Mantana1 for making it happen.
He's quiet but a solid Teton mag fosho.

I'm the same way. If there's a way around without creating some animal chaos, I say let's get the lead out. Wanna hang out and look? Fine GTFO the roadway.

I have come sooooo close to pulling a...

Hope to ski wth as many mags as possible while in the area. Will holla.

Prolly roll in 2/3 maybe watch some skijoring, maybe just party at the digs. Ski sunday and monday 2/4-2/5.
And party. ...

Good call, yeah man. That's looks a little better than the vill today.


Interesting about 4 corners, makes me want to drive the extra leg from the Big Sky jct.

And I've gone out of my way to...

How did you get the Mohican?

Damn, that can't be right.

Is it me, or are the dispensary prices up around boze/4corners much more reasonable? Seems the BS/Wjelly shops are kindy spendy.
I get...

Yo! I am set. Thank you for asking my friend.
I added on a cheap ikook pass to my season pass so I gots 5 days there. Looking at 2/3-2/5 with the mayor emeritus. Maybe 2 days in late spring...
I'd...

Myself and another mag or two will be skiing the Big about the 3-5th. Is the skijoring in the meadow area and what time of day?

If you're coming down to Fight Club, best to remember rule #1.

I just checked, the $25 jeans day is sold out.
Byates, did you get a ticket dialed in?

$87 for a daily thru the 14th, then up to $117 from the 15th thru the 20th.

The 1/2 off w/season pass...

Yo Talisman, got your text, thanks my friend. We will be stoked to dine on some delicious elk meats. Sure wish you were accompanying it but maybe later this season, yes? We're close.

Byates - got...

Cold Man Ribber.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Look forward to skiing ya Byates, skiing is pretty fair but not expansive. Decent chance more terrain by next weekend. Snow is much softer now with...

Laughing. Yep, this all makes perfect sense to me. I had the advantage of a freshly minted AF patch and a super crusty Jh local with me who went back a bit with Lonnie. I was mostly listening and...

Man, ain't that the truth. BS used to stay open a few weeks later than the village and workers could get 3 nights at the Huntley, breakfast and daily tix for cheap; Like $200 all in.
The cards on...

Man, you are not kidding Norse.

Those dudes walking the line appear to have a big 'biner on each track rope but they look really easy to slide. I wonder if they misstep and hang a tad but stop....

Harry's coming to visit me for a while this next season. Maybe we should plan a shindig if'n you like minded mags wanna ski a day or two in JH and have a smokedown.
3 hrs from the Big, about 5 from...

We got pretty fucking baked that evening.
Harry's a helluva host.

That pic reminds me of some really good times in Big Sky.

The tube now resides in the waxroom and is the place to earn your...

The double blue designation has been on the JH map for decades.

[QUOTE=Talisman;6903799]Sorry man the Swimmy complex is the envy of the neighborhood. Based on his Christmas lights and fly tying table every blade of grass and shrub is manicures. The weeds and...

In the Bear's Tooth shot, lower left, I think that's the end of the FS road that runs up Rock Creek canyon, whatever that's named.
It's a few miles in and past most of the campsites.

Norse, how...

10sleep canyon blows. No one should go there. shhhhh...

OK, the Bighorn loop no sucky.
On the mesa across from Antelope butte ski area, I left some $500 binocs hanging in the tree after scoping...

Historically in JH, they offered a few types of passes beginning in 1966; a chairs and tram pass and a chairs only pass.
You could ride the tram on a chairs only pass with an extra $2 tram ticket....

Well that sucks, damn. Sorry to hear that Bunion.

Lazy boy, ftw!

When you and SFB are done with practice, come on down to The Big One and we'll hook yas up. :fm:

Bring Talisman witcha.:yourock:

We gots some 1/2 off vouchers, a mag shindig tomorrow night,...

Man, you got that right.

Guys like us are assessing our entry tactics from the armchair position.

Hahaha, most of the skiing population would shit their pants at that downview, you though, need to think about 2 turns.


Mags holding down the Fort. Getting the Goods.

Badasses. Nationwide.

Fkna My friend.

Sometimes we gotta pay to play, ya?

Choiceness scoring the Big and the NSS after waiting so patiently.

It is a great mountain.


Was that entry scratchy or carvy?

Stoked to see you mags getting the goods.

And sharing them.

Western Hospitality at it's Finest.

Way to do the time and charge the Lone peak...

Not everyone pays da moniez, gets off their asses and pounds the pow.
Solid work Mags.

I don't really have a bucket list per se, but skiing at Craters is most definitely something I've wanted to do for a long time. I'd love to ski down those cinder cones in a blizzard.

No doubt, decidedly different than being next to a metropolis.

But identical in that the morning can get fucked with one proper accident. Or a wagon train of fucking turtles.

Interesting keeping up with the transformation of the Big Lie over the past few seasons.

I've said before that potentially, the biggest future issue is that 2 lane road up the hill. That's gonna...

Jeezuz, Jenks, that's a tittaaaaayyyyz series of shots. Way to get after it and get paid.

Strong work Pops!

The big draw to the summit of the JH tram for non skiing sightseers is not for the view, but for a waffle. A $10 waffle at that.
Usually 5-12 per car.
That rendezvous bowl is recommended for...

Thank you my friend; My main guy moved away and left me hangin'. :eek:

I'll be roadtrippin up that a ways some this winter. Been on kind of a weed time out for a month + now. Keeping my lungs a...

About this...as in recreational and open to all peoples?

Yeah, I learned a few lessons on that one.

Not that I could beatdown a GB linebacker but I was ready to stand my ground or, in a pinch, ski away and elude him. That, I got down pat.

Good times...

They just commandeer your weed and challenge you to do something about it. Fucking ex Green Bay Linebackers.

I call shotgun, riding with SFB!

Holeeee shite, that's tough news for me.
Just texted you a few minutes ago, holla back at me...

The JH tram had an add-on price from about 1966 thru 1994ish.
$2 tram tickets plus your daily pass/tix.
extra $2 for every lap. Only gold pass included this.

We'd actually like to bring it...

Saw this guy in JH a coupla weeks ago. Sure can't miss that ride coming at you with the ski rack...Looked like a Bond Lotus esprit at first.

Think he's Ikonic?

Wow, Most excellent there Yeahman!!!!
That's a big step, quite the feather in her cap.
Yours too for that matter.


I can see Harry's place down there.
prolly, like, a 1/4 mile away...

I'm sorry, my friend. Didn't mean to be mean...

I would be overstoked to show you and the Mrs T. around down here.

I made the same offer to Bunion but he got a much better offer from some...
