Fool!!!!

Does anyone have any info on what the road conditions out to Hoodoo are like? How far can you make it out there right now?

[Harry]

I'm sure there are some good bootfitters at Gull but I'm specifically looking for someone with experience with the TLT5 boot. I'm guessing at the Trailhead but trying to see if anyone here has had success with any bootfitter in particular.

The son of the former owner of Pipestone works at the Trailhead now. He did a bootfitting on some Scarpa tele boots for a buddy of mine. Buddy was happy with it.

Thanks for the input, I know him but not very well. Wasn't aware he was now at the Trailhead.

Does snowbowl have a policy on skinning up while they're not open? What about early in the morning before the lifts start running?

Good day at the bowl yesterday. Fun bc today. Still needs a lot more snow.

[stuckathuntermtn]

Yesterday was alright except I didn't feel like dealing with the sapling tops. Oh, and feeling like I wad gonna die.horribly when Lavalle finally came down. Fucking Snowbowl. Scariest lift ride ever. I need a bc setup.

[406]

another good day at the bowl. Nothing like first tracks on west bowl and so few people that could get them on west ridge also.

[stuckathuntermtn]

Is it starting to shape up now? I guess I missed this storm cycle. Broke. No pass. So yeah, life is sweet. Anyone headed to LT this thurs? Might go with my buddy.

[cloud cult]

Pretty. Looks like your dog is stoked too. Man, I need some slackcountry gear.

[RoooR]

If you didn't hike up to the bowls with Lavelle closed today you missed out. Me best runs of the season by far.

[catwoman]

wow, is this thread dead this year? Does anybody know how LT is faring with this heat and sun? I heard the bowl is boilerplate.

Greetings Catwoman; no the thread is not dead, but I have spent little time on TGR as of late, and I am barely skiing at all this season, so I haven' been possessed of great knowledge of the Bowl, and dropping great wisdom about the conditions like: "if you don't go you don't know."

I do know that it was sunny yesterday and it isn't today, so it's likely to be, you guessed it, variable conditions, leaning toward the firm side.

Oh, and since that was your first post, shouldn't we have been seeing a steamy photo with your post?

[kevino]

Any of you Missoula people interested in touring saturday?

[406]

fun day at look out. How was the bowl? Thinking Disco tomorrow.

[Rasputin]

The new snow helped at The Bowl yesteday, but one still scraped off the refreeze beneath it.

[stuckathuntermtn]

Anyone doing the $24 ticket at Disco during the Superb Owl?

[406]

end up going to the bowl today, sure was fun

[tetzen]

The bowl was sure sweet today. Best turns I have had up there in a while.
