    Northern Rockies/Alberta Big Sky 2018-19

    At the suggestion of others . . . away we go! Keep tabs on the Ramcharger 8 lift build (and Ramcharger removal/relocation) here: Looks like the chairs have already been removed from the lift and are stashed near Swifty for the time being.

    Northern Rockies/Alberta Red Lodge anyone?

    Has anybody here skied Red Lodge Mountain in Montana? I know it is not a "destination" mountain, but rather more of a place for locals. I'm not planning a dedicated trip there, but that area is one of a handful on my retirement radar. Having ski slopes nearby is just gravy on top of the other...

    Northern Rockies/Alberta Advice on Big Sky

    I'm going to be in Big Sky next week. I have a couple of people in my group insisting on taking the gondola up to Lone peak. I see that there are some black runs off the backside. I'm an intermediate skier at best and can usually handle groomed black runs in Aspen with no problems if I take it...

    New skiing record set

    https://gearjunkie.com/uphill-downhill-24-hour-ski-record-mike-foote "For nine years, the most vertical feet gained in 24 hours stood as a skiing record that couldn’t be broken. Skiers tried over the years to eclipse the seemingly inhuman 60,000-foot record, but all fell short. But on March...

    Northern Rockies/Alberta Best Time to Visit Big Sky?

    Calling @skidrew @SShore @Talisman @Rio among other BS experts. Me and my annual ski buddies have agreed on Big Sky as the spot for our 2019 ski trip. It will be my first visit - can anyone help me decide what month is (usually) the best time to ski? Skiing 3-4 days. Avoiding the crowds is...

    Tips for dense snow

    It's been a good couple weeks here at Whitefish and I think I'm skiing quite a bit better on the groomed surfaces. Many mornings we've had 4-6" on new snow on top of the groomed and of course that gets chopped up pretty quick. Still it's a lot of fun to navigate the piles and ski the sides of...

    Help me pick. 2018 trip #2

    Conflicted. Need to be sold! Mid February: Does a guy go to Whitefish for a second year in a row or change it up and do a Spokane driving tour like Silver, Schweitzer, Lookout (or 49N). Seems like ID is getting awesome snow so far and I assume WF will catch up in the coming days. I wanna book...

    Northern Rockies/Alberta Whitefish Mountain ... right now

    What are the conditions like now ... I know it's early but the site is showing 31" base. I might go out given there's a good base and coverage from top to bottom on the cruisers. Ciao ... Dorm

    Northern Rockies/Alberta Driving - Jackson to Big Sky

    How's this drive in the winter? Thinking of flying into Jackson, ski a bit there, and then drive up to Big Sky for more. Figure late March for this . . .

    The man behind Bridger

    A good vibe behind the scenes. http://www.powder.com/stories/powder-profile/old-school-way-running-ski-resort/?sm_id=organic_fb_social_PWDR_171102_sf137247792#sf137247792 If you haven't skied it, you should. Wait, maybe too many people coming, it sucks, stay away. :)

    Northern Rockies/Alberta Red Lodge Montana ?

    We have a couple of free days at Red Lodge with our Whitefish season passes and our schedule and route can be arranged to get there at the end of a driving day (this would be Jan 20th). We will be coming from Silverthorn CO straight up through Wyoming, at least that's what Google Maps is...

    Northern Rockies/Alberta Big Sky sentiments. Input welcomed

    Hello. The short of it is, I need to land on a second location for this year, I am pretty well zeroed in on Grand Targhee for one. But in a debate over the second. I am strongly leaning toward Big Sky for a 3 day swing later this year but very tempted to revisit Whitefish b/c I had such a good...

    X-mas Ski Trip

    I would welcome recommendations for a family ski trip (two adults and a nine year old) over the x-mas break (Dec. 25 - Jan. 1)? Our two priorities are few crowds and direct flight from NYC / no more than 1-2 hour drive from local airport. Decent conditions/terrain would be nice as well :)...
