What’s a “Sandbag” ski run?
June had a number of snow events right past the beginning of Summer and early July got some snow.So only missed snow in August this year? (Wasn't there a big July snow storm up top?)
What’s a “Sandbag” ski run?
To continue my "off" timing this year...
Went to Jackson last year when the gathering was at Big Sky and this year I'm headed to BS while y'all head to JH. Since it's been a while since I've been to BS and you all were there last year, anything stand out as runs you enjoyed (could be puckery or smooth), food to be found or other tips that I can't get from the normal Internet guides? We have one "intervanced" skier, but the rest are advanced to expert.
Any info would be much appreciated!!!!
@bruuce - shoot me your dates for BS.
We are at the gathering for only part of it and would be happy to show you around when your in town
Last time we got together in Steamboat we didn’t get to ski together- we need to fix that !
Skiing off the Tram goes from black diamond Liberty Bowl at the "easiest" on up to crazy when you can see where you're going. As it's about 1400' of exposed vertical there aren't many places to relax and cruise, for most ordinary mortals. One of the places we liked off Shedhorn was Dude Park (well spaced trees) which can be skied on even low vis days. There are more trails off Dakota and Shedhorn than there is grooming which can make for soft snow skiing. The Bowl has fun lines too and open slopes with good pitch. Single Jack and Double Jack are on the Moonlight Basin side of the place. While you're at Big Sky make a trip to the Corral for a meal. It's a cowboy bar with good bar food and happy people. Don't expect it to be quiet and romantic as it ain't either of those. Need a ski shop, rentals, tunes, or repairs? Find Lone Peak Sports, it's easy as it has ski in/ski out access. Extra points if you can find Rice Bowl and Buffalo Jump. Enjoy.
