Just found out that the “ Gold “ pass at Big Sky will be $2300 next season. Up $300 from this season and they are not giving gold passes their own parking lot. The gold pass includes IKON and unlimited tram access. There’s a bunch of other options but they don’t have the tram access. I don’t...

True story I was walking to the parking lot shuttle last week. I was going down the metal staircase and I slipped. Dropped my skis, feet over my head… a big fall. I hit my head so hard that I dented the button n he back of my helmet. I knew the stairs were wet and icy. All the signs of being...

Here it is

Hmmm, what did I learn? When I Iook back at the decisions we made that day I would say that I was lazy. We have skied that bowl probably 40 times this season. We became complacent. I knew there was a bad layer of ice going on and I went anyway. We are having a shitty season and I wanted to ski...

Yeah, that was Wyoming Bowl. Yeah, I had a buddy out there. Yeah, I was lucky.

There are probably some good deals on skiing Ukraine right now

That’s Curtis Guillford looking over his shoulder. He was head of lift operations. “ Billy, they gave me 75 degenerates to do the job of 125.” RIP Curtis.

Here are some pics from the 1997 All Lifts Race. We had a “ Lemans style “ start at the base area. Had to run up the hill and click in. The year before, I walked around and stepped on everyone’s heel bindings. People were fuckin with my bindings all morning. Somebody took my heel binding and...

Mixed feelings. Mostly sad. They announced the gondola 8 year’s ago and never came through with it. That should help a lot with base area congestion. We now have direct flights from Charlotte, Atlanta, Nashville, Houston, etc . It sounds like we are in Mayberry at the base area. These people...

Red fox

Mountain Goats at the top of “ Rips “ yesterday. Look towards the Verizon. Conditions were tough!

That is the Lost Lake side. If you look carefully and blow up the photo you can see a Mountain Goat. A big billy was hanging out.

Sorry, I’m working on it .. I am internet stupid . I have the video but I can’t get it to show up . We’re so cute at this age
