NSR: Anyone been to Copper City lately? Ridable?

NSR: Anyone been to Copper City lately? Ridable?

FWIW...When I drove by there Sunday on my way home from BS the wheat fields were still fully covered in snow. Will be going by again tomorrow so I will let you know what it looks like now.

SWMBA says CC still snow covered and a ways off. I have also been wondering about L&C, ranger said still lots of snow.

Also been wondering about the 3 Forks Golf Course, no joy there either.

Got as far as my locker today, ran into another friend who said quite possibly the worst day of the season, strong words. I had to look at a job site anyway so the day wasn't a total loss.

We kept hearing the snow was bad today but you just had to go where they sun can't where it is holding up well. Super fun day and a wrap on our trip. Apologies for not reaching out to more local maggots like I wanted to... just hard when I am leading around my own family some of the time and hanging with a mixed group the rest of the time.

Stepson in headwaters today. Fkna glorious. Not the best form in the world but he has moose like muscles that make him solid on anything. Daughter wrapping things up headed to house skiing too damned fast on the groomers for me to get a decent shot.


Till next time...stepson shot this of me coming out of a hw chute today. If this is as bad as it gets around here you guys are lucky af.

Figured snow was "bad" today....relatively speaking of course. Gonna get worse before it gets better. Would be a good time to go ride bikes somewhere. I might actually have to go to UT to ride bikes soon. Watching crankworx and tinkering on the bike have got me juiced again for brown pow.

Met up with Detuned and lady friend for some fast and furious chatter-roy laps this morning. The sun flirted with softening the snow, but it clouded up and snowed for awhile instead. Off to work for awhile.

Cheers to talisman for the buddy pass connect today, we had a really fun morning getting the aforementioned firm groomer tour of the lower mountain. Definitely need to get out next season for an extended stay to explore all that mountain has to offer!

Man, you're not kidding. Right around now would be a great break between winter and big line season. It's not Eastern skiing, but it ain't great.

You guys have any corn?

Debating a 3 day stretch for this next week or the one after. Later's better for me. Ideally tu/we/th, so to make legit turns with Harry. Need more of those. Connecting with you usual suspects is what I wanna try and coordinate. If ya know yer schedule that far out, let's try and connect.

Speed and Space, baby.

Good corn today, even got to ski a tram lap with my 12er who has only been at BS once since Christmas. I plan to be here April 3-4 Djongo...hoping for some resets between now and then. Will def be up for some skiing if you are here.

Man this mountain lost a lot of snow since last weekend. Not dire yet but we need to stop the bleeding soon. Was fun skiing Andesite till 5 today.

Next week would be better for me. This week my days off are dedicated to getting my car issues sorted out.

Either way, I have some full-ride scholarship lift tickets for you.

A tour d' smokeshack is in order.

My days off that week will be Tuesday & Thursday.

[Djongo Unchained]

Sounds good; I'll plan on seeing you next week. Tentatively in on Mon. eve. ski tu/we/th. then back to JH on Thurs. afternoon. Will PM to tighten the plan.

Yay!!!!

If other locs not able to ski, maybe an apres ski shindig for a drink or two...

Talisman - you gonna be around? Hope to ski ya.

Yesterday was an amazing corn fest thanks to the sun making an strong appearance. A week of sun and no snow is starting to cause wet slides and get the rocks exposed. I am on the road for work most of this week, but will be around for most of the following week. I can't match Harry's full boat scholarship, but DU is a very deserving scholar.

Any guesses on what Harry's new ride will be? I'm guessing one of those Bentley Bentaygas SUVs. It will be fun tying elk quarters to the top of that next October.

You have a place to stay plus free lift tickets too. All the trip will cost you is a tank of gas. Jah provides.

LOL. Race teams are in town this weekend and on Saturday a number of JHMR racers ran afoul of the Patrol. One of them was Captain Benny's kid...

[Talisman]

If you are going to drive all the way to MT, ask for a better hall pass than Blue Room! Harry can get you a few better places with nicer views than what you have pictured.

[Bunion 2020]

In other news, the Gallatin was fishing nice this afternoon.

Even some midges about if you are into that sort of thing.

Enjoyed having lunch with the Yeahman Family.

Enjoyed having lunch with the Yeahman Family.

Yes! We did too.

Good groomers at Moonlight this morning. After lunch did a few Cold Springs laps with the 12er and that was the best snow we found. Then went poking around in the woods off Hangman and found this little oddity using ghosthop's map. Anybody know the name?
