+1 Unfortunately that is too true about Moose Creek. Neighbor in some shitty sedan with bubble wrap in all the windows only appeared once in 36 hours - to eat out of his trunk. The ranger...

No, um, love, for Tokyo Massage? :eek: Long standing joke on hunting trips is - "We'll be limited out and getting body shampoos by noon".

"Great divide by 2", at least, is a good rule of thumb ...

Easy-peasey way to get messages to the whole committee. Help stop this bullshit!!

Awesome picture. Best shot so far in the - Best. Thread. Ever.

I can't remember, how many hours is it before I should seek medical advice?

And the SW MT Conditions thread has degenerated into a bitchfest about the "real" Montana ...
PLEASE ULLER, deliver us from this fuckery.

Papa - "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place."

It's every bit as good as it looks. There is literally miles of it south of Goose Bay.

Skating on Canyon Ferry. Get it while it lasts ...

👍

Per Bunion's sig - I have been in this State for 28 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

That's some cutting edge reporting - Montana got crowded and real estate prices went up. Damn pandemic, everything was fine up until that happened ...

Couldn't help myself ...

The skintrack i was talking about is the one shown in the GPS track ...

... north path in the red zone slid and the debris slid past the flat at the bottom onto the slope down to the creek ...

A couple years ago t he entire

Pics are gone but that general area can and does slide, occasionally bigly. I have skied back down the skintrack up the finger ridge more than once...

19" on my driveway south of Broadway ...:eek:

Good tip - somewhat similar page here https://www.lccountymt.gov/health/covid-19/local-covid-19-decision-making-dashboard.html for Lewis and Clark county.

Three comments;

1.) The frustration of dealing with a reservation system run by any of the M&P ski hills would likely limit skier #'s without any cap - no way are they set up to handle that. ...

Yikes!! Wonder why they aren't making the fecal testing results public ... ? Earlier in the thread you mentioned Disco's operating plan - Where did you see it? I don't see anything on their website.

Not really ...

1978, leaving the bay area to ski Alpine at 430 am with 3 buddies. We fired up a J and put in the cassette of a new band that was on the radio called Van Halen ... never will forget that drive.

Totally support formalizing the existing trail system and adding some new, but can't we keep the Scratchgravels a little, scratchy? The spider web of green on Map 2 and the proposal to double the...

Say in MT, the Governor says ok we are good to open on a limited basis. Will you drive to a trailhead with people outside your household?

Not doing that now - it seems a little whacky to drive up...

[QUOTE=lifelinksplit;5927458] ... but there were a decent amount of cars parked at Mac pass as I was heading to my jobsite around 9:30am.

Those cars were probably for the XC trails, north of the...

Truth - there were a surprising number of people there, and most seemed to be tailgating for lunch :rolleyes: Out of state plates, Bozemanites, a whole basket full of deplorables :tongue:
clock is...

Slow day in the swamp last fall, dead calm.

I think it was XXX-er in another thread, who said "when the skiing isn't good the skating is, and vice versa" - soooo true.

Friday afternoon bid openings are right up there, although they generally result in something being accomplished. As opposed to meetings ...

Re: icy forest service roads.

A wise man once told me, "Carry chains for all 4 but only put one set on. If you get stuck use the other set to get the fuck out of there". Sound wisdom IME.

Lots of good advice in this thread - go get some skates and pads from Play it Again and do it! It's a really nice tool to have in the winter activity quiver. You will pick up the basics quickly...

Nattering nabobs of negativism ...

Opening morning went well. Rooster #3's tail was lost in a pitched battle to pull his wounded ass out of a snowberry thicket. IMO, there's not much better than a good day hunting with...

I'm not a parent, as will soon become obvious;

1. Ask a random person on the mountain if they have any weed - 250 points
2. Take a swig of water from an emptied pint bottle of gin, and offer a...

Would be an awesome venue for a MT mini-summit if it does - Old Time Hockey!

First it was a speed limit, then an open container law. If you left before before there was a speed limit times aren't a changin' - they done changed. Driving is only a small part of it ...

It used to be; 1) What's your name? 2) Where are you? 3) How many fingers am I holding up?

Two correct answers and you were back in the game - hopefully we've progressed ...

Thanks for the "heads up" !

You had me at "homemade cocktail of whiskey and narcotics" ...

Hey, do any of you Big Sky insiders know anything about a Frequent Skier/Sky/MT Pass kind of deal for the upcoming season? Nothing on the website, and the 406 pass doesn't have any early/late dates...

I agree that there is very little conflict on the ground, but there are WAY more bikers AND hikers using the trails than there were 30 years ago. Several groups are actively promoting trail usage by...

In our LG fridge/freezer the icemaker shit the bed after a couple of years - nonserviceable and $198 to replace. FUCK YOU!! :the_finge

I accept your apology. :biggrin:

Geez, ya harsh on a ski area once, after a couple of really crappy snow years in a row, like a decade ago, and some people can't let let it go ...
Truth be told, I don't know Snowbowl all that well...
