That poncho is a thing of beauty.


Guesses on peak gusts on the Ridge and Lone Peak Summit today? My guess: High....very high.

Coral reef on a scale of 1 - 10 tomorrow? 11?

Just checked lone peak. They're high, but not that high. Max gust was 58.

Wow. A lot lower than I thought. I was guessing 70s-80s+

Yeah, I'm kinda surprised. Some of the stations around Whitefish were getting into the 80's, and usually we're not that windy.

Mount Sentinel in Missoula apparently hit 125 with a gust today. Been blowing hard all morning by the airport.

CDA got pounded. SIL in San Juan Island has been without power since yesterday.

I bet the front up north was a bit breezy.

Super fun up there, no speed limit granular windbuff. Wish I made it to Slushee's.
Tomorrow could be sick or it could be sastrugi

Oh! A wild sastrugi reference! I had never heard that word until it stumped my Quiz Night team at the Press Box in Missoula years ago. There were at least two other skiers on the team, too.

The best thing about granular windbuff may be that there is no "granular windbuff frenzy" to speak of.

Spent the last couple days in the Tetons harvesting windblown nuclear pow, and now it looks like BB MLK day is sold out / will be crazy.

Cabin booked at Lost Trail if anyone is interested in a Sunday / Monday ski.

This is the year I really wanted to ski Bridger, but nature and the reservation system have other plans!

Fingers crossed the Sunday storm comes in colder than forecast...

[Shredeagle]

It all rolls into one
And nothing comes for free

Fun shredding today. Thanks dudes. Bridger bowl still coolest place around.

In the end there's still that song
Comes crying like the wind
Down every lonely street
That's ever been

Were so lucky. BB skis well at a 24" base. Being able to hike to d route is fulfilling. Its been incremental, and now that we have the full mtn, we're set. I'd encourage other mags to head out there and break up the strangeness for us all. If even for a lap or 3. Gives ya something to do.

Isis, oh Isis, you mystical child.
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
I still can remember the way that you smiled.
On the fifth day of May in the drizzlin' rain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your daddy he's an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade
He'll teach you how to pick an' choose
And how to throw the blade
And he oversees his kingdom
So no stranger does intrude
His voice it trembles as he calls out
For another plate of food
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below


Visions of Johana was my Bridger drive inspiration last year. This winter it's the entire Desire album.

Hope you fuckbois waxed

Trying to learn the storm patterns here. Is it pretty common for the little belts and only the little belts to get absolutely dumped on? Looks like 24''+ coming... Why does it always have to land on a holiday?! Sounds like showdown monday/tuesday will be good.

[toastybroski]

Also, anyone know of a bootfitter in helena. My searches have yielded nil.

USDAtele is the resident weather pattern expert here... but I’d say not to my knowledge. I think this winter has been particularly cruel to the Bridgers.

Contemplating an early Monday AM excursion up to Showdown based on Sunday afternoon webcams.

[toastybroski]

I think I will as well. It is not a fun storm drive but I bet it will be worth it.

Awesome day chasing IWASCOOLERWHENITELE'D around Bridger!!!

Peace, Love and D-Route
