Nice Sib...I needed a fanny flap this morning at blue.

 

Definitely wet butt syndrome this morning at Blue.

Skied today, but too lazy to post my own pic.

 

Besides, tele is cool.

Conditions are excellent, like mid January. Place is 100% open. Didn't ski a lot, will build slowly. But powder, no hard pack, no dirt, no grass, excellent dry quality conditions. Hell, it's been mostly zero and below, the best conditions for snow quality. Warming up a bit later in the week.

Just as a quick prediction, given that Whitefish Lake is already covered shore to shore with ice, the fog will be a lot less this season, yay! Last season was pretty bad.

i got called a pussy by delorme once when i said i didnt want to ski in -35 w/o windchill.

not worth it.

I was actually overdressed today. Came home and had to dry my mittens and balaclava, and my unmentionables. Only light winds and the sun was out, so -4 was quite warm.

We had The Right Fluff today. Was on my skinny skis and it was not an issue. Wish I had a few more days to get better before this showed up, though.

Old legs could only handle three runs today. Need some recuperation time.

Some of those areas, I've skied the apron below the cliffs. Needless to say, old Sib doesn't jump off cliffs.

 

See the page on my site called Whitey's in my North Bowl section, also Evan's Heaven, and the Apron in Hellroaring Basin.

 

I have done none of the double blacks, not do I have plans to. In addition, I have never done Back Nine, Fault 3, Connie's Coulee, Teepee (no one calls it that, it's Area 51), Marmot. Some other single blacks I might not get to every year, but have done them. I hope to get in Connie's Coulee this year.

 

David Steele is a pro for ON3P. Zak is a friend on Facebook, a sometime co-worker with the Siblet, and one of her best buds. He is also one of the owners of Montana Ski Company, and his picture is on the sides of buildings in Seattle and buses in Minneapolis. Have heard of the third guy, but don't know a thing about him.

You're representing Montana well here in PASR world, thanks for sharing some great pictures.

Today. Finally starting to remember how to do this. Not ready to change to other skis yet, but my basics are feeling good.

I think the average non-holiday day is 2000. I know I've got that stat somewhere.. http://wmr-guide.com/tips.html#SkierVisits

 

However, Presidents Week here is pretty bad as we are very popular with Canadians and they have a holiday week at the same time. Whereas you might expect crowds at Christmas, the impact to us of that February week is probably more than at other areas.

 

In case you're wondering, no, I don't stand around waiting for a person to get out of the picture.. But I do mostly ski midweek: Sun, Mon, Tues OR Wed, Thurs, Fri.

Bright and breezy today.

I wish I could say I was there today, but a family emergency means I've had to fly to Denver for the week.

 

Look what I'm missing!!!!

Another clear day in paradise.

My mom died, so I missed a bunch of days. I'm pretty far behind where I normally am. Plus, stopped posting stats here a while ago. Today was day 16. But, it was like I had two "first weeks" this season as I had about ten days in when I had to leave for Denver. (Christmas was postponed this year). Then I was out for ten days, and it was like I hadn't skied AT ALL when I got back out there. Fortunately, have started gaining strength and finally did some off piste today. But, not really where I should be for this date.

No, what was dumb was him chasing a moose. He's lucky he's not dead. Then he glories his a-holeness by publishing it on Facebook. Double dumb. Beyond that, quadruple dumb. The Forest Service had to act. It's National Forest land and the video ended up on CNN.
