We were successful in sneaking a small quantity of the chowder across the Montana boarder into Idaho. I was very anxious to finish it myself but my long haired boy that skis and eats every 2 hours, gobbled it ALL up before I even got the truck unloaded at home!!
Kudos should also go out to Sammy's delicious cookies! They too were wonderful! Mmmmm Sammy cookies! Sammy's brownies rock too!!
The highlights of the trip to NW Montana was TURNER!! Friday had 10-12 inches of pow with a total of 52 people at the hill. We had fresh lines from top to bottom all day long! Yes you could ride 2110 vertical feet with your very own untracked line all day long! Saturday brought out the sun and maybe 70 people. Still tons of lines left. John and I had the last chair on Saturday and still found a untouched line for at least 1000 vertical!
Turner is always a great time. Great glades, consistent pitch, very nice fall lines, very long runs and very little traversing. They purchased a newer groomer this season and I saw some of the best grooming I had ever seen there. Not compared to Schweitzer or Big but for Turner very fine. I think my son said it best after a long sweet powder run and much more powder in front of us..."Oh my God I just crapped my pants!"
