After a 3 week hiatus due to shit weather and working 12 days straight we lucked out with perfect weather for a legendary slog up to Gunsight mountain and the Sperry Glacier in Glacier National Park. No grizzlies and great corn. Cool to ski on a glacier that may not last our lifetime. All said and done it was a 17 hour day covering roughly 23 miles and 10k feet of up.
skiing is a lot like a girl flashing her dumpers. Even the mediocre ones are thoroughly enjoyable.
Mini storm delivers a fun day for my friends and I. Still waiting for our first large storm.
Had wednesday off from work for Veteran's Day. Skied some pow. More snow in the forecast!!!!
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 ...
some stuff from our last decent dust on crust storm a couple weeks ago. Temps hitting 60 this week things are gonna get weird.
still lots of jolly good times to be had in western Montana, you just gotta be willing to get really high.
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.
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.
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.
Checking out old zones. Trying to remember how to ski before the next big storm hits. Feeling like half a bitcoin.
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...
Celebrated diversity by participating in the whitest sport on the planet.
Smoking jazz cigarettes and breathing aggressively. Summer skiing is fucking awesome.
doing summertime things to numb my brain until shred season
Staying high cause the rivers are all blown the fuck out, who cares fishing is for grandpas. summer ski season is shaping up quite nicely. the runnels are forming, cornices are breaking, and the sun cups should be knee deep soon enough.
Who doesnt like unknowingly cruising towards a little death crack every now and then. Could have been ugly. looked deep and scary. Lucky to sneak in a great lap between the hail and lightning. Taking advantage of the higher elevation trailheads finally becoming accessible!
survival skiing on Suncupped garbage riddled with fallen rock debris. Neat times exploring a new zone tho. A little earlier perhaps for next year.
got weird in the spanish peaks. Got me stoked for spring/summer couloir hunting!!
tuesday at lolo pass was slow and floaty. a pillowy dreamworld.
Im ready for real skiing, but messing around on Carlton Ridge has been keeping me happy.
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.
celebrating 60 months of continuous skiing in western montana with pretty decent turns. Hoping the snow keeps up!
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.
