Sorry, Shredeagle...no uphill travel is the word.

Just got word that Bridger will not be opening today fyi

Apron was legit pow skiing for sure

Lower Never Never was deep too

First two Ridge laps of the season for me were worthy

It's the cold part of cold smoke. Won't offer too much cushion for the pushin but any snow is welcome, though a few inches of 12-14 % would do wonders.

Silly good storm skiing! Amazing hour on Slushie's before plug was pulled due to rapid loading and stout sluffs running deep and long. Nabbed a couple of ridge runs after that. Love late morning...

Special shout out and salute to swimmy for spreading the stoke with a smile! Snapped this one of him on our lap Sunday because photogs need love too! Cheers!

Fighting the wind a bit the past few days but as it taketh away, it also giveth. Hidden was primo this morning and worth the walk.

An unreal day of elevation specific Bridger Magic today. Got a hike in with swimmy and a couple of Slushman's short hikes too. Sparkly deep snow and blue skies with the trees pasted...

We'll hold your spot Swimmy, but only if you're in line at VC ready for the hilarious uphill dash towards Bridger at the unload! Sorry you're having scanner static. Great photos per usual, you are...

Missed the Sunday storm as well as I needed to fly out on an unplanned family trip; sounds like it was a repeat of the previous storm with some surfy, sluffy goodness....nice! Really like those old...

Met up with Whiteroom Guardian and spun a Hidden Gully lap as he was giving a couple of Bridger first timers a look around. Thanks for the run!

6 inches of 15% graupelcream and it was a whole new ballgame and one of most fun mornings of the season. Ski on lift 9's all morning.409803

Lifts at Bridger delayed to 11 a.m. at the earliest fyi

Looks a bit more like February, if you can see...

No comparison to swimmy's pics but the walk to the windbuff was worth it yesterday as the Bitter End boundary was blown in and windblasted into a billiard table.

All I can say yeahman is "Yeah, man!" Good for you for getting the goods, sounds like a nice big day of skiing.

Nice shot, Whiteroom! B & W looks good.

The bluebird was beautiful yesterday morning and for a sort of lackluster year so far, the 3 to 4 inch shots we've gotten here and there have skied...

Thanks,swimmy! That’s our boy Og working up a wave of white. Fun morning despite the first big lines at #9. Needed the 15% cream and inch of H2O.

Thanks for the shot, swimmy! No offense to college kids( or their parents), but ski on Slushies sure is nice this time of year…

Bridger skis best on 4 to 5 inches of 9 percent velvet. Still plenty of rocks to hit with a 3 foot base, but some fine skiing to be had.

swimmy getting the goods early this morning on Ptarmigan; yeah buddy!

Nice shots, swimmy! Looks like Winter!

January 26, 1981 takes the all time cake. Since I've been here (1994), looks like December 26, 2002. Other notable late starts were 12/19/87, 12/22/95, 12/22/97, 12/22/06.

This storm over-performed! Viz finally lifted a bit around 11:30 and slushies was pretty much ski on all morning.

Made the trek up to Teton Pass Saturday after work and skied there Sunday, a most worthy getaway!

Great to see him share the shred stoke with his sons!

Magical Monday with the Mrs. Old Ridge was pretty mellow and not too cold at all. 4 hikes, each deeper than the last. Also claiming best day of the season so far. #goodolbowl

Usda (pictured here)and I got a couple hikes in and I agree that it the white circus was worthy.

^^^^That's an anomaly due to Bridger lift being delayed for 2 plus hours for AC and Schlasman's( which can be prone to some lines at times) not being open.

The 32 inches we've received in the past 3 days matches our total January snowfall....

Into the deep end today, lads. Sink or swim....

Great to bust out an early High T with usdatele and Og and Slushies was worth the slight delay. Fantastic day at the good ol' B Bowl!

The best thing about granular windbuff may be that there is no "granular windbuff frenzy" to speak of.
