Expected rain and shitty snow. But we remained optimystical and things got more awesomer.
Skied down to lantern lake off the north face of lolo peak. Twas very fun.
The thick wildfire smoke cleared for one day so we could ski some dirty patches. Thank you baby jesus.
Mini storm delivers a fun day for my friends and I. Still waiting for our first large storm.
had a solid day checking out the the Rattlesnake Mountains near Snowbowl,MT.
forescast called for up to 10 inches overnight, we got a whopping 2. Still had a jolly old time.
doing summertime things to numb my brain until shred season
Im ready for real skiing, but messing around on Carlton Ridge has been keeping me happy.
Things have been looking pretty shitty and depressing out here in western Montana, so when I got the invite to Cooke City I was like braaaaaappppppp. My gopro failed on two of the days; apparently you need to charge them at night and not just get wasted. Thank you Cooke City for reminding me that winter is still happening. I will definitely be heading back to Brappppp City next year.
I've been drooling over the Mission Mountains since I moved to Montana and yesterday I finally got up there. Despite some mild bushwhackage and variable snow it was a great day to preview the vast potential of this visually stunning range. I will be returning soon...
Its crunch time. I have to join society again soon and the snowpack is bleeding away rapidly. So we rallied north to Glacier National Park's east side to look for some wintry turns and get out of the rain. Turns out they are hurting for snow too, but we found some fun. Can't wait to come back here during a normal winter.
still lots of jolly good times to be had in western Montana, you just gotta be willing to get really high.
skiing, blue skies, busch light in camo cans, surly hunters, new friends, bonfires, wolf tracks, and chainsaws. Quintessential Montana.
Missoula keep doing your fishing and fat biking. I will keep doing my skiing.
tuesday at lolo pass was slow and floaty. a pillowy dreamworld.
Time to be a dad again and get that paycheck. A few mediocre shots of shredding before I had to rejoin the workforce last week.
skiing is a lot like a girl flashing her dumpers. Even the mediocre ones are thoroughly enjoyable.
Kept it mellow at low low pass while the snowpack heals up high. 2 days of stumpjumping to keep warm in the frigid temps. fun stuff.
The snowpack has settled out and allowed for exploration beyond snowbowl's boundaries. Lots of fun revisiting old lines and looking for new ones wit da boice...
The lifts have stopped turning at the bowl. Time to start exploring! Kicking it off with a Missoula classic in perfect bluebird pow, good ole Stuart peak. So happy my knee is holding up! lots of spring missions ahead.
Skied the south chute off of Gray Wolf Peak in the Mission Mountains on a crystal clear day. Perfect carvy corn. Kudos to the the world war 2 era bulldozer that cleared the roads for us. Also kudos to the mountain goat that broke trail for us up the chute.
one of those magical days. Big mountain on saturday was the best snow Ive skied in a minute. Dusty!
