18BBi Bozeman: B-Team Tryouts, March 2/3/4, 2018
Is there any way to avoid that dip? Run looks like a nice little zip, but that hole at the end seems like a one way ticket to Snap City

^^Did you maybe miss the very last line of that story?

Damn I miss Bozeman and BB/Big Sky. I was there winters 2011-2016. Both are amazing and very contrasting mountains. The skiing off the tram is fast and fun, the ridge mostly tight technical.
Make sure to hit Momma Mac's on your way up to big sky for breakfast (tip: call it in so you can just run in and grab it). Paradise/Stump farm are usually untouched and have some fun turns to be had if you're doing hot laps on swifty. The Gullies are kick ass on a good day and have some decently sendable things on em. But watch out for the traverses under them across the bowl.
Saber slice at BB has claimed many. It looks easy but it spits you right into traverses with a couple young pines right in your line if you don't make the turn. I've seen a few femurs go snap on em.
Actually it sucks don't go there....

09-27-2017, 07:48 AM #342Slushman's is like it's own bonus-gnar resort on the fringe and has more of an ever-shifting character with its wind exposure and no grooming... again, a few familiar lines but some mystery there still for this cat.

This looks tempting. I think I'll try to make the trip.

The "D Route" map could almost pass as a joke given the number of named runs that appear to be nothing more than a big ass cliff band (#24?). And how about #28, better bring your A game, and maybe a parachute. Never skied Bridger, it's on the bucket list though. Looks like too much fun, somewhere you certainly want a guide to make the most of it though.

Without posting the map, know one knows what you are talking about. Gotta link?
Local guide is key, no cliff signs or any signs on The Ridge to be found. And there are rocks everywhere on a normal year, a local can help you avoid some scraped out sketchy straightlines you can get funneled into unknowingly.

Once things get to around 65-80 inch base, there are so many sneaks, lines within lines, spines, mini straightlines and airs that there ends up being a lot more cool stuff to put together than you seen on those maps that are really just basic generalizations of the terrain...
The biggest issue is, most of the really cool stuff is of the first, fast, and fucked variety for most mortals. There are great little spines that form with a series of denser storms that offer amazing little variations at times, but other times those are just slanted rock or cold smoke or sugar on rock. It just varies so much within the seasons and between different seasons. The best way to approach a lot of that stuff with a group of friends is to kind of "ski alone together", to fan out a bit and meet your partners where lines funnel back into the open areas. A lot of the really neat stuff just isn't that sick to follow people down, but by all means if you are of the young dumb and full of cum demographic, go nuts!
That is just one of the things about Bridger, it doesn't reveal the best of itself until you put in the effort to get to know what's beyond each horizon line for yourself, it takes time, trial, and error, but the rewards can be pretty sweet when you start building up some of your own little "go to's" for various conditions. At first, you just end up making a couple turns and stopping a bunch so it can feel small and broken up, but the more you can connect various blind rollovers, do little airs instead of traverses, etc, the fun increases exponentially.
The coolest thing is that after 15 yrs here and learning my own little go to's, I still have fantasy/dream lines in each zone of the mountain that when everything lines up right, it's just a matter of if I have the balls and the proper visualization to do it. I can unequivocally say that I will never in my lifetime do all that might even be possible for me, let alone what is now likely impossible, and that is more than enough to keep the obsession going, ullr willing."The skis just popped me up out of the snow and I went screaming down the hill on a high better than any heroin junkie."

Try the same zone as 23-27 but pictured in link as D6 and D3. It's not an exact match for lines but it is the same zone. It's not a full cliff like it seems in the map, but it's still kinda gnarly.

Thanks Kai.
