Back to Ball Butte for some turns!

http://www.sallgoodsports.com/photos/swfpopup.mg?AlbumID=7403203&AlbumKey=qAebS Here's Tapper shot from the day!

Headed out with Tapper and Kurt for some sled-assisted turns out on Ball Butte - We were thinking of Broken Top's Pucker Face (Middle Left line on BT, below) but it had slid out pretty good, and that aspect was not holding the best snow...

Alex shooting again, The backside on a ROCKY day...

Air to Turn photo at Bachey today...

A phototgrapher friend (Grant Myrdal) shot a couple of pics of me up at the hill today - doing turn-to-air-to-turn jumps on the bumps on Thunderbird. They can be viewed on the daily galleries with the following link. (Click on the < (BACK) button to view them in sequence...) http://mtbachelor.smugmug.com/gallery/7290537_C5zsN/1/#468757159_cQXEC-A-LB Kind of fun day, with a little much-needed wet snow to stick to all the ice. Cover that and the downed trees up with about 2', and we might have a real reboot. Weather, sez maybe, we'll have to wait and see.

How's this season Stack up vs. others??

Here's a chart I Made from Mt. B's track your turns web app. It tracks each of the previous 5 year's snowriding, and shows how much I have been up this season in comparison to year's past. This sheet DOES include 8 days (almost 200,000 of vertical) from the Big Sky and Jackson Hole trips this year. Without those numbers this year would be looking pretty grim.

Hope, Pray, or ask your higher power to provide some snow, please!

Besides - all we did is drink beer
