Yesterday's Snow was so fresh, it wasn't even all the way frozen!

Here's the (WET) cone of the day from yesterday:

Orange Cone Sunrise

Consistently unreal snow conditions for the past week or so. Not much vis, so not many photos. Here's a couple from this morning's mission on the cone very nice light, that lasted these few minutes all day, then it was back to snowing again 2-4 Feet on the way!

Opening Day Coneage & The Dirkson Derby

Starting Line for the Dirkson Derby course

"Ghetto Downhill" course - turn 1

This shot of Tapper on the cone sums up the opening day at the B. Fun turns a plenty, but lots of places with absolutely no base underneath the fresh. Buyer beware, and let's all hope for more snow again this week to bury the lurking rocks and trees.

..and it's coming here NOW!

What a forecast

Montana Recap - Good Snow!

BIG BIG Big Surf in Oz...

I was there - Opening day at Bridger Bowl, MT

I was three chairs behind these guys - They drank PBR and were generally stoked and rowdy for first tracks. http://www.bridgerbowl.com/mediagallery/dailyvideo/2008/12/11/

Big Sky for First (lift served) Tracks of the year!

Here is some shots of the goods in Montana. The first is the one of the first tracks I layed down as the chair goes by. Here's a taste of the terrain, some of which was not yet open, frustraing me greatly. A-Z chutes, hikeable from the base of the tram Big Couloir, double diamonds from the top of the tram After taking a harder look at the terrain that was open, and checking the wise advice at the top of the lift, I decided to take their advice, and keep myself stoked, without breaking anything important... More video to follow when after I catch opening day at Bridger Bowl tomorrow, then head home...
