I hope it is. Heading there to ski for a couple days in March on my next grand tour as a friend from Scotland is spending a few weeks there at the same time.

Personally, I'd have grabbed Mancuso for the gig. Always thought she would be more fun.

Don't recall any cell issues. Your kinda thinking along my lines though. As a visitor I am normally going up regardless of the weather/snow however in days gone by I had no phone and no laptop so until I got to resorts in the morning I had no idea what to expect so could see some benefit in a...

Big Mountain Montana are planning on installing 2 beacons downtown to show when the mountain has either powder days or an inversion. Any thoughts?

Yes, I think it is worth a visit. There's some reasonable terrain, superb scenery and I'm sure in good snow it would be deserted. But for me one day was enough back in 2005, I will probably head back at some point but of the places you have yet to visit I would certainly head to Powder Mountain...

I can 100% say that Utah is the driest state I've visited.... I can never find a beer as I'm sure admin can confirm :lol:

10? That is a helleva big patrol out that day I assume coldsmoke! soulskier, Philipsburg is my 2nd home, I love the place and have a lot of good friends there now. Absolutely superb mountain too.

Well, I am locked in and ready to rock with even by my standards a longer trip than normal and I think the longest ever by a day but I may be wrong. Friday 16th March - Fly Aberdeen(6.20am) to Missoula(7.20pm) staying in Missoula that evening I'd imagine. Saturday 17th March - Up to Philipsburg...

Whitefish in every single area leads the way over Fernie. Better town by a mile, better mountain by a country mile serviced by a vastly superior lift system, as good snow generally and less chance of rain. The base area at Big Mountain is expanding when I visited last winter compared to how I...

As most are aware I fly to the USA from Aberdeen annually via 3 flights to Montana and agree with this 100%, it is simply down to the individual. I actually think jet lag is BS but that's my perspective. I go to bed at 10-11pm the night before after a whisky with dad to start the holiday, get...

Nice pictures Bobby, great work. Are you going to try to ski every month this year?

Best thread of the "winter" thus far. All women should be built like that and wear that while skiing in the sun.

Yes, I've been dubious myself taking everything into account. Even from Choteau its at least 45 mins on a snowy road. I made good time and did Philipsburg to Teton in snow in bang on 3 hours from memory. Then headed onto Kalispell which was again a pretty big drive for most. He will need a lot...

I received an email this morning confirming that at this stage there will not be a new lift at Teton Pass for 2011-2012. Came from none less than the owner himself.

Added to my favorites to pickup when in the USA next March. I've been facinated with lost resorts for a long time, never really got much in Montana. Speaking of Montana, have you checked the Teton Pass website recently? I detect that the grand plans by the new owner are deminishing a little...

Despite my travels skiing anything on my route I can beat those mentioned by others but some spring to mind. Kendall Mtn I believe is my smallest at 240'. Granlibakken, Howelsen, Little Ski Hill and Bear Paw amongst the others that I recall being small and I was gutted not to find Lee's Ski...

I've always been gutted that I missed skiing Marshall Mountain by a matter of days twice in the early 2000s and it has been closed ever since. I skied once at Tamarack, Idaho before it closed and reopened. All the others seem to be still going and sometimes I can only wonder how!

Weird, it has just appeared on the 2 minute BBC news between 2 TV programmes as I was reading this. I loved my time in New Mexico where I skied a few resorts and stayed in Alamagordo and Santa Fe. Will definately go back some day.

Incredible!

A definate no from me. Kids perhaps and if I ever had any I would make them up til a certain point where it would become their personal choice. With a home hill in Montana I cant see it happening any time soon!
