On the heels of the Big Sky 19-20 Thread - Who's coming out to the biggest skiing in America this year ?
BIG SKY - Home of the Ram Charger 8 pack along with 37 other lifts and 5800+ acres !
We will be Skiing most days and still looking for new stashes beyond the 300 named runs, perhaps you know a few we don't !
Know your dates ? Post them here and will try to get together for a few runs.

Who knows perhaps a mini gathering pre or post Jackson hole

 

[Tiki]

I’m at BS 1/15-1/25, attending the Women’s Clinic 1/18-1/21. Returning to BS 2/25-3/7.

 

[Talisman]

We will need more snow to get to 5800 acres, but there is plenty open now.

 

[sbooker]

I'm heading to your part of the world from Australia at the end of February. Road trip style holiday.
I'll be skiing at Big Sky just for a couple of days - Feb 26 and 27.
Could you arrange a couple of bluebird powder days for me please?

 

[Talisman]

Bluebird days = tram lines of 45 to 60 minutes even mid week, but I will see what can be done.

Wow. That's a concern. Mid week general lifts? Much of a wait?

No, outside of Christmas/New Year, and maybe Spring Break weeks in March.

The Tram is unique in having meaningful lines.

 

[David Chaus]

I’ll be at BS with my SO on Feb 21 and 22, possibly for 1/2 day on 2/23 before driving to Jackson for the Gathering.

 

[BS Slarver]

Tram is unique alright - not to mention the small cabin

 

[Lofcaudio]

I'll be there March 3-5...cannot wait as I have never been before.

 

[BS Slarver]

Great meet up with @Talisman yesterday.
and conditions definitely didn’t suck.

Mountain is reporting another 3-7 last night on what had to be a solid 6” IMO the night before, the mountain is starting to shape up.

I know of a few other pugs coming but these are some posted visits so far.

Missing anyone ?

@Tiki Jan 1/18 - 21 woman’s clinic .... fun
@David Chaus Feb 21/22
@Tiki 2/25 -3/7
@sbooker Feb 26- 27
@Lofcaudio Mar 3-5

 

[Slide of Hans]

I'll be in Bozeman Jan 31 to Feb 3, and plan on gong to B-Sky and B-Bowl.

Some friends were coming up from J-Hole but that is now looking iffy.

 

[Lofcaudio]

@sbooker Feb 26- 27
@Lofcaudio Mar 3-5

So bummed I am missing @sbooker by just a few days! He and I have been following each other's posts (and trips) for years.

 

[Talisman]

Unfortunately my work schedule has me out of town when you are around. A Slide of Hands & Talisman ski day would have been Magical.

 

[Tiki]

I’m also coming in from Florida next week on the days OpenSnow is forecasting for frigid arctic air. The temps in Big Sky are usually fairly bearable for me, but I also “don’t ski under 3” (degrees).

January trips make packing a chore. DH will be side eyeing me to make sure I’m not checking a steamer trunk. I do recommend you bring all your woolies boys.

My dates in BS are actually 1/15-1/25 including the clinic. Back 2/25-3/7.

Oh that line! I nicely parade wave as I ski by it. I’ve never skied off the tram or Challenger. After 14 years at BS you’d think I’d have some confidence. Enter @Skisailor who, by the time we find another planet, might be able to talk me into it.

I'm guessing the women's clinic will have you skiing off one or both . . . enjoy it! (And report back)

@Lofcaudio - We’ve got an easy fix for you to get together with @sbooker, one of you just has to stay longer

Unfortunately I'm in a group and our dates are set.
@Lofcaudio Living Stateside I suspect your skiing will have progressed further than mine over the years so it's probably not a bad thing that our dates line up. You wouldn't want to be hamstrung by a permanent intermediate when you could be ripping the big lines on Lone Peak! Be sure to post of photo of you in the Big Couloir .
