Shit didn't read earlier have a killer time at Bridger Bowl
-
Bridger bowl, lost trail in Montana, I'll eventually head to Wyoming for grand targhee.
I wanted to leave a week ago, didn't happen, everyone got 18+ inches and now it's showing sun for a week. Oh well, it'll be nice groomer skiing. I might chase the snow if I need too. Hopefully it'll snow some during the next coming weeks.

Seul check it out amazing footage

Into the mind was wild. Sherpas cinematography is second to none in the ski industry. Those season changing time lapse shots are awesome. And the surf/snowboard transitions in DCP's part from into the mind.
I also really enjoyed sweetgrass productions film Valhalla. It was filmed over two seasons, most in nelson bc, which is hands down my favourite small town in bc. The video definitely has a bit of a hippy vibe though, which is quite in line with nelson (there are stills tons of draft dodgers there). So that could be a deal breaker to some. It has some of the most relatable footage I've ever seen in a movie though.

Next Level 1 video!

Nothing special but a couple pics just cause.
Day 6 back on the slopes after 8 years break. I'm finally beginning to get comfertable again. I'm also being able to ski for 4-5 hours without feeling like I'm going to die. The first few days I was getting 2-3 hours in before I had to quite. I got 5 today and it was the coldest and windiest out of the 6 so far.
I'm not big on pictures or taking them but I have grabbed a couple.
Self shot taken today at Bridger Bowl.
This shot was from Thursday at Lost Trail, it was the only powder I've gotten to ski so far, you can't tell in the photo really but shit was gorgeous.

Looks beautiful.nice choice on the arcteryx hard shell as well.

Thanks, I'm sure the shells were a bit over kill for my needs but if they last for 10-20 years then it doesn't really matter the cost. What sold me was the inside was as beatifully finished as the outisde.
Still sleeping in the van, the only had part is getting up in the morning, everyhting is easy after htat.
Had my first real crash today since being back. I was skiing on the edge of a trail, caught my inside edge which flipped me head over heals down a 10 foot embankment into a large sapling which I caught across my back/head (yah helmets). Got a bloody lip somehow and a sore back. Ah well, whats a ski vacation without a couple good crashes you walk away from.
Bridge is possibly going to get a little snow tomorrow which would be nice. I won't go down to Grand Targhee unless they get some snow, it's 200 miles each way from where I am. I've been talking with people on the lifts and pretty much the entire west is dry. Where I am currently has probably the best snow in the country which is consistent with what I've seen watching the national weather. I was going to be back in MN for the superbowl (Feb 3?) but they I think they are predicting major storms for that weekend so I might extend my stay another week. I have to be back by the 8th. I have some pretty shaped skis (110/76/102) anyway which I've discovered suck for riding powder so I might just go back early and go back next winter with a better plan and new powder skis

Since you mention the hard shell lasting 10-20 years, ill include this documentary from patagonia. Here's to BIFL items.
