[stuckathuntermtn]

You I take it you guys are having a normal winter over there?
Damn this low altitude!
Sick shots.

[Shadam]

yo ODHGABFE ...

those shotz are orsum!

I'd like people to post a 3 shot TR.
or more, but everyone seems e hiding in their local threads making it hard to find stoke

[ODHGABFE]

Good point, shadam. Thanks!

As of Jan. 3 did a rogue storm hit Lone Peak and Lone Peak only with 8" of new in the last couple of days per Big Sky's Snow Report or are they measuring windblown?

Windblown, it seems. Not sure that qualifies as legitimate new snow. But they ... it's Big Sky. That's sort of their M.O.

[BobbyBill]

Well I guess that explains the 400+" seasonal average claim. Despite the longstanding and chronic snow report deficiencies, there is no disputing the great terrain there and the wind generally helps keep things smooth.

[Bobcat Sig]

If any of you hosers are bored, would like your skis tuned or just want some cheap beer, grad on down to the Pour House tonight. The free wax & tune night continues. I'll be there until 8.

Oh, Bozone and Mystery Ranch are giving away three Saddle Peak colab packs. So there's that...

It actually did snow about 6-8 above 10,000 or so and 6 in the meadow with a dusting at elevations in between. Kind of a weird isolated little storm. Good shredding if you knew where to look.

Hit up some of the local trade routes this week. Definetly not glisstopia up there but you can string together a few good turns amidst the wind carnage.

[Leftyt]

Anybody headed to Big Sky for half price week?

[BobbyBill]

Thanks for the update Scree. I know Lone Peak gets/makes it own weather at times, it's just hard to believe the snow report there sometimes. Cheers and happy shredding.

A few shots from off the Tram and Challenger on December 27th and 28th.

[shreddacord]

nice TOne, I think I wa in the same spot a few days ago

And yet Moonlight reported 0 new snow. I find it a bit suspect that Big Sky would get 8 inches and Moonlight would get absolutely nothing, not even a trace. I get it that Lone Peak is often subject to wind deposits. Still ...

The stoke has been great, keep it coming. I'm thinking of heading towards the Park tomorrow to see what's doin' down there. Stoke to come. I promise.

You finally in town?

Leaving in the AM, only 24 hrs of driving standing in my way.

Never found Big Sky to over report ever if anything in the past 16 years I have gone it is always underreported..

I guess though YMMV

[CallMeAl]

Here's some SW MT (and Canadia) stoke from this season. Episode One of Bomb Snow TV:

[tone capone]

Yeah, get it while it's good! Now you see why people at Bridger knock each other over to get to the pow, they know it might not snow again for months.

There were a few good soft lines at Big Sky today.

There were a few good soft lines at Big Sky today.

The real question is under or over-reporting.

[Bobcat Sig]

Headed out Saturday with a few lurkers. Cold as balls when hopped out of the truck; below zero.
