west carven Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 howdy all cooling down alittle and maybe some snow in the higher elevation in glacier national park in a few days. Construction of Flower Point ski lift hits halfway mark. so more fun runs to look foward to and it should hold up better when the frontside gets funky snow. runs are narrow and better for softboots.

johnasmo Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Day 2 of the Whitefish ski season. Day 1 was a bust for me since the temps were frigid, cloudy, wind was howling, and I started too late. I let it get too dark then lost my goggles in a tumble (had them up on my helmet so I could see), then couldn't find them and ended up walking down in the dark. Today was better but not great. Still frigid, but less wind and the sun was out. Found my goggles on the way up, and had first top to bottom run of the season. Hard, wind-packed snow -- summit depth would be about 2 feet, except for all the wind scoured rocky spots. Took a few dings and scrapes on the way down. The extruded base PBR board is good for rocks, but it sucks at pow; very hard to keep the nose up on a stiff little 156 twin. Maybe I should check out the pawn shops for something rockered....

johnasmo Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 The week of frigid sunny weather has given way to a mostly cloudy day and temps reaching back to the 20's again. Still milking the one snowfall from a week ago, but warmer temps will kill lower Toni Matt pretty quickly without more snow. I did shoot some video the last couple days so I can share with Steve the conditions that some of us are willing to ride. What's surprising to me is that I'm not the only one doing it, even with such sketchy coverage. Day 7 for me and I still see a handful of others doing it every day. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/K9RC6h76lew" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
