 It’s the end of January and ski season continues to plod along in Southwest Montana. We have not been fortunate enough to receive any type of consistent snowfall lately, but the coverage is adequate to ski the majority of the lines at Bridger Bowl. Robb Gaffney recently made the journey from Tahoe to visit his family and partake in a classic Bozeman hardpack cycle. |

 For a die-hard skier, an extended forecast of “100% chance of rain” for your local ski area is infuriating. This was the forecast I was facing, so it was time to leave again. Where to this time? |

 For whatever combination of reasons, the Western US has been experiencing a slow start to the 2010 ski season. Shallow snowpacks and deep instability are a common theme in the Northern Rockies, but I needed to venture out and do some exploring for myself. Long time Bridger Bowl local turned road warrior Luke Driessen was headed on a mission to Teton Pass and needed an accomplice. Considering the fact that I had a grand total of zero obligations in Bozeman I joined in on the fun. |

 It’s likely that December 2009 will go down as having some of the worst conditions of the past 10 years of Mt. Baker’s history. Rain at the end of November, followed by almost two weeks of arctic outflows, turned the ski area and nearby backcountry into an ice cube. When precipitation finally returned, it was rain. We were already a month into our season and the tension along Highway 542 was running high. Where was our powder? |

 Some times the best plan is no plan. Tim and I were heading to South America, but less than 24 hours before we met in the Dallas/Ft. Worth airport on our way to Santiago, the only thing we both knew for sure was what day we had to be back in Santiago to fly out. In between our arrival and departure two weeks later there was a big question mark. |

 It's always better not to spend to much time there on the summit. The caproni showed us the way to escape. The black snow was as impressive to see as nice to ski... the very humid environment (sea is a few km away) made the crystals very cohesive and pleasant to track. |
