Pixie Dust

It was hard saying goodbye to Big Sky Lone Mountain today but Bridger Bowl was waiting. Skier Magazine is doing a full 6-page spread on this place and P.R. Pro Doug took us to the top for the best powder-skiing in the country. They call this type of snow 'pixie dust' and it's like floating through clouds when you ski into it. Today it was weighed down with a bit more moisture and yours truly, along with 4 other press peeps, took headers into it, same trail, same location. What a sight - 3 pro's and 1 intermediate fully buried except for our K2's protruding from above. I struggled to get back on my feet with my guide giving me pointers on how to twist and turn.

Bridger Bowl is my kind of mountain - intimate trails, lots of powder, friendly staff and glades I can handle. The 2-seater chairlifts, 4 in total, sweep you off your feet and rock you to the top. The freshly painted vintage lifts, circa 1960's, have been well maintained and take no time to get to the top. The sun lit up the mountain until closing and I took some fabulous silhouette shots with a bright blue sky as a backdrop. Thank you Team Bridger - Terry and sons for repeating the same Double Diamon run over and over and over again while I shot from below.

Following Bridger we spent the night in a newly-opened B&B in Big Timber, Montana. "House Keeping" - Oh No, I can't continue blogging I've got housekeeping at the door demanding entry. More to come soon!
