71 inches at Bridger Bowl

Straight from the dusty shelves at home, I thought this would be an epic video to show you guys. Back in 2002 I believe, Bridger Bowl managed to receive 71 inches of snow over the course of two days. I was still a young guy back then, but my brothers were almost through high school.

Hearing of this legendary snow storm these two decided to drive down to catch this day of a lifetime, since the area had to be shut down due to there being too much snow. Needless to say it was an epic day for them.

They still brag about it to this day. Bastards.


This winter sucks.

I was there, I skied the first day they opened, which was 3 days after the storm. It was too deep. We had good snow for the whole week after.

They actually got that amount over a 24 hour period, and it was super light (3% or something like that). But yeah, it was too much snow. A fun novelty for a couple days, but it was too much to really ski in.

It only looks deep because of how skinny their skis were.

Yes. It actually worked nicely a couple times. One time i fell over and was pretty stuck, snorkel actually made it easier to breathe.

Can't believe you stopped skiing to film on a day like that, but its sick that you did. That was one incredible day, I remember getting trapped in a tree well for literally 30 minutes. once in a lifetime.

There have been quite a few days at Bridger where a snorkel is actually practical.

that looked sick. a dump that big might be easier to ski now seeing as the widest skis back then were what? pocket rockets maybe?
