Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

One last Big Sky pic

He captions "Out of bounds, no avalanche control, 2500 vert in one shot (not for me, I had to
stop) telemark and hike out to next bowl..."


We have done out of bounds in the past. Always interesting.

Smart friend you have BD. That snow is looking 'wet', best to walk out carefully! Montana snow in these places is 'dry' and fluffy--the weather recently has had a lot of rain and moisture. Makes for great avalanches!

Thanks BD for the Montana pics. Does this Montanan's heart a world of good especially living here in the soggy side of Oregon.

I (almost) hate to see Big Sky outed! We were there the same week as your friend. Three bluebird days, three days with snow, excellent weather by Big Sky standards.

I am a blue skier, no chutes for me! But Big Sky offers everything we could want, including long runs where my friends and I were the only ones we could see up or down a long run. So there's more than just the extreme skiing there. But just quit talking about it. It is our little secret.

By the way, my favorite sound in the morning is those avalanche cannons! The sound of fresh snow and safety.
