slopetool Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hi guys - I packed up and moved from Troutdale, OR to Missoula, MT. This is what happens when you go after "the girlfriend that got away" 15 years ago. Quit my job and left everything behind to make it happen. I've really moved over here and it is great so far. I love it. I'm heading up to Montana Snowbowl on Fri. and theres a chance that I'll be up at Whitefish for the carve fest later this season. I hope to make it if all goes well. http://www.montanasnowbowl.com/ I'll try to check back often and stay more active here on Bomber. Talk to you all later!

Take care and Happy Holidays.cheers, sandy Hey Sandy, Ed tells me he finally damaged his 172cm Tanker beyond repair. (typically he doesn't admit to having anything this short :) but the truth be know he does occasionally use one. He is looking for a new "SHORT BOARD" in the 172cm -182cm range. If anyone in Montana has something similar , please let Ed know. (or me) Thanks, Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Best to ya Ed! Hope we see you at OES:biggthump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopetool Posted December 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Rode at Montana Snowbowl last Fri. 16 inches of new! Great ski area with fun steep terrain in many places. Its just what I was looking for in a home mountain, its only 16 miles from my house. Snowbowl needs a bit more snowpack to open the entire mountain. Its snowing hard up there today and should get 2-3 feet more by the end of the week. I'll keep you guys updated on how its going. Thanks for the responses.

Jack M Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Went to Missoula for a wedding a few years ago, seems like a great place to live with lots of outdoor activities right in your backyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr D Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Ed definitely come up for the BMES its a hoot. We have had 41 inches of fresh in the last week and no sign of stopping. It looks like another powder fest. Welcome to MT just be sure and tell all your friends back home how much it sucks! We don't want things getting to crowded:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slopetool Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 The white 200 tanker kicked major ass! It wasn't too long except for one time when I got into some really tight trees. I shouldn't have followed those young skiers through the trees. I'm heading up tomorrow with a friend of Andrea's to Snowbowl. He is going to show me some secret stashes. I hope it all goes well. I'll let you know. More snow is expected tonite and I hope Oregon gets another blanket of snow for you all to enjoy. Well actually, I hope all the ski areas get lots of snow. We all deserve to ride the pow. Take Care. Ed Missoula is a great little city. Lots to explore and experience. thanks, Jack When I get up to BM I'll let you know Dr.D. when is the BM session anyway?

kinpa Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 YEAH!!!!! Someone else in Missoula!!!!!! Yipee!!! Anyway, Ed, maybe I should take back what I said about trying Lookout..... from the posts I read here it seems like Snowbowl will be more your speed!!!! Lookout is nice and open and groomed, but maybe not enough of a mountain for big boards!!! (My biggest now is a 156!!!) Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
