    It would appear that the Red Boxcar is gone.

    No more sloppy burgers beside the creek.

    Wow, that's unlike anything I've ever seen up there. Kind of a shame. Gonna be some water damaged properties for sale soon.

    Damn that’s crazy, going to be some good disaster relief construction money floating around to get those bridges fixed ASAP.

    Boxcar is still there and I saw a report that they were providing food to people working on mitigation and recovery efforts.

    Northern portion of Yellowstone expected to remain closed for the duration of the summer according to NPS; southern portion TBD (forecast apparently looks dicey this weekend and their project list is already kinda full).


    Oh, and water is back on for Red Lodge west of Broadway, but not on the east side. Still under a boil advisory, though.

    Beartooth Pass conditions?

    It’s on, per the post on Beartooth Basin IG. Tentative opening day on 5/26.

    That looks exceptionally fat to me. I thinks the lens may be flattening it a bit for the panorama, but damn, those cornices are epic.

    Many peeps used to huck those huge, and some still do, but these days they close them a bit for concerns of putting lower skiers at risk of breakage and debris.

    In spring 97 I skied w/ a bunch of jh locs for the opening weekend. The poma wasn't running at all and it was a big spring. I saw Hunt, Haas and Coombs launch the lip like the Hoback roller, seeing who could go farthest.
    It was magical. All three flew flawlessly and stuck the landing within 30 yards of each other. I'm gonna say 120 feet out and maybe 40 feet at the apex.
    The single most amazing launch I've ever seen.
    Not twisty flippy but better than any K&Q launch by far.

    K2's and Fischers and Volkls...

    I think generally one can shoot for Memorial Day pass opening and pray. That's a great fun time to be there but it blows to make plans only to have the pass get snowed over again, the day before opening. It's happened to me a few times.

    I'm shooting for that but...

    Def try and connect with us. Also skiing weekdays is the shit too. Weekends can get busy, maybe even selling out of tickies, if that's possible.

    My $$$ campsite has a sweetspot for van life too. 50' from the fire ring and tentsites beside rock creek's roar.

    Talked to the GM a week ago and he confirmed opening May 26.

    Said it was impossible for the trail sleds to even get up the road a week ago due to heavy snow and avalanches.

    Also, an interesting rumor about the old Lone Peak Tram finding a new home…

    If yer implying that the Can may go to Beartooth, that would be criminal to me.

    Tiny capacity and cost would be better spent on a decent chair top to bottom. And that would have serious ramp up complications on big years.
    2 new pomas would be ideal.
    The main line is steep and sketchy sometimes, not to mention the ever-present possibility of the platter pulling off these days.
    Having that thing pop off 50' below the tippy top would be potentially lethal carnage.

    The word is Beartooth is majority owned by some major Big Sky money these days… like the same players who own the majority of Big Sky.

    Tickets are on sale now


    DJ are you thinking of trying to make it for opening weekend? IIRC when we went 2 years ago we bought our tickets in advance which ended up being a good move as and they did indeed sell out

    Could MDW be good for a mag mini?

    Did the dispersed camping on 421 get mostly wrecked in the flooding last year?
