Northern Rockies/Alberta Big Sky 2020-2021
Free Wydaho stone grinds off of Dakota, Shedhorn, Challenger and the Headwaters lifts!
Problem solved. Spoke to the tune shop at Sturtevant's in Bellevue, WA. They have a brand new Montana and know how to use it. They agreed to run the skis through for me Monday night while I waited. Their prices are reasonable and their techs are artists with those tunes, just look at the pretty picture the carved in the base of my SR95's

. Myhusband is kind of freaking out about his new Stocklis.

Nice! What did you demo?
And even for Big Sky it is f***ing cold at the moment so bring the heavy down jackets! i am here at the moment for the FIS international Masters and stripping down to my race suit for SG training today was painful! 
And you can thank the Masters racers for the new snow. Organize some speed races and it is sure to start dumping....
Has certainly made wax choice interesting....i thought i had waxed pretty cold but not cold enough. -12C snow temps and new snow makes for a tricky choice. So when prepping SG skis tonight I (nearly!) went for the Hybrid green in my box which i have never used! But chickened out and went with cold graphite and Holmenkol hybrid -10-16 plus ultra instead. A bit of a crap shoot so hope it works! If not it will need to be supplemented with overlays for the second race
... Since this will be the last opportunity for most of us to (legally) use flouro waxes may as well be liberal with what is in the box!

I am bringing my insulated ski pants and down ski jacket. Also looks like I will need mitts not gloves. On the plus side this weather is naturally conducive to wearing face masksAnd even for Big Sky it is f***ing cold at the moment so bring the heavy down jackets! i am here at the moment for the FIS international Masters and stripping down to my race suit for SG training today was painful!

Just factor it in to the cost of your ski trip. Life is too short to be skiing old skis. Lone Peak is a giant pile of rocks; you will enjoy yourself (and the mountain) more if you relax your ptex standards.
Nordica Santa Ana 98. Loved them. Drove to Bozeman and bought a pair. They will be perfect for me at Targhee, where they picked up 14” overnight, another 10” or so today, and another 10” or so forecast over the weekend. Today’s drive will be...an adventure! Thank GOD for a Grand Cherokee with new Blizzaks!
@AmyPJ, if it make you feel better I’ve trashed Stocklis here in the biggest snow seasons, It’s the price of doing battle at BS.
@ScotsSkier, Thought I saw you yesterday, good luck with the race and hope the r crew is taking care of you guys.
@dovski, it’s a dry cold, think of it kinda like Arizona only not. Since skiing here full time, I’ve been going with heated boots and gloves, call me a pussy but what ever works.
Ullr has turned on the faucet for us, it’s time to go to work.

A rarity to see three people in the Big at the same time . . . !
Blower today. Enjoy. The drive in the snow has been awesome.@AmyPJ, if it make you feel better I’ve trashed Stöcklis here in the biggest snow seasons, It’s the price of doing battle at BS.

For whatever reason my husband, who has tuned skies professionally for 23 years, gets all wigged out about scratches and dinged up edges. I think because he’s blown a few edges out himself and also seen the damage that can done way too many times. As in, those brand new skis are toast kind of damage.
Can’t wait to ski Big Sky again. I saw a lot of stuff that I wanted to get into, but I wasn’t about to lead my friend in over her head (we did accidentally get into a pretty long mogul run-thank God for having a highly experienced instructor along!)
It's about time. Got an alert around noon that parking was over 75% full

Hi BSS, give me a shout if you see me on the hill. Would be good to say hi! I will be wearing a light blue USST jacket with blue pants or in a light blue/white USST race suit if between runs
Based on your moniker I was expecting you to be in a kilt. I will keep an eye out for that USST jacket.

I’m surprised the deck at Everett’s isn’t open. Wouldn’t take much staff and offers another location.
Holiday sized crowd at lower elevations in BS today.
