kram Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 Opening day at Schweitzer today. I went up and took 3 runs down the Midway 500. Lots and lots of people on that one run I’ll be up there for the opening bell tomorrow and probably down on the 1030 bus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kram Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 We got some snow over the weekend and today the conditions were really nice for carving. A little crowded, still not much open just 2 groomed runs. it gets beat up pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kram Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 The 4 inches of new we got at Schweitzer last night made things too soft for carving hard. I made a couple more laps with the soft boots but there’s still not enough snow off piece to really go for it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect visibility I left at 10:00 I don’t know what happened after that. Probably got busy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kram Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 you missed another one. Hero snow with good visibility. I probably said it 20 times, “you’re not that good it’s the snow”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kram Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 The conditions this morning were as good as it gets around here for carving. Tomorrow should be the same with way less people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soultrencher Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 I'll be visiting schweitzer for the first time, Friday and Saturday, feb 18-19. Any tips on where the best carving spots are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kram Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 8:30 Friday start lapping Musical Chairs, I’ll meet you there and show you around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soultrencher Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Full disclosure: I'll be there with family, and they will be skill capped at groomed blues. We also wont have the legs for more than about 3 hrs total of riding. I'm only good for about a dozen hard turns before sitting down to catch my breath/let the legs stop burning (we're coming from sea-level). Will you be lapping happy trails if we aren't there that early? Is there cell coverage on the mountain? Any tips on parking? I read the website on parking but it isnt clear what parking costs or if it fills up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
