^^^ Well then I was wrong, mine was bigger.
Still a big slide though.
No shit. Amazing that we are sitting right at average snowpack cause it sure doesn't feel like it.I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

There will still be good skiing on the darkside today. 1/64" will be just enough to re-fill some holes. If I wasn't working I would be shredding with maggots!

Fun day skiing cruisers at the Really big. Finally had some visibility to show my friends from Maine around. One comment was, "Its like Snowbird/Alta had a love child". To which I replied, terrain wise yes, snow quantity, not so much but we make the best of it.
And yes that Crown on the NSS is impressive as hell.
Big Sky if you are listening, can you tell F&B that it would really help if you had more than 1 cashier at the Madison during lunch rush.I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

No skiing for me this weekend. Instead, the sled is loaded and heading out for day 1. A friend and I are going to scout terrain south of Big Sky.
To get in the proper frame of mind, feel like I need to cue up some metal and slam a bunch of Red Bull. Motorsports ftw

If you are new to snowmo, be prepared to dig.
A lot.

Fantastic time skiing at big sky the last two days! Big shout out to whiteroom guardian and neat for showing me around the hill on my first day up there! Those two fucking rip and it was a blast chasing em around the mountain. And dammmmn is big sky legit, what a mountain! Great terrain with good snow, I was stoked to visit and hope to make it up again this year.

Has the term Moonlight left the nomenclature?
-

Operated by Big Sky. So while the Madison area is still Moonlight the operation is Pure Boyne.
Wait there were restaurant at the base and on the mountain at big sky?! Could have fooled me... Most mom and pop ski areas have more of a centralized welcoming base area than big sky IMO.
BTW you managed to fall in with a fast crowd, those guys do indeed rip. When/if you make it back this way, give a shout.I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Fun day. Spent a lot of time trying to getting on one ski and practice counter steering. The guys in the videos make it look so easy
For fun, I dug a pit on an E facing aspect. We know the snowpack has poor structure and we were not going into avalanche terrain. But I'm kind of a snow nerd and wanted to see what was happening.
Snow depth was 135 cm. Initial test went ectx.
The bottom 50 cm was sugary weak junk. It was just falling out of the pit wall. So I cleared the top 2' down to a weak layer and retested. Got it to propagate on the depth hoar.
Not sure how that test would be scored but it confirmed poor structure and poor stability. Might be hard to trigger but if you do the whole thing is going. Kind of what we've been seeing all year with deep slab avalanches.
Anyway, I'm worked and gonna be sore as shit tomorrow

Made it up to BB for a couple of hours. Early on vis was tough
So we mostly played in the trees and the skiing was great.
Super steezy in the low angle pow

BB was very nice today, and lots of happy kids charging the day off which was good to see.

I agree with the three previous posts, BB (particularly Ridge laps) were skiing very well today.

Anyone have a line on getting Big Sky tickets for an even marginally reasonable price?
Meeting up with some friends there this weekend and just checked ticket prices. Holy fuck those have gone up in price in the last couple years. 3 days of skiing is gonna cost me almost as much as my season pass in Whitefish.

Saw this on Craigslist:
https://bozeman.craigslist.org/tix/d...064162916.html
EDIT: There's another ad on there cheaper, but not a 406 area code and looks like a scam maybe.
