WOOT WOOT! Nukin' in Missoula

After skiing yesterday slop, I would highly recommend double fisting double Jack and Cokes. Don't get me wrong I had a few good turns (mostly on up top, Angel Face and Chicken) but the rest was, well......super mashers. Take some quaffing pics!

Rallied today and it was wildly variable. Deep, untracked, and sticky. better where it had been skiied.

AND then . . . . THUNDERSNOW!!!! they closed the lifts while it blew threw. It was snowing larger-than-pea-size, but less-dense-than-ice groppel with thunder booming all around. And then it changed to 1-2 inch fluff flake that made us feel like we were gonna get another foot of fresh and then it ended. Chairs ran again, we skiied and boarded on with open containers, pizzas were made and eaten, pretty par for a saturday really.

I like your spirit. I may stop by and give a few lessons... if I can stop my Elan 203's that is. Just look for the mullet

**Rasputin** · 04-12-2009, 10:12 AM

I'll be there today, and be quite obvious (I'll be in white). There's gonna be the usual kegger/bonfire at the triple J ranch (Turstenjack's) later on, untill the wee hours.

A little belated, but what the hell... A few closing day pics.

I told myself I wouldn't start drinking until at least noon. With that in mind, I managed to hold out until 10:15. The Gelande Quaffing table got put into use by around 11:00, which meant that I was pretty drunk by 1ish. We toughed it out and maintained the buzz well into the evening, but now my sweet one piece is sticky and covered in dried beer.

One of many pre-noon quafs:

There're freshies in them thar hills.

**mtskier** · 11-11-2009, 11:43 AM

lookout pass opens on friday. not super exciting, but its a start.

**nateski** · 11-11-2009, 11:54 AM

relatively exciting, though. any idea how much terrain will be open?

**mtskier** · 11-11-2009, 12:00 PM

just the front side chair.

lookout was solid today. i think it was my earliest lift serve day ever.

i love the mix of uber steeze and hunting gear, that only lookout offers up.

**Leshphilling77** · 11-24-2009, 03:04 PM

lookout just got a bunch of snow it looks like.

Im lookin to head basically anywhere thursday or more likely friday (i sorta have thanksgiving plans but they could be put on hold for freshies). Anyone have an idea of what will be the best option?? only ones I even know of that will be open are look out and big sky. big sky is a trek but i could maybe work in a bozeman visit for a night.

**RootSkier** · 12-04-2009, 07:49 PM

The t bar is open this weekend! RAD.

Against my better judgement I might go just to pick up my pass so I'll have it if/when it ever snows.

THE FUCKING SUNRISE BOWL!!!!!! IT'S ON BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

or i suppose the 4" rule at Lookout might in effect.

IT'S KINDA SORTA NOT REALLY ON BITCHES!!!

Why don't you quit whining and come ski the ridge.

**Rasputin** · 12-05-2009, 10:05 AM

FYI Rootski, the t-bar has an average pitch of 23 degrees!

It's a training day, one or two dozen laps to shake off the rust.

**toast2266** · 12-05-2009, 05:33 PM

Did they actually manage to open on time this year, or did ski patrol sleep in like last year's 11:00 opening?

**stuckathuntermtn** · 12-05-2009, 07:10 PM

the forecasted windchills and a lot of work coming into the final stretch of the semester are keeping me from going anywhere tomorrow.

Yes, the t-bar opened on time, but last year they didn't open the chair until 1pm.

**RootSkier** · 12-11-2009, 03:27 PM

I remember noon last year...but far more importantly...

ALTHOUGH UNCERTAINTY STILL EXISTS...MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW IS
BECOMING MORE POSSIBLE SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY NIGHT AS AN
ARCTIC FRONT MAY SHIFT WESTWARD ACROSS THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AND
STALL SUNDAY. MEANWHILE AN APPROACHING PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM IS
EXPECTED TO SPREAD SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE OVER THIS
ARCTIC FRONT AND SUPPORT A PROLONGED PERIOD OF MODERATE TO HEAVY
SNOW IN BOTH VALLEYS AND MOUNTAINS.

**senior researcher** · 12-11-2009, 11:29 PM

Deer&elk were down low and together at sunset. New studded snows on work rig ,this afternoon. SOOOOOO.......will it please snow!

**stuckathuntermtn** · 12-12-2009, 02:29 PM

I guess we could get a foot over the weekend. I'm thinking of checking out lookout on monday.

**My Pet Powder Goat** · 12-12-2009, 06:18 PM

Looks Like it's puking right now at the Div. 1 championship game on ESPN!

2mins left tied game at 17pts, grizz charging past the 50yd line

been a great game and looks like it would be a blast to be there, GO GRIZZ!*

*I got more connections to the Bobcats, but they kinda suck at the game of football
