Trip to Idaho in search of enough fresh for the bottomless ride along with a lot of good holiday eating and relaxing. Found it( sure helps finding the bottomless ride on 136mm under foot boards). Upon arrival to Schweitzer just before Christmas 09 they received 6″ which really was 10″ off piste. Conditions were dust on crust w/ temps in the teens AND freezing FOG. Decided to keep it safe and get a better ski on some low angle tree/utility line skiing off of the Stela Chair above the cross country network. Note: Schweitzer DOES have an open BC policy, Just live to ski another day Snow Troopers. If you want to experience the BC but don’t have the “know how” but can ski “Blue Square” powder runs I suggest contacting Selkirk Powder Co. located right on top of the Great Escape high speed quad chair( they also have an office in the Schweitzer village.
After a few days of patience and good low angle slackcountry we were rewarded w/ Blue for untracked wind packed powder turns under bluebird skies! AWESOME!
Be Sure to check the vid.
