    Yeah I watched a few racers, it was cool. Skiing was pretty good too, excellent coverage for early December, all lifts open.

    Forecast for Big Belts has improved a bit......it'll all blow away in the process.

    My wife and I went logging road xc in the Little Belts years ago. I believe we drove up Spring Creek Road off Hwy 12 on the south side of the mountains till we couldn't drive any farther because, then started skiing.

    More on the way for the Big Belts, might try to get up there later this week to poke around. Need a sled again, or perhaps tracked ATV. Going to hold off on buying either this season and see what this place requires (low snow fall, tracked vehicle might be better for dirt road to snow line approaches).

    I have bogged down most wheeled or tracked mountain machines known to man in the super faceted early season Montucky snow.

    But, I reckon a combo of tracked four wheeler, (or even a burly 3x3) for early season and then sled for late season is a winner.

    Extra scratchy. Spent the night up there so figured I would ski some today. 3 laps and out. Woof. 6-8"+ needed to cover up the man made that's starting to turn yellow.

    The manmade is from the sewage treatment plant so maybe it was yellow to begin with.

    Reminds me of the Poconos man made I grew up skiing. Basically just super hard frozen piss water. Sharp edges are your friend!

    Anyone want to take bets on Bridger opening day? First to guess the correct opening day, I'll buy you a beer at the griz. Scheduled to open Friday and I give that about a 1% chance of happening...

    The BB Patrol Director called me today to check on references for a guy from MLB/BS he has hired. I asked him what he was doing? "Watching it snowmake" was the reply.
    I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

    They haven’t built the system yet. They have the permit, but they’re still working on engineering spec approval.

    Whitefish opening day just got bumped back. First time (in as long as anyone can remember) that happened. These damn inconvenient truths can frig off.

    yup, current snowmaking at Big Sky is using Lake Levinsky, (according to a stoked skier snowmaker dude I was chatting with on the trolley)

    I thought that it was YC that was going to use the shitty greywater..? ColoRado does...

    Same, have a long, multi-year history of epics in Hyalite Canyon LONG before it was plowed trying to get past the dam to shorten the approach for ice routes. Breaking chains, walking out, skiing down the entire canyon, etc......That canyon was always interesting in the early 90's.

    TH, what came of the tracked Samurai? I remember reading about that and seeing your pics and was always impressed, seemed fun.

    Almost looks like October with the 2 inches of snow that fell last night at 6800 feet. Heading out to tackle the Pocono style slope conditions. Yellow snow always reminds me of Frank Zappa.

    Dreamed I was an eskimo
    Frozen wind began to blow
    Under my boots and around my toes
    The frost that bit the ground below

    It was a hundred degrees below zero...
    And my mama cried
    And my mama cried
    Nanook, a-no-no
    Nanook, a-no-no
    Don't be a naughty eskimo

    Save your money, don't go to the show
    Well I turned around and I said oh, oh oh
    Well I turned around and I said oh, oh oh
    Well I turned around and I said ho, ho
    And the northern lights commenced to glow

    And she said, with a tear in her eye
    Watch out where the huskies go,
    And don't you eat that yellow snow
    Watch out where the huskies go,
    And don't you eat that yellow snow
