    blea... stay on north facing aspects until the sun gets warm enough to make it nice. In the morning, hike super couilar, z-chute, colters or whatever northfacing chute you can find. If you dont like to hike, ski exit chute, flippers, or outta sight. I heard hidden was most ill on wednesday. Also heard this week the snow was really fun.

    Probably nothing better, especially economically.

    sposed to snow saturday-sunday.

    have fun

    I think that unless you are willing to hike or enjoy big hard bumps, becoming big slushy bumps, then going back to big hard bumps then continuing to moonlight/bigsky is a better bet.

    bigsky= more expensive version of hard bumps to soft to hard. I don't know, prolly not gonna snow a lot but it might get a couple inches if we are lucky.

    Catbert, you should know more before passing such wind.

    Moonlight Basin and Bridger day rates are within 1 dollar.

    Elevation and aspect make a big difference. The skiing at MLB is still pretty soft and creamy.

    Season pass to other MT area or student ID will get you in for $28 at Moonlight. What's the half-day rate for passholders at Bridger?

    heh.. whoops. I dont even know how much a day pass is there because Bozeman students get a free season pass

    the drive is more expensive ...and so is the food.

    How is moonlight? I expect to be skiing there a lot after bridger closes. still not solid ice in the morning?

    Moonlight wonder.....

    Went to moonlight/big sky this weekend. Both were great for early April skiing. Moonlight was much faster on the flats than big sky was. The headwaters had soft fresh pillow snow that had not been affected by the warm temperatures yet. That run alone was well worth the ticket cost. Thanks guys.

    I mean bozeman High, not montana state. Good to hear the snow was good adman. Bridger was getting a little sketchy as far as avy conditions go last weekend. Barely anything was open by the afternoon.
