WOOT WOOT! Nukin' in Missoula

[RootSkier]

What time has the corn harvest been starting the past few days?

[S_jenks]

Definitely starting earlier and earlier each day this high pressure stays. But near noon today it’s still scratchy up-high, corny down-low.





Easy to have fun with it either way.

This sucks. MoZ is already getting ridden, and it's a little soft, but honestly, I'm thinking of riding up there tomorrow.

Get my stimmy tomorrow and 2nd shot the 29th. If I take a trip to find some snow, where should I go? Jackson? Tahoe? SLC?
Need to get my passport, so Canada is out.

Don't ride Mo-Z, it's totally muddy after it thaws and getting trashed by assholes who should know better.

Canada is out regardless - border is still closed, even for the vaccinated.

The last week has continued the corn cycle, and has yielded some good turns. Even went for one last tour up at Marshall before the snow melted out completely at the bottom.



Snowbowl was a delight as usual. Pitchers on the porch at LR has been a riot as well.







But goddamn we need some snow in the lower elevations to shore up the snowpack. Longhorn had a nice skid mark punching through the middle near the bottom.

love the pink chair photo.

Is snowbowl really closing April 4th?

[S_jenks]

No, they are going till the 11th now. Definitely starting to get thin down low, with grizzly and Longhorn already closed

[S_jenks]

Lots of bowl vouchers on craigs list, tickets. Pay the difference ,student for adult?

[406]

thanks man, but likely will not be heading down south.

Yeah, I will play the craiglist game after the weekend, assuming someone else doesn't have some to sell prior. Kind of funny the people asking what they paid for them, but I guess those are the unsold ones. I would be using them next We and/or Th.

That reminds me of the last day, a few years back, when a guy was standing on the side of the road, by the mailboxes, waving down cars going by, trying to sell his coupons.

Skinned up Snowbowl yesterday, beautiful day and nice turns down west ridge. Nice and smooth with new inch. Pretty thin down low. Going up to ride the lift today.

[S_jenks]

We’re definitely in end-of-season mode here, with only a few remaining pathways to the bottom that aren’t melted out. Still, turns are turns and it’s hella fun with the sunshine.







Since most of Lavelle was dust-on-crust, it was a top-to-bottom kind of day. The early afternoon brought great corn the whole way down, with some bare patches to boot.







Get it while you still can.

[yeahman]

Sweet. Love me some Snowbowl pics.

Yeah those tracks under the Lavelle lift look...interesting.

[stuckathuntermtn]

At least we made it past Easter. See ya Sunday for the party!

[S_jenks]

Season closeout today had a laundry list of items:

- refrozen coral reef with a light dusting made for some leg-burning carves.
- heavy snow at times on Lavelle teasing everyone after a super dry March.
- the free BBQ burger cooked a hard as leather, and coming with a side of ice cold baked beans in a plastic ramekin. Seriously, WTF?
- costumed riders all across the mountain generally making for a great closing day vibe.
