I'll be teaching at Lookout Pass this year. (I-90 on the MT/ID border) Last year I know we got some skiing time in the weekend before Thanksgiving. I know there is some snow there and about a 4" base so I'm sure it won't take too much more before they get open. My only problem is finding daycare options for the kids.....

Targhee is opening tomorrow (21st) I am going up on Thursday!!! I am sure it will be a rock board day.

The Resort formerly known as Big is looking pretty bleak for snow!!

I will report on Targhee Thursday night.

Happy Turkey Day all!

I am hitting bigsky the 6th thru the 9th if anyones gonna be up there let me know. It looks like its geting dumped on.


The BIg fish is catching some good snow for opening day that weekend but I made plans before there was any and it didn't look like we were getting any


oh well the next weekend it is on for sure. Hey dave let me know when you figure your regular schedule out and I will try and hit it with you guys a little more regular this yr.

Johnasmo and I rode Targhee this weekend. It was great!! Bummer you are going to miss opening at Big.

Big Sky has been getting snow too so it should be really good.

Get any new boards for this season?

See ya on the Big!!

[Dr D]

hmm new boards (looking around to see if wife is in the room)


yeah I have

a dynastar osin 3800

A dynastar legend autodrive

A madd BX world cup

a set of lovely blaze orange head stratos pros that actually fit

and a few small experiments involving small softer alpine boards with softies at high angles

I am hoping to get a surfrodz demo this yr as well.

Bridger opened yesterday and it was pretty darn good on the groomers. A bit scary off the groomed but good carving.

I'm headed up tomorrow.

John and I skipped the Big Fish opening and headed to Targhee again. Great snow and good weather again. Met Michael from Munich Germany on a Nidecker GS. He was ripping up the groomers all weekend. We even had fresh tracks most of the way home on the drive.

Rumor around town is that Turner Mtn is opening Friday!! www.skiturner.com
Closest thing to Cat/Heliskiing there is. Not great for groomed carving but amazing fall lines, long runs with great vertical!

[dredman]

Turner will NOT be opening today but will be open on Saturday the 21. Should be really good. Fresh snow has been stacking up all week with over 12 new at the summit.
