TR: Beartooth Pass

**corn dog** · 06-04-2007, 05:07 PM

Spent the weekend doing the roadside hits on the Beartooth Pass. A couple of days, doing laps at rock creek headwall and gardiner headwall. Was a good weekend with tasty food, tasty beer, bumps in the backcountry, and a hula hoop girl.

Hiking across the plateau

The plateau ends, the skiing begins

WTF is the old man doing on the side? Looks like he's keeling over and ready to piss his pants from laughing so hard.

how was the snow in Gardner? Gonna be up there Sunday for sure and maybe Saturday as well. Any other mags wanna make Gardner laps on Sat or Sun?

**montanaskier** · 06-04-2007, 06:12 PM

On a somewhat differnt but related note......I have a buddy that wants to ski Gardner but has no avy gear or much avy training, would he be safe to ski that line? I have personally never seen Gardner slide in the late spring or early summer. Assuming we are off the snow early and no new snow has recently fallen, can I assume he would be safe to ski that slope?

**corn dog** · 06-04-2007, 09:22 PM

The main line on Gardner was pretty bumped, must have seen a ton of traffic. I wouldn't be too worried about that stuff sliding, as long as its not super warm etc etc. I would ski it w/o beacon in current conditions.

Wow, that's Beartooth pass at the beginning of June?!

**Bozoskier** · 06-05-2007, 10:23 AM

Damn that snow went away fast. We went on Memorial Day, and skied all of the way to the RC with plenty of snow, but it was really warm. Love May goggle tans.

I love that..... hike through the meadow.... where's the snow? Just on the other side! Yay! Way to get some skiing in even though the snow is sparse there!!!!

**smitchell333** · 06-05-2007, 07:02 PM

Sweeeeeet. I did that a few years back - more snow than that though.

**cowdog** · 06-05-2007, 08:16 PM

Looks like fun corn dog! Great to see some shots of Thomas. He sounded stoked today and I now better understand. Good stuff! BTW, I can't believe how thin the snow is for this time of year. Wow!
