January 10, 2009: Road Trip Day 2 - know when to run
Chairlifts | Bookmark and Share

Stayed in Bozeman last night. Woke up planning Bridger Bowl today and Big Sky tomorrow. Found no new snow this am. Bought ticket, made one run and decided to bail. Looks to be amazing terrain when there's powder. Resold the lift tickets in the parking lot and hit the road. Made it to teton pass in time to see the layout. Looks to be lots of options. Will explore it tomorrow, then Jackson Hole the following day or two. Hoping to hit Utah towards the end of the week, but powder piggies can't make plans too far in advance.

Blair and I continue to be blown away by the geography here. There's potato growing "terrain" minutes from teton pass. You could be standing in the middle of the prairies until you look a certain direction. Farm land at 5,000 feet plus.

Stoked to get some powder turns tomorrow!

Bridger has promise - very steep and rugged terrain But no snow today - icy and moguls were the norm inbounds It was easy to see where to hike, but the terrain up top required you knew where to descend. Goodbye Bridger Bowl. Should I find myself in Bozeman again on a powder day, I'll come visit.

Ouch. Too bad we didn't meet up. We found sick pow for most of the day today at Bridger.

We could see options on the ridge, but it also looked like the type of place you should probably know where you were going... too bad I didn't get your message sooner.
