    Maybe, but their ads typically don't show up on the website, for the obvious reason that their website is NEVER updated.

    most shocking part is they have an "advertising agency"...I'm guessing a couple students working for a discounted season pass.

    Nope, it's Spiker Communications, one of the bigger ad agencies in Missoula. They do shit for Teva, Paws Up, the Stock Farm, etc. They think of themselves as a big deal. And Wes Spiker is a noted douchebag.

    Quoted for truth. Guy is a putz, I used to deal with him a lot 15-20 years ago. I doubt he has changed for the better.

    The ad is just plain stupid, it has nothing to do with skiing and it's not even funny. I think Wes got punked by those so-called "ad people" he showed it to for approval. How could anybody with a brain not see this coming? Unbelievable.

    They seem like a real piece of work, per their website.

    Doubtful, the pass party is totally separate from their normal pass sale process.

    If the storm forecast plays out, you may be able to snag some turns way up high late this week.

    I'm not holding up my hopes until we get closer to Thanksgiving.

    Supposedly people are skiing top to bottom on big mountain. Haven't been up there myself, and I'm sure they're sticking to lower angle terrain and rock skis, but with the snow forecast for the week, might be sort of ok pretty soon.

    Upper elevations of the Missions likely got hammered judging by the snotel

    I could see the most desperate being able to do that.

    It's usually a decent place for pre-season turns, partly due to the fact that it's basically all-grass on the lower half of the mountain. Definitely remember November laps where the top half was money, but the bottom parts were true survival skiing.

    I think it's fine. FS land. I've seen uphillers there


    My snow boner seems to have knocked Stuart Mountain Snotel offline. Must be a lot up there. Hm...
    No longer stuck.

    Coverage was okay last evening above about 6K'. Lower angle snow covered roads were totally fun. Steeper grassy slopes were okay, but rock skis recommended. Pretty much "game on" above 7K'.

    Hell yeah man! Quite the setup you got going on there- Do you love it/hate it?

    Getting the BC gear readied up over here. This storm seems to be the green light.

    The ski setup is an old pair of sticks that rarely make an appearance these days; only when base damage is pretty much a given. The bike setup is okay, but less than ideal. the wide tires are nice, but the small diameter wheels are limiting for riding in deeper ruts. The front shock on it is completely weak. It bottoms out easily and I can’t find a way to stiffen it. I wish it had a rigid fork instead. The motor gave me issues for the first time last night. It would slip when trying to go up anything steep, even though it has climbed steep grades without issue before. I am not sure if the cold and moisture had something to do with it yet or not. I would have done just as well on a non-motorized fatty. I purchased the e-bike primarily as a skiing access vehicle. It was about the cheapest one I could find and as usual, you get what you paid for. If there is a ‘next one’ it will have fat 29” tires, a more reliable motor, and possibly even 2WD.
