WOOT WOOT! Nukin' in Missoula

[toast2266]

Ok thanks. Looking for places that don't necessarily sell skis, but sell outerwear. Schnee's is pretty high end with lots of quality gear from not your ordinary brands (ie places that only sell TNF, Pata, etc).

Nothing much in the flathead in terms of high end outerwear. At least not outside of the normal north face / pata / arcteryx kind of brands.

Any reports at Snowbowl today? Lookout had 28" over the last 24 hours. No 'report' even necessary with that.

Dumped all day. Was great.

I am actually curious if people had to be airlifted off the mountain because they were unable to make forward progress in the flats.

Not a bad day today, surprisingly I got a small wind slab to go on west ridge today.

The bowl certainly did not get as much as lookout, but it was great skiing nonetheless.

Plenty of untracked areas still at 3pm, and some of the turns off the top were nice and deep.

Fingers crossed for remainder of the week!

Fuck me what a morning.

Fuck me what a morning.

Wednesday was better I think...

[yeahman]

Gotta do an airport run to Missoula so will be skiing the Bowl this afternoon and Sunday. Green coat, tan pants, gray helmet with a Beehive Basin Brewery sticker, ask change if you see me and let's do a lap.

yeahman, my apologies for not seeing your message earlier. Was only able to ski the last parts of the day today.

Bad news is that the temps crusted-up the lower faces below 7k earlier this week.

Good news is that the upper reaches are unspoiled, as well as any east/west facing tree slopes on the descent.




Overall it skied surprisingly well in the woods.



Stumbled across this oddity in the woods. Anybody seen this before?

[yeahman]

A little Tree Chute action with senior researcher today, plenty soft in there. Fun to be back on the old stomping grounds. Snowbowl is awesome.

[yeahman]

Jenks, sorry I missed ya, be up there all day tomorrow if you are around. I did bump into Rootskier with one of his little rippers, nice to see him. Good snow today but definitely warmed, would be ideal if the cold temps forecast tonight and tomorrow could suck a little moisture out of the snow...

Pretty brisk day out there, but the showers last night set up right over snowbowl for a bonus day. Took a good lap with yeahman today, unfortunately lost him in the lower gully trees before coming out onto the runout. There was one skier track coming out that way before me, was that you?

I think we have to wait for a reset now, looks like pretty dry forecast for this upcoming week.

Nice to meet you wordbird, that was a sweet lap. I traversed out to Longhorn and waited a few minutes hoping to get a pic of you, then figured you had dropped in earlier. I should have gone your way.

Anyway fun day bell to bell, I am cooked. Here's some random dude in the morning and some late afternoon sun in the bowls.

Where the fuck is that mailbox? I feel like I've skied all over that place, but I've never seen that.

[SUPERIOR]

Had a sweet Saturday banging out laps at Lost Trail.

Was told it was “busy” even though I never waited more than 2 minutes to get on the lift.

Sick little spot with little cliff poppers and pow all day. Had some thigh deep gnar at 2 pm in “Area 51”... lol

How is the nose feeling man? When I saw you at noon there was a significant patch of discoloration on it from the cold. Hope it made it through the rest of the day unscathed.

The lady insisted I take her to the bowl yesterday with all the new snow. Wind chills made for some fun chair rides, but it was a great opportunity for her to work on the deeper-snow skiing.

Out past the nuts. Not sure I could find it again very easily.

[stuckathuntermtn]

She looks like she doesn't have much to work on! Way to go

[yeahman]

Nice pics Jenks! Looks like she's having a great time. It was deeeep yesterday in places for sure. Took my first run with 96 underfoot and I was like no way, there's two foot drifts in west bowl, so I skied straight to the car and grabbed some fat boards and the rest of the day was money. I feel fortunate to have hit a couple of great days on my trip over there.

Haha it was the most laps i've taken in this cold(3 and a half). Was done after meeting you up there, would have liked to do some power lines though I bet they were good. Maybe next weekend.
