I was thinking to a couple seasons ago where I skied almost all the small resorts around Montana. It was what you would expect: MSU rippers/Bozeman locals at bridger, rich tourists at Big Sky. Red Lodge was twice a year families from Billings and some die hard locals, etc.
I could not figure out Discovery. underrated mountain for sure. Great steeps, some cliffs, great vibe. But why are there so many Tele skiers? Not just old heads. I'm talking mid 20s to mid 30s dropping knees down some of the steep back bowls like their life depended on it. It wasn't just one crew. It was every single limelight lift ride, every time I've been to Disco.
If its Missoula, why don't Lost Trail and Snowbowl have near as many. Plenty of Tele bums at Bridger, but if its Bozeman, why are people driving 2 hours just to drop a knee? Is the radiation from the Berkeley Pit really just turning the whole town of Butte into Tele Skiers?
Any other mountain seem to attract a way higher proportion of Tele skiers than normal? Is it the terrain at Disco that makes them come out of the woodwork?
