If you got stuck you should have given me a shout, I would have brought coffee up for you.

Me and Nest likely going to be up at BBowl today... 6 inches of the lightest snow I’ve seen in Bozeman today

I'm procrastinating with coffee and breakfast but since I'm not working today I'll be making my way to bbowl. Prob hike with inversion.

Road closed from Mammoth to Tower in the Park currently. Still dumping in here in Cooke. Always looking for more partners out this way...

Stoke from last week... halfway through my first double backflip:

**Norseman** · 02-25-2019, 10:20 AM

Woah, rad. With a crowd, too

Will be skiing really big Thursday-Saturday this week. Long shot I know, but is there a way to find a lift ticket discount? Much appreciation and beers for the intel! Also would love to link up for a few runs if any mags are around

I can help you out Thursday morning with a bring-a-buddy pass ($80) if you can meet me at 8:30. If you are late I will be gone. PM me if that works.

Bridger abides! Cold weather kept the crowds away but the snow is good good good. Felt like Monday's did 20 years ago.

I had to slow way down because my knees are about done, but damn it is good out there.

**I Skied Bandini Mountain** · 02-25-2019, 02:49 PM

I slowed way down due to wax.

**elesquiador** · 02-25-2019, 03:30 PM

Incredible day at bridger. Super light snow and DEEP. No crowds whatsoever. Cold, but a bit of inversion kept it manageable.

Got the text thanks, and yes I will help your faction topple the Maduro regime. Is Monday OK?

**mntlion** · 02-25-2019, 04:31 PM

BB was nice today (even cold for my Canadian standards) skied 9-1 was cold smoke, just like home

BS tomorrow

**Bunion 2020** · 02-25-2019, 05:02 PM

Good call on BB, I could not bring myself to make the drive down today. From the look of things the Tram, Shedhorn and Dakota were all closed.

**Whiteroom_Guardian** · 02-25-2019, 07:00 PM

Was pretty nutty with the wind. Skied over to tram first think and realized quickly it wasn't happening and it was gonna be fucked up skiing anyway. Good snow off the hike and down low though. Whitetail was good and I couldn't resist so I went back up for a Class 4 > all the way through. Still needs more snow to not have to side step in.

The gale was blowing up in the high angles, but the trees lower down had free refills all day. A certain RE lift didn't suck for the first two hours. Peru held the goods for last run.

From a couple days ago, out in the wilds.

Headwaters was superb today. Driving back to Missoula however, was by far the worst winter driving I've ever had. 10/10 would go back again to ski.

**Harry** · 02-26-2019, 08:42 AM

^^^ WOW, you certainly got after it. Glad those passes I gave you worked out.

Text message sent to Bunion.

**Whiteroom_Guardian** · 02-26-2019, 08:43 AM

^^^ nice. Was good indeed.

FWIW was talking with an employee yesterday and I guess Boyne/Big Sky gets $20 per person per day for an Ikon user. No idea how factual that is. Seems low. I guess it's worth it to get people hooked on your mountain and hope they come back in the future (when no longer on Ikon?) and pay to play? IDK

It's funny to bitch, but you know what, we have it so good compared to many many places. See: any major ikon resort 3-6 hours away.

**Harry** · 02-26-2019, 08:47 AM

+28F, windy as fuck, an inch of fresh.

**Whiteroom_Guardian** · 02-26-2019, 08:49 AM

I don't think this really counts unless you ski it with no sidestep (aka after a bunch more snow) or take the double/triple. Still fun.
