Had wednesday off from work for Veteran's Day. Skied some pow. More snow in the forecast!!!!
Dad turn bonanza practicing for the powder 8 championships with TJ.
I have become really addicted to the process, raping instagram/blogs for beta, scouting, and then executing. It brings great pleasure to my cold black heart.
Been poking around some old stashes and some new ones trying to find that white gurrrl.
Expected rain and shitty snow. But we remained optimystical and things got more awesomer.
checking out a little mini golf zone after the wind fuct everything else.
Got some loose beta about being able to drive to the trailhead of St. Marys in the bitterroots. Not so much. Tacked on a bunch of vert and mileage. Made the ...
hiked up hillz and skied decent snow and some variable weird snow. Really fun to get some sun and good cardio for my fat ass.
This past winter was full of shitty days. Here are a couple shots from the less shitty of the days. Skiing rules.
2 laps deep in the Rattlesnake Wilderness Area on old Mosquito Peak. The 2nd chute was a new one for me and the choke point did not fill in that great this year obv. Always sketch guinea pigging a line that no one has skied all year. Big line season is upon us. Jazzed for more marathon days in ze mountains.
It snowed a very little bit up in the high country, but of course we had to investigate. The way up looked pretty bleak. Then we found where the wind had blown all the snow off the top of the mountain and created a little snow oasis. It wasn't much but it was enough to make me feel happy again.
Toured a little bit last week and found some decent stuff that was not sun/wind fukked. Corn skiing has now taken over with no storms on the horizon.
got weird in the spanish peaks. Got me stoked for spring/summer couloir hunting!!
Skiing corn in november is fun, but confusing. Snow is in the forescast. Come on winter!!
ending powder days with a hike up tv mountain is a snowbowl tradition. With a proposed lift going in soon this stony zone may never be the same. #savetvmountain
Set out with low expectations as we were hiking thru 50 mph winds. This was the only zone that didn't get completely wind smashed. So fun sending with the crew.
Had the day off from work to vote, so I went skiing. Weird snow, bad viz, bad ankle, bad binding, shark fins everywhere. pretty much a perfect day!!!!
Skied down to lantern lake off the north face of lolo peak. Twas very fun.
The thick wildfire smoke cleared for one day so we could ski some dirty patches. Thank you baby jesus.
had a solid day checking out the the Rattlesnake Mountains near Snowbowl,MT.
Im ready for real skiing, but messing around on Carlton Ridge has been keeping me happy.
Skied the south chute off of Gray Wolf Peak in the Mission Mountains on a crystal clear day. Perfect carvy corn. Kudos to the the world war 2 era bulldozer that cleared the roads for us. Also kudos to the mountain goat that broke trail for us up the chute.
