My Montana friend skied Maverick mountain today.  This was the crowd.  He said less than 40 cars including employees.  They’re only open Thursday to Sunday.  A double riblet chair for the entire mountain.

Well my Montana friend skied discovery and maverick this week and his lift ticket at maverick was $35. It is 3 hours from Bozeman but even adding in an overnight stay at a hotel it’s cheaper than a one day big sky pass. Justo you and Tom would get along.  He worked in ski shops for years. Even hooked me up with a pair of Langes for $70 way back when that I used for like four seasons.

Discovery was a great mountain. Nice locals feel. Backside had some interesting looking stuff in a wooded bowl.

Fun 8-1 session at Mountain Creek this morning with my cousin riding the mashed potatoes. They are definitely hurting for snow with a lot of bare sports.

How were the crowds and lift lines at MC? What peak were you at?

[antman12]

Hey @eaf
We parked at South Peak and rode there basically all day. Lift lines for the Quad to the top of South were about 7-10 mins mid day. We went to the Gondola for a run and waited probably a little over 10 mins and went to Granite for 3 runs and rode onto the lift there.

Oh we also saw a big ole Blue Mountain sticker on one of the chairs. Basically All of the chairs have graffiti/stickers on them to go along with a lot of trash under the lifts. Dirty Jerz

Ha, not too bad for a weekend at MC. There are pictures of looooong lines flying around, but I guess one can snap them at any resort this winter.

How did you get back to South from Granite? Does the long and flat green trail still have enough snow? Must be a pain to take it on a snowboard.

Looks a lot different than a week ago. They’ve been busy.

Wow @Barb

Johnathon buckhouse is done riding at Keystone   He already had an incident with ski patrol there last year and apparently they don’t have as many bonks and booters in the Park

WJW I can't believe somebody would have a run-in with ski patrol.

Buckhouse is nothing special...Just one of many "influencers"

@NMSKI I remember you were saying you were into Bugaboos namely the Columbia two in one ski jacket and the Destiny’s child song.  Well you are in luck the Bugaboo ski lodge is for sale.

I prefer Greg Brady’s content better.  Although he has 70,000 less subscribers. Who are your favorite ski/snowboard influencers?  Jon Olsson and Warner Nickerson have posted some decent ski vlogs but not with the consistency of Buckhouse.

@GrilledSteezeSandwichI stand by my statement that I don’t like Keystone. I would like to get a few more ski days in this season but my friends seem to be transitioning to warm weather activities.

A Bay Bay...A Bay Bay..looks kind of warm and dry out there the next week and a half but I’m hoping it dumps during my trip.  It usually does...snow>sunshine...I don’t even care if it’s cloudy.  Brings Atomic Jeff down. 

 

I hear you on skiing alone. This last season at Blue I only skied alone a handful of days and even on those days I still ran into random folks I rode the lift with.

And y'all call me a complainer! 
Guy's boarding practically every day and he's bitching about Keystone?  Asshole!
He should come to Camelback and see what IT's like.  Maybe he'll have some appreciation for what he has!

I feel sorry for the people he's "influencing".

I'm curious as to why you don't like it?
I've been there (granted only once) and found it fun.

It just had a weird vibe. Lots of guys in their 20’s with sports jerseys on. My friend got plowed down, guy didn’t even stop to see if she was ok. I have since heard multiple stories of people being knocked down.
