Big Sky Ski Trip
| We downhilled at a small area called Bridger
Bowl which turned out to be a really good gem. We also visited the
national park for a day trip via snow coach 35 miles into the Old Faithful
area.
|
Even with deep snow, the thermal features like
this bubbling paint pot were as active as ever.
|
| Wildlife was easy to spot and we saw eagles,
bison, elk, swans and some other critters.
|
We cross country skied and had to
contend with roaming bison who didn't really mind us passing through. But it
was dicey!
|
| After that we met up with the boys from IL and
MI and got to our chalet which turned out to be great. Here's the view
of the Lone Peak (11,166 ft) that greeted us each morning.
|
Not a bad ski in/out location as Eric points
out.
|
| We tackled this mountain from all sides over the
course of 4 days. It is the second largest ski area in America after Vail
with over 5000 acres between the main resort of Big Sky and the sister
resort Moonlight Basin on the other side.
|
There is even a tram that goes up to the tip top
for very challenging runs and awesome views of the region.
|
| Jonathan starts a long descent from the summit.
|
Eric streams through a little pow on a cold
morning.
|
| Jeff high above the private resort called The
Yellowstone club which has members like Bill Gates and Tiger Woods.
|
Chris testing himself on the the steeps on a
3000 vertical foot run.
|
| The chalet, the guys, and our official insignia.

Craig
proudly
carries the flag on our final run where we took turns in route down to the
base area.
|
| A big contest called the Dummy Jump was going on
so we all pitched in props, tools, and talent to construct "Bode-Licious"
which was our towering entry complete with shimmering wings and Victoria's
Secrets attire. Although we had a blast through the whole thing, Bode only
made it halfway down the ramp before crashing and being engulfed in the
smoke from the smoke bombs we had affixed.
|
The winner of the contest was an awesome moose
on a surf board which caught some great air.
