Just got the first day of my season in, for anyone thinking about going up there it was a real fun time just to be back on skis. Actually a half way decent bleacher bench turned into a box and some other things to fuck around with, just don't attempt the mile and a half hike on two hours of sleep and a serious hangover. Oh and this is post 1000 hurray!

Theres only really one road you can take off the highway and there arent any turn offs to get you confused on the way there are signs too. You'll know your there when you see a bunch of cars on the side of the road and a trail on the left.

St. marys is a lot of fun. I stopped there on my way to the tetons a couple summers ago to ski a bit. Its a super fun place to ski in the summer.

you can go right up to the snow. there was a flat round rail, a little jump, barrel bonk, and a few other rails that were kinda sketch but you could make them fun. should have pics soon
