I posted briefly a while ago with a panorama taken at Big Sky on the last week of February. The post detailing our run is here and the rest of the pictures are below.

Tucker and I skied Big Sky on Saturday and made all of one run during the three and a half hours we were there. We took lifts to the top of Lone Peak and then skied down the Otter Traverse to the top of the Dictator Chutes. We put tracks down one of these chutes [...]

About a month ago I blogged about the Outdoor Pursuits Photography Contest. Well, the results came in and I won 1st Place in the Action/Adventure Category with my picture of Sam skiing some really deep powder back in mid-October. Along with a fancy ribbon I won a $20 Northern Lights gift card and a pair [...]

Yesterday I woke up and checked the snow report, saw the 11″ of fresh and the little blinking blue light on the Bridger homepage that means powder, didn’t believe it, and went back to bed. When I woke up two hours later it was still showing the same thing. Forrest, Tim, Tucker, Megan, and I [...]

Last week I managed to secure a beacon for a couple of days of skiing off of Bridger’s vaunted Ridge.
Tuesday, Clare, Taylor, and I hiked up from the top of the Slushman’s lift to ski some day old powder down to The Fingers. The view from the top of the Ridge was stunning. The Bridger [...]

El Nino has not been very kind to the Bridgers this season. However, after a two week drought and some really crappy skiing, we finally got some snow this last weekend. Alot of it, actually.
Friday, January 22
We got our 1-2″ overnight, and it was snowing lightly all day. Nothing really worth mentioning, but a couple [...]

Tucker and I rented beacons, probes, and shovels today and headed up to Bridger for our first Slushman’s run of the season. Slushman’s is the new chair (formerly the Peruvian Lift at Alta) that Bridger installed last season to the south of Pierre’s Knob. It accesses some great, un-demarcated, patrolled terrain. Beacons are required to [...]

Tim, Tucker, and I got up to Bridger today in time for one run down South Bowl. Bridger continues to be chalk over styrofoam, but it was a good break from the hungover dorm. Yesterday was similar, but the condition on Alpine and North Bowl were a little bit better. God we need snow!
The day got [...]

For some reason, I haven’t posted on this site in over a month. I spent the month of December skiing, of which I have some pictures to post. December delivered one powder day at Bridger Bowl, and some excellent packed powder days which were frigidly cold. Needless to say, I now have more frostbite on [...]
