It's weird that all the spots I grew up building jumps at will be gone. I guess the kids will have to find somewhere new.

What level of skier are you? There are some really fun spots if you do a little hiking. One good spot is Lodi Ridge which is a short hike up from the top of the Tbar on the backside.

I'd love to do some hiking. I think I tried that once when I was up there, but I coudln't figure out where to go.

I'll be around. We should probably do an NS shred day, if that doesn't happen organically.

And the Flower Point road has always been a sub par jump spot--every generation sorts that out. There are certainly better options further out.

I've never been to whitefish to ski... What does a bozemanite need to know about the mountain if I make a trip up this year? Any tips? All I hear about it is endless glades, do you have big mountain lines?

The easiest thing is to just link up with one of us--any NSer can show you a good time.

There's a ton of glades here, but certainly plenty of big mtn style lines--they just don't have nearly the runout or carry of the Bridgers or Big Sky. There's great slack country too. Don't forget that we've got actual groomers here too, which means you can spend a solid five minutes going as fast as you can from the top to the bottom. I've had trouble finding that at many other places in the state.

I can't remember his name but he is originally from the valley. I believe he worked for Northstar the last couple of years. They have also built a new fun looking wallride/box you're just gonna have to wait and see. Also they reshaped the battleship rail and the dfd as far as i know.

It's worth noting, friends, that we're doing pretty well compared with the rest of the country.

Stoked that we've actually got some snow, and may this warming be merciful upon us.

Did a ski there for the first time Friday / Saturday... took a while to find a good routine but ended up just lapping "golf course / cliff zone" or whatever and hiking the radio tower. Too many flat areas and cat tracks all over this hill!!! Need more fall line skiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnn!

Prepare to be perpetually late.

If you bring 1 other person you can split the cost of a roomette though which it totally worth it IMO. You get a private compartment, beds, a sleeping car attendant, and meals included. The train leaves MSP at about 10-11pm so you just hop on and go to bed. Not sure about the return schedule.
