Big Sky/Moonlight 14-15

[tk]Damn is it usually that late for moonlight?

YoungDaphswifty WILL be open. skied it all day, mr k will be rocky as fuck but skiable. party on frickers, see ya tomorrow!

caucasian_chadNothing wrong with smoking some rocks.

ghosthopHey daph, are the only open runs mr. k off swift and tippy off of ramcharger? How does it look for opening more terrain with the project snow this week?

[tk]Fuck me, skis got fucked. Moonlight probably shouldn't have even been open but then again I probably shouldn't have brought my new skis. Lesson learned.

ImmasBelieve me, I'm still surprised we opened the terrain. It got a lil better with the dusting today, but I'd avoid it until we have more snow. I didn't even want to ski down from my lift.

YoungDaphthat snow was needed. blew into the trees and covered lots of the sharky stuff. medi trees were skiing priiiiime today and nothing up top opened due to wind so the next few days should be epic. challenger bullwheel gets back sometime this week so hopefully that will reopen soon

caucasian_chadIs challenger even gonna get fixed this year? I've heard it was a few days away from getting fixed several times in the past few weeks, yet it's still very broken.

YoungDaphugh I am so sick of hearing people bitch about challenger. we shipped the bullwheel to spokane because we don't have the means to rebuild it here. there is nothing we can do until we get it back. its supposed to get in today provided the trucker doesn't fuck up and then it will take a few days for us to re-install. hopefully its up and running by the weekend. the terrain has been open this whole time and its skiing way better than if the lift was open because its not getting chewed to shit. I've skied it a bunch, its not that much of a pain in the ass to get to

caucasian_chadNot bitching, just inquiring. I'm more of a Shedhorn/Dakota guy anyways, so it hasn't affected me a lot, plus I still get one lap in off it when I return from Moonlight to Big Sky.

ghosthopspeaking of, hows that stuff riding? how are the trees off the ridge that lone tree accesses? headwaters filling in?

it would be nice if they listed base numbers for moonlight as well

caucasian_chadThere's a new shack up on Lookout Ridge, hike up to the highest point and look left, can't miss it.

caucasian_chadAnd by this I mean, go to that spot on the lookout ridge groomed trail where you can hike up a bit and hit those cliffs skiing down towards marshall and moonshine, that's where it is.

YoungDaphchallengnar will be open tomorrow

moistdang it

japanadaAnyone gonna be up there for Powder Week? I think some of us are gonna be coming on up!

last_tangoI think I might be able to charge down headwaters by then if my bone fuses together. Going to be doing a lot of demoing for fun and for work. I can hook you up with 50% off lift tickets if you don't find a better deal.

Turd.Fergusonpossibly heading up this weekend, whats good up at Big Sky

YoungDaphIts that time of year again now that y'all are back for school and whatnot. This thread is for all things concerning Big Sky and Moonlight! Question, stoke, park suggestions, carpooling etc.

This'll be my 4th winter working there so I can hopefully answer most questions and hook up all you Bridger riders with half off tickets if you feel like shredding a whole mtn instead of just a ridgeline hehehe.

lp.I'm coming up to Bozeman March 23-27 for the SFS at Big Sky. If you still have any deals on tickets for Big Sky or Bridger that'd be killer!

YoungDaphDo you not get discount tickets through sfs? I have some half offs for big sky floating around still, can't help w Bridger though

lp.Sometimes they aren't as good as half off, just thought I'd check anyway

YoungDaphWord lemme know if you need some! Stoked to watch the comp, the venue is pretty bony right now but sis kids always throw down regardless of the conditions whew
