I was thinking it would be ideal if after 4 or 5 per ride charges, it was free the rest of the day. I also found it funny they don't email any receipt and the credit card charge seems to be from...

That is scary. Shedhorn is the old Ram Charger, right?

Awesome day, and great skiing with you yeahman. I can't attach photos anymore, if you want go ahead and add any of those I sent you.

I like the price on that April pass, wasn't originally thinking 2025 spring break at Big Sky.

^^^that thing is worth $10k if it can make it over to Missoula:-)

So with the fancy new tram, sign outs still in the penalty box?

Funny it is the weekend I would typically have Turner as an option, but in Canada. Place is so awesome with good snow.

A little outside town, but this ride was fun:

I thought Bear Dance was fun....in part because I love the Mission mtns and only trail open to bikes. But not worth drive over if it just another trail to you.
Good option if higher elevation Swan...

Depends on snow conditions and what your group is looking for, but 4 days at LT seems like too much to me. I would just do powder Th, BC in Bitterroot Fr, keep going north to Missoula, party...

Wow, West looks good, nice photos. Lifts opening today sounds like.

Well good exposure for MSU & MT, but now it won't be on ESPN+ and I need to get ESPN2 or whatever.... hashtag first world problems.

Go Griz!

Yep, basically due east. Nice snow photos guy's

Thanks.
Doesn't look like the cut the 3 runs from the map of the approved plan, yet:

Yes, thanks for posting. Hopefully someone can post a pic of TV Mtn to the left of the new lift line. Interested to see thinning vs clear cut runs.

Bunion, yeah that part of the Mtn was awesome...

I would think they can't go too high with the tower or the wind coming over the ridge would limit operations. But I'm also amazed it is even possible and that they have enough funds. I'm not...

oh my. hopefully that tram tower isn't an eyesore.

You might want AWD for snowbowl road if it is looking like fresh snow. I would highly recommend the pizza from the snowbowl bar. Also Highland brewery and Big Sky brewery are near your hotel on...

Congrat's to the Bobcats, canceled all my espn after the Griz lost and could bring myself to pay to watch the cats, but look forward to watching highlights. When they first put out the bracket, I...

Must not be owned by the Church? In theory, they should be welcoming, right?

Fun to take the CDT to the Virgin, but we got yelled at by tour guide for trespassing(I found that odd).

Good, scenic ride off I15, after trail gets cut out(guessing late summer):...

He paid $400 for his, not a popular car at the time.

Love those. Best friend had one in late high school, until we destroyed it and he replaced it with another early university years. Highlights include:
mudding past stuck lifted 4x4 at the tank...

Motivated me to post my photos from a few days in that area a month ago...

^^Nice, a solo tram would be something. Lenin wasn't bad today. I thought about another lap, but legs were worked from headwaters laps.

Thanks for the tip, checked both out last week and had an awesome time. Good fun skiing the ski area also.

Anyone have some recommendations for backcountry skiing spots neat Teton Pass Ski area? Planning to ski the lifts for closing day(3/10), but would like to head over early and get a day or two of...

Is that 3rd photo looking south from the ski area?

Yeah, seems like almost any heli op in MT would also need to have permit for avalanche control or it would be really boring terrain most years. Centennials seem extra challenging.

Well good point yeahman, rereading the webpage (not just skimming) I can see they are leaving lots of options and covering most obvious issues.

It must be financially better for BS to shut down completely than operate at reduced capacity. Vaccine could save the day, otherwise, seems like lack of plan will end up with what happen end of last...

I would suggest a ride that offers a experience you can't get in MSO, like Emerald lake or Hyalite Cr. But those might have a lot of hikers, depending on day and timing.

Really you need to give...

I will hike with a holstered hand gun in hot zones like GNP. Last thing I want to do is kill a bear, but if it kills/attacks me, the government is going to kill it(plus maybe others), so no point in...

MT pass (Sept 2019) and April pass(early 2020), typically get announced later. But looks like they might be replacing with the flex 5.

Oh, I read it as two 60 cabins...so half that would be more reasonable I guess, plus if it travels further.

Looked like this was heading north on I15, hopefully they park in the gold lot :fmicon: :

Regarding replacing the tram...does anyone else think that is a bad idea? I get not liking the...

Looked like a geotech drilling rig near top of Swifty? Getting an early start on new lift maybe. Was hoping top station would be in the other direction.

No but dude on last tram of the day who was on tram island mentioned that they poached it.

Shortish tram line, so I did 3 off the top today. They had a steep skiing clinic in the Big C, but tagged onto ns...good first run of the trip :-). Up with sick kid now and skiing with wife Monday...

Should be arriving this Saturday afternoon for the week, wife is attending the wilderness medicine conference. When not skiing with the wife or 4 year old, hopefully get some laps in. Last years...

Glad they are doing the MT pass again, wasn't sure with all the new pass options if it would continue.



Oh good reminder, I need to see if the wife wants to go to that.

Huntley is fine if...

That is a cool sky view of Lone Peak, would like to see the full resolution version.

Did 5 tram rides today, 2nd group in the big. Low vis, but awesome turns.

Ski instructor conference checked in the other night. Wonder if they will get to gangbang the big again this year, it...

I will be skiing BS today prior to family and friends arriving for the week. Moment wildcats with sth2, black helmet, orange jacket(today).

On another topic, hotel check in west Yellowstone ...

I was up top last April and a patrol seemed to imply I could sign up, but I didn't push it because I chickened out not having my whippit. Although they might think I'm a total kook showing up with a...

Disco!

My vote would be only allow scenic rides on tram and make everyone hike if they want their ski gear at the top.

That would be my guess. Plus the good economy, cheep flights to BZN, countless articles & ads about new chair.

Hopefully the Ikon'ers are gone in April so us even lower class dirtbag Montana Pass...

I plan to hang my birth certificate, passport, high school diploma, UM diploma, honor cord all from my IKON lanyard.





WOP Chop!

^^^x2. #itsalwaysharkweek is a good one

^^^x2, cool how you can go back in time. Sunrise is awesome.

A few photos from my 9 days at Big Sky, April 12-20. Split time between family and windows of "dad free time" skiing.

Got the most runs in on first day, challenger headwaters lift were skiing...
