some clips from last weekend. Hyped for more this weekend, jazzed as
Keeping it real intermediate at the local hill while we wait for the next snow to open up shop. So ready to sit on some lifts and make laps. BTW the atomic bentchetler 100s are fucking awesome in all kinds of snow and are proving to be a worthy touring weapon.
Making the most of a shallow unstable snowpack. Endless mellow powder turns with a huge crew after skinning 5K from the valley floor to the top of Ward mountain in the Bitterroots. Omitted the last 1000 ft of teeth chattering death crust. Great day goofing around with friends skiing above the inversion nastiness in the Valley.
Backcountry has been fyre for us. Jah blessed with stable pow on all aspects. A couple more weeks of play before I gotta go back to worky. Keep the cold storms comin!
I enjoyed the shit out of this day but did not think it was going to be my last deep one. Fingers crossed for another good storm.
Extreme gnar soft shell skiing is about being super dialed. That means getting to the trailhead by lunch, wearing silly hats, eating shit flavored elk infused bars, and letting everyone know that you are sooooooooo Dynafit.
Had wednesday off from work for Veteran's Day. Skied some pow. More snow in the forecast!!!!
I have become really addicted to the process, raping instagram/blogs for beta, scouting, and then executing. It brings great pleasure to my cold black heart.
Porter the dog made us look like pussies as usual by fully sending. Lindsy Vonn cameo. 19 consecutive months of shralping. Sorry Tall T Dan, I cant #stopskiing.
Smoking jazz cigarettes and breathing aggressively. Summer skiing is fucking awesome.
Dad turn bonanza practicing for the powder 8 championships with TJ.
Thanks to all that gave us truck rides and snowmobile bumps. Great times exploring the roadside attractions of beartooth pass. Cant wait to go back and rally some tbar laps at the basin and do some more poking around. RIP transfer case.
No biblical storms around here in west central Montana, but cold temps, small crowds, and consistent snow has kept things legit.
2 laps deep in the Rattlesnake Wilderness Area on old Mosquito Peak. The 2nd chute was a new one for me and the choke point did not fill in that great this year obv. Always sketch guinea pigging a line that no one has skied all year. Big line season is upon us. Jazzed for more marathon days in ze mountains.
Had the day off from work to vote, so I went skiing. Weird snow, bad viz, bad ankle, bad binding, shark fins everywhere. pretty much a perfect day!!!!
hiked up hillz and skied decent snow and some variable weird snow. Really fun to get some sun and good cardio for my fat ass.
Toured a little bit last week and found some decent stuff that was not sun/wind fukked. Corn skiing has now taken over with no storms on the horizon.
This past winter was full of shitty days. Here are a couple shots from the less shitty of the days. Skiing rules.
It snowed a very little bit up in the high country, but of course we had to investigate. The way up looked pretty bleak. Then we found where the wind had blown all the snow off the top of the mountain and created a little snow oasis. It wasn't much but it was enough to make me feel happy again.
Been poking around some old stashes and some new ones trying to find that white gurrrl.
checking out a little mini golf zone after the wind fuct everything else.
got weird in the spanish peaks. Got me stoked for spring/summer couloir hunting!!
ending powder days with a hike up tv mountain is a snowbowl tradition. With a proposed lift going in soon this stony zone may never be the same. #savetvmountain
Skiing corn in november is fun, but confusing. Snow is in the forescast. Come on winter!!
Got some loose beta about being able to drive to the trailhead of St. Marys in the bitterroots. Not so much. Tacked on a bunch of vert and mileage. Made the ...
Set out with low expectations as we were hiking thru 50 mph winds. This was the only zone that didn't get completely wind smashed. So fun sending with the crew.
