Any pix or a trip report?

I may be mistaken, but I believe that Patrick's ski-day count for the North American winter is going to be heavily weighted toward the Ottawa molehills.

I tallied one of BobbyD's days at 56,000 this year. The Utah locals' vertical by day does vary drastically by quality of day, but I suspect BobbyD's average is 2x admin's. Even by my picky definition I suspect admin & company were ~50% powder in a year like this since he was 25% in the lean 2006-07 season.

I skied at Teton Pass several years ago now so I had a little bit of a guide to go by. I drove 4 hours pretty much from memory to get there, the final hour between a a car in front and one behind up a pretty poor road from Choteau. Getting there at 10am on a Tuesday with 17 cars in the lot all day and 6-12" of 2nd day untouched powder(closed Mondays) made for fun.
At the base there was little difference IMO although they now have a restraurant open in the lodge which was not open on my previous visit and was actually closed for the day this time around. The bar was as it was.
The double chair has been repaired a little, I remember having a picture last time around showing a bolt simply lifting out of the wooden part of the chair I was sitting on.
The new lift opened up some wonderful terrain but no new vertical as such and next years lift opening up more terrain and vertical will be even better. Amazingly quiet it was my kinda place but the new owner will never make money on this. It is too far from anywhere, simple. A small town miles from anywhere with the nearest large cities being Kalispell to the Northwest and Great Falls to the Northeast and both have IMO better options closer to them.
I don't want this thread to turn into a discussion on your own plans but I would finish up by saying that I would come back here next year for a day and I would go to Alaska and ski at your hill for a day, but I am a mad Scotsman who thinks nothing of travelling miles to ski in far off places like South Dakota and small hills in Cali, Utah and Colorado. In essense there ain't many resorts out west now that I have not been to. But I am not the norm, the majority of people in Montana have never heard of half the small places even in their own state. Most know Big Sky, Whitefish and Bridger, beyond that they look blankly at you so immediately you have a problem. If the "locals" dont go then your struggling.
Money is no object to this guy, he can loose millions and still be rich, this is not the case with the MRA.

I think the 25 days is quite impressive too. As most of you know I had a much less serious version (3 ribs, 3% deflation of one lung) of this accident 3 seasons ago: viewtopic.php?t=6752lookn4powder wrote:developing Oxycodone habit.
Thankfully I needed the really strong drugs for only about 2 weeks. The ski layoff was 7 weeks.

As of August 11 (2010), I had skied 2,476 days in a row and logged about 81.5 million vertical feet.
