killer shot

[jackattack]

Funky snow above tree line. Guess 90 mph gusts can do that. But we found some soft stuff in the trees.

Nice. Is that challenger zone?

[swimmy]

That shot is in the Swifty Zone : )


Sick ass day at the Big. Only 5 of us on first tram.










On our third lap we cruised down into Dakota. Frist tracks down besides patrol and we had it all to ourselves. Really cool.

[Norseman]

wow, outstanding

[shroom]

love that contrast in the last one

[Whiteroom_Guardian]

Fuck me. Chased snow elsewhere and it actually snowed here. Nice work Swim and Tim.

[swimmy]

Thanks!


WRG - for that reason I don’t really travel much to ski unless it is work related. The experience yesterday at Big Sky was magical. Over a foot of fresh, the entire upper mountain was open, and walk-on tram. And no one was going into Dakota so the entire zone was untracked, dreamy pow. Doesn’t happen every day but when it does, it is hard to beat.


Just wished the light was a little better for photo quality. I’ve decided to enter the shootout and the deadline is Friday. You can submit 5 photos. I think I have 4 decent shots but could really use one more...

[Whiteroom_Guardian]

Ughh I've got all kinds of shit to do today for work etc otherwise I would be down there. Full bird day it looks like. Tomorrow or Friday you skiing?

[swimmy]

Same boat. I’ve skied past two days and need to focus on adulting today.Plan is to head back tomorrow.

[swimmy]

I caved.

[Trackhead]

Swimmy's last two posts are hilarious. Bravo.

[yeahman]

Missed you swimmy. North side laps with my 19 yo, doesn't get much better than that! She snapped this one.

Heard some dire news about a tony c who lives in Livingston. Hoping for better news here but my friend is saying ski racer legendary dude had a heart attack and passed.

Fuck the skiing at BS looks so good right now, but I gotta work rest of this week after being in ID/WY skiing for 4 days.

Made a visit back to the homeland for some semi spring skiing. Up high was still good and patio beers felt fantastic. Miss ya BB.

Man that was some five-star storm skiing today. Got first chair on Ramcharger and had several laps of untracked cowpow. Even after it got tracked out the skiing was great on the lower mountain. Did one tram and it was full on milkjug survival skiing. Fun day.

[swimmy]

Dang, wished I could’ve gone yesterday but responsibilities caught up so I worked and webcams all day.

Today could also be good. I’ll be in the lineup early.

Great photos. MRI results discussed today. Is it bad when the PA going over the images asks casually,

so, can recall any time when you might have broken your neck?

Looking for a Neurosurgeon right now to consult. Bozeman has limited choices so maybe Billings or Great Falls or ??? Bueller? We are both in agreement that since this has been going on from around 2013 that it probably isn't emergent, I am ok to ski, bike, gym. No Chiros, I stopped letting my guy crack my neck a while ago and then he retired so no biggie. OTOH the skiing today was pretty good and the chair people were pleasant to chat up.

[Shredeagle]

I know you rider, gonna miss me when Im gone

Chiropractors are really good at causing vertebral artery dissections when “ adjusting” the cervical spine.

That sounds... less than ideal.

Great angle Shred, love that pic.

Considering that FORTY MILLION Americans see chiropractors, you'd think we would have heard more about this if it were a real problem. But don't believe me, believe the insurance companies, who charge medical docs 10x more for malpractice insurance than they charge chiros. Signed, somebody who has been managing chronic back pain for thirty-five years and owes their life to good chiropractic care.

That said, they are not all the same, and you do need to search around and find one whose methods work for you. This takes more effort and research than most people are willing to do, unfortunately. I could write a book on it.
