Bridger

This was Aaron's first run ever off the ridge.







The northwest flow is still going strong out there, we've got a Winter Storm Warning till tomorrow. . .

Skiing

I never managed to post these. Marshall and I went skiing in the north Bridgers last Wednesday on my birthday. We both work at the university where apparently it's ok to just not show up all day if you don't want to. It was a really nice day and the skiing was surprisingly good. We skied "the Great One" which is a north facing and very well shaded chute that is well known around here because it will hold snow well into summer. Or, in our case, will hold snow that fell early in the fall.

Summer adventures

Here's some photos from the last 4 big scenic bike rides

Curly Lake: A newly popular ride in the Tobacco roots, starts with around 4,000 feet of uphill to just over 10,000 feet, then it's a loooooooong way back down.






The Bridger Ridge: It was a goal of mine for some time to ride the Bridger ridge trail all the way from Fairy Lake to the M. It was pretty cool being way up there for 20 some miles.








The Gallatin Crest: A remote ride from Hyalite Peak to Windy Pass on the "Devils Backbone". This trail is close to being closed to bikes.

Italian Peaks: Another threatened trail, it features the coolest spring ever.
