Don't waste your time heading to Snowbowl/LT at this point. It's better than it was two weeks ago but not worth traveling for this season.

Being an apparent PE douchebag, he'd fit right in!

Things are going GREAT in Missoula right now.

$2000 for three days of lift tickets (no tram) for a family of 4 in January. Fuck right off Big Sky.

:(

New chair at LT? What is this craziness you speak of? Chair 4 was added in 2001 (and I was the first paying customer to ride it...they didn't even give me a sticker). I am not aware that they ever...

What show? Disco? We saw the Marshall Fucking Tucker Band there last week because we were staying right down the road. Those dudes are old as balls and kind of sucked but the people watching was all...

LT got another 10" overnight....wow.

I have such mixed feelings about the new lift. On one hand, it will be great to get people over to Snowpark, which is really, really good intermediate terrain, and a lot of it. On the other hand, you...

Feels like a lifetime ago.

Lost Trail's snow report this morning is the grimmest I have ever seen. Pretty sure it rained to the top yesterday, though I can't confirm.



Meanwhile, outside Missoula, the Stuart Peak Snotel...

Agree about Whitefish but getting stuck on Griz at Snowbowl for an hour is big time small area vibes.

I learned something new today. Before clicking, I thought this was going to be about how they find largely intact trees buried under talus when excavating foundations for new homes at the YC and SP,...

That video is incredibly ominous.

A bargain at any price, no doubt.

I heard from a Whitefish guy that there is a rumor going around that Alterra is going to buy the Big Mountain. Anyone heard anything? That seems like it would be the ultimate suck.

I also heard...

Dunder, next time you're here beers on me at the Last Run Inn at Snowbowl if you promise to tell the unvarnished truth about it.

Probably in that one huge year when Disco got 175".

FIFY

This is an exceedingly bold claim.

I haven't been there, just sayin'.

Yes. I stayed there for the first time ~15 years ago. If you want the complete oral history of the G***** R**** cabin I'll connect you with my father in law who was president of the Bitterroot...

OK no more talk about the G***** R**** cabin.

It's not brand new (hell, it's 20 years old now) but it is pretty nice. Only potential downside is that it is the warming hut for day users so you only get it to yourself while it's dark. Last time I...

Anyone lose a roof or a spruce last night? Holy shit.

Who cares how much it costs or how big the lift lines are when you can ski tRiPle bLacKs?

Billings is not going to allow any recreational weed shops in the entire city. Almost unbelievable...but Billings. What a shithole.
...

They paid me in GOODTIMES only. Or wait...I paid them. Fuck.

It is very on-brand for Snowbowl, that's for sure.

Interesting tidbits about the new lift(s), too. Really looking forward to the surface lift on top of TV Mountain. :confused:

I have read about this happening many, many times.

Whitefish might like a word about that.

[takes huge bong rip]

That's cool, I am sure day tickets will be reduced proportionally by whatever the tram add-on will cost, right? RIGHT?

So the point of that is to ski HW and avoid Six Shooter? Then what? You go up IH and back down to Challenger to get back up to the top of HW? Or can you get to the bottom of HW from the top of IH?

The falling down that was happening the parking lot turned campground later was even more impressive.

I was there. It was fun, maybe too fun. I am not surprised Panic never got invited back.

Anyone driving from Helena to Missoula this week (after 10am tomorrow, Tuesday) that would have room for a bike? I will make it worth your while.

Sick blazer. The elbow patches really bring it to the next level.

Going to be a damn good one at LT today: "Good morning Powder Hounds from Lost Trail. It is 5:15am on Feb 26th and the snow continues to fall up here with 10” since closing last night. We did receive...

I am really surprised that is published in Distinctly Montana, which mostly serves as a vehicle for $$$$$$$$$ real estate ads.

Montana's shittiest Jersey transplant, by far, is Gov. Giantfuckface so unless you are roasting him, STFU anonymous trolls.

How much vert is the hike?

Even ice isn't slippery when it's this cold.

This was 100% my experience at Snowbowl today, except that I tried to fix my goggles, just made them worse, and kept them on anyways. Hell, I sort of know where I'm trying to go. Seeing doesn't...

Full on winter at the Bowl of Snow (my nose almost fell off this afternoon) and the NWS is not fucking around. Those guys are taking massive bongrips and then posting absolutely preposterous shit...

Am I high or did BS used to have a lot more webcams than the two snowstakes, Madison base, and Everett's?

Taco Bell comes with a free shift meal, probably. Chalet comes with a shop discount and a pro form so you can spend all your money right there, like a mining town.

It's just slightly different than Big Sky.

The Disco brother is a cool dude. He's regularly out there helping organize ski lessons and other generally boring stuff like that. And then two weeks ago, my wife left her poles there and he texted...

60" base is hard af to get on a mountain that gets 200" a year.

Awesome. I'll shoot you a PM. Thanks everyone else for the offers, too.
