hi everyone. just thought i'd put in a post for big mtn. if you want to know the snow conditions up here, check bigmtn.com. it's pretty accurate. the park is on the backside on silvertip this year. in the park:
- 5 tables: 10ft, 20ft, 15ft, 35-40ft, 15ft, 8ft
- 3 boxes: rainbow, flat, and a c-box with kinks in it.
- 2 rails: double barrel flat, 10ft; flat down, about 20 ft overall
the park is groomed ususally on friday and saturday nights, but the grooming is unconsistant and doesnt always happen. soem days it is great, and other times it is super icy and sucks

ill update this when i can, message me if you need any info. see ya on the hill

hi everyone, i just checked the frenie website, and i guess that the comp is a freeski comp(what they mean have no idea). i think it is a extreme skiing thing or something like that. check out www.skifernie.com and click on the link about halfway down the page for more info. later

its ok. sometimes they dont groom it when it really needs it. i heard they closed some jumps becasue it has been hot as hell (50!!!) here, and the landings were turning into scheets of ice after freezing at night. last weekend the lips were really rampy. somtimes the park is good and others it sucks.

DONT LISTEN TO DAVID STEELE, holy shit, hes an idiot. cant ski, period. the park is good if you know the crew, they tweak as much as they can for you. its the mountain that fights eveything. but yeah, he doesnt know much about anything, what sucks what doesnt, the cbox didnt ruin the flow, it made it more interesting.

btw, the big booter, was dope before a kid hurt himself, put you up about 25 feet in the air if you flipped, some kid hurt himself.

Davy steele might say theres going to be somethign dope at the pass, not from him.

if you go up the first day its open, when all the photographers are up there, look for me. there will be a roadgap about 200yds to the lakemcdonald side of the building. should be big. bring your cars for us to jump

by the looks of it, we will need some storms between now and the 25th. but it looks like there is enough on the backside to ski on, so hopefully the show will go on. all the same, rock skis

who knows. they will want ot open the mountain fully first. oh i heard from tele tim that he donated a battleship box to the park this year, so look for that. i went today(11-26-04), and it was pretty sick for my first day. a couple inches of pow, and a nice base made for good cliff hucking and trick learning snow, so i dropped some moderate cliffs and tried to learn a misty 7 over the greywolf table, which i got close on. oh, and the stuff that is roped off is nice skiing, just dont let the patrol catch you, and stay out of hellroaring basin unless you want to hike forever. to that note, i saw some tracks on hellroaring peak, which is crazy

when up again today (11-27-04),it was decent. nice high speed groomers in the morning, and about 2 inches of new stuff. the pow from yesterday was hardened, and with the new snow, made for interesting conditions. see you there tomarrow

one more think i thought of, maybe i should write these down. if you are visiting big mtn and looking for jumps(or ski here and are completely oblivious) grey wolf is pretty good. the roller after the first cat track is fun, and there are a few little jumps sprinkled around the sides of the run. on the final hill, right before the long cat track, on skiiers right, there is a big run in that leads to a natural table. it was pretty hard on sunday, so check it out before you go and huck it
