    Montana ski areas are closing this weekend.....boo hoo!

    Yep, its true. Some areas closed last weekend and Snowbowl and Big Sky are still open till Sun.

    Anyway, I'm a little bummed. The last day of the year is always a fun party! Always look forward to that.

    So Russ, I guess you'll be the designated "lift" driver this spring
    Let me know when you guys plan to go out and I'll try to afford some gas for the grampa sled ('78 panterra) to go with you.

    Last day of the season. Arrived with 2 inches new and left with 4 inches new. Who would have guessed it would end with powder!

    I don't know if dirt is the right word.... I think MUD is much more appropriate!

    Bryan, I guess the BBQ would have been much better if the last day of the season had sun!!! But what the heck, free food is free food... my cheese burger was good as I sat outside under an overhang shivering.... oh well.... this IS Montana...


    a toasted PBnJ???? is that a PNW thing???? what is with you crazy people????? hahahahahah

    My buddy used to feed me occasionally on the chair lift. Ask him. I probably have a photo of our gourmet lunches somewhere.

    Gourmet? For some reason I'm thinking peanut butter and jelly out of a pocket on a chair lift isn't exactly gourmet! Even if it is on toast! But you do have to keep your strength up when riding so hard!

    YOU evidently haven't had one of Ed's Gourmet PB&Js??? Something very fishy here. Are you really seeing Ed? What have you done with him?
