North Bridgers are sweet! Hey Brad you in this thread any where?

[workinforturns]

Met up with some mags today at bridger, Basewelder and lexi-bell.
Sorry there were no pictures taken we were having to much fun skiing.
got first tracks after the patroller over in northwest passage and it was amazing!

oh and saturday during the clusterfuck FZ, non mag Clarf, and I skied nasal cavity for the first tracks fo the season. it was rocky but good and creamy to make some turns and cliff at the bottom.

Hope everyone else had as good a day as I did!

[FZ]

Watch out for my TOPSHEETS!

[Tye 1on]

The only guy up there who can talk any shit at all is Turk, and you know what he wont cause he is too busy having fun.

Is Mad Mike still haunting those hills? One of the original ridge hippies fo sho...

[cowdog]

Hey you Ridge neocons, just be nice when you come across old, poodling cowdog on the Ridge. God knows how I make it up or down. I usually side slip the road to North Bowl and save my straight lining for that gnarly slope between the lower lodge and Grizzly Ridge. And talk about lard ass. I usually find some hot young tele chicks and have them pull and push me up. OK, that last part is actually a fantasy... Sadly the rest probably isn't too far from the truth.

Looks like a lot of fun up there lately. It is just getting better and better. I'll be up there Friday and then this weekend. I like those early mornings where a mumbling MT walks by and says things like, "I haven't had this bad of a hangover since the 80s." I'm not sure he is good at math, because that would make him like 130 or something for that to be true. I know. I had lots (and I mean lots) of hangovers in the 80s (and 70s).

corn dog, you up for Friday? You there Friday MT?

This is only kind of snow I have partaken during a weekday this winter.

[workinforturns]

hey cowdog, ill be up there if you want to meet up. hope you have some studs on those tires with all the ass holes on the roads.

It was soft and condensed...

starting out the day with some DRCS

takeoff


Hangtime


Impact


And for the record, I stopped 15 feet from the groomer. I hurt my leg so I shot photos the rest of the day.

Found a nice shoulder out of goldeylocks, thats what both of these are.





Bridger is getting better, but was way too crowded for the conditions.

I log this post in honor of our fallen Japanese commrade...

I skied Hidden Gahree with non-mag g-baskett, it was very niice We had to leave early and head to school, but we took our time on the way down to get a few photos.

Pic 1 is Graham des going off the richter scale, and STOMPING

Pics 2 and 3 show me gearing up because it's TIME TO DROP

and Pic 4 is of N.W. passage getting slashed.

[slippy]

Holy shit!!!!!!!! There's no way I'd drop that cliff unless there's a 80" base, minimum.

[layin'downcarves]

I threw all the good shots up on the photo bucket. Clarf looked too sexy in this one, so I had to POST!

weldrFam TR: bridger 2/9-2/23,4,5

the getting there and the getting home sucked but the in-between was pretty dang decent...

2/9 3 kids packed and ready to fly, 3 pets left in the care of 2 different neighbors
the wife workin all night the night before and somehow we were still lookin good on time, until I blew my head gasket(s) on the way to the airport.
Limped it on in and made the plane at the last boarding call, three planes later we made it to the bozone- where it happened to be dumping...

A bluebird powday with 12-13 in 24 and 7-8 overnight of nice dense stuff awaited, but it was a saturday and the entire powstarved hordes were there- they turned away cars for lack of parking by late morning. I timed my slog thru the traffic line and the ticket line and the liftlines beautifully though and found myself in the 1st wave up the late-opening highT, freshies down the rightside of exit was a great way to start the skiing part of the trip...

Stayed at a condo up at bridger from 2/14 thru 2/21 with no internet or cell service but still met up with MT, FZ, workin4turns & saw Xpickles briefly. MY girls of 4&2 skied a lil bit most days while one of us camped out w/the 7mo old buckaroo too... so when skitime happened I blasted right up and skied with whoever I found- mostly all the same gang of yahoos as always, like travelin' back in time sometimes. Got some powfrenzy morinings and some casual 2:30 hikes, saw lots of old friends & it was nice to be thanked for bringin the snow...

FEZ- maybe next time brotha, never made it anywhere but bb
KYA- brad says hey! (we call him daymaker) he bought the house I used to rent
tye1on- yep, skied around madmike a couple afternoons, still fast as ever

Tried to leave 2/23 but after 2hrs on the plane they unloaded us blaming our cancelled flight on a "computer glitch", while we were havin a beer&food in the airport after that we saw warren miller so that was cool to chat him up...
We elected to rebook for the same flight for the next day but then Mpls got hammered so we picked up a flight to cincy where we paid to stay as close to the airport as possible (notsocheap), flew on in finally on 2/25 wearing the same clothes for the 3rd day- we're still waiting for 2 of our bags (the skistuff) to arrive home as they stayed on the original plane which took off 9.5hrs late on fri...

good times, great snow, excellent memories......

[Yonder_River]

Dang, good timing on your trip back...especially given the year they've had.

It's been four years since I've been back to Bozeman in the winter..

[Don Rickles]

Completly agree with you. I also get annoyed with people who are far too busy being core to enjoy themselves and have a tiny bit of patience.

WIth regards to MT being spancered, if thats what you guys were saying, I really don't give a shit. I don't care how good a skier someone is. Does anyone around here give any slack to Tanner Hall for anything he does? It goes both ways though, if you're fun to hang out with, and don't bring people down, then I am happy to ski with you, even if I have to wait 30 seconds a run. I'll never be a pro, so skiing is just about having fun for me. I know I'm not some ubercore shredtastical mcgnarly ripper, and I'm fine with that.

I'm pretty sick of this whole thing though. I think MT and Skid could have handled the situation a bit better, but whatever. Instead of just making thier presence known, they heckled us, so we heckled them. We could have responded better too, but whatever, fuck it.





What the fuck? You want to get us all drunk, and try and have a chinese downhill, all holding hands, down the ridge? I guess you think the best way to settle an argument is to kill everyone involved?

Well that sounds like fun. Count me in. I'll bring a sixer of something tasty, and MT and Skid are welcome to first dibs.

I hope this silly little pissing contest has run its course now, and we can all be the happy, PC, sensitive, touchy feely family that TGR ussually is.

This is more douche than the yeast infection ward at the MSU Hospital.

[Debbie Downer]

You look like a girl, heard you ski like one too.

[GI JONG]

This picture is really good.



PM AKPM for some photography tips, dumbass.
