You know what chaps my ass?

You…probably.

If you're an asshole when it comes to skiing, then YOU chap my ass. Simple.

For example, if you are one of the many stuck ups who ski at Bridger bowl and think you are better than everyone because you have been skiing there for 3 or 4 years (your whole college career) or maybe your whole life, i got news for you. Oddly enough, you DON’T own the whole mountain. Weird.

“What’s that? You hike the ridge? WHAT? With BOTH of your feet? Wow, you're better than all these people!”

Fuck that.

I don’t know anyone here on NS and who they are in real life, but when people like KLD rip on others for wearing baggy clothes and skiing the park, that just screams 'fuckbag' to me. What right do you have to judge other people based on what they wear? What if skiing was about how they PERFORM? God, that’d be weird. And I don’t mean what tricks they can or can’t throw, I mean how well they ski, overall. Clothing isn’t part of skiing; style is. If you prefer tight clothes style, cool. Rock it. But what you're doing when you start singling out a group of skiers without even knowing them is just bringing the sport back to the late 80's when only white rich people in tight clothes skied. I don’t know about you but a gay stiffy 360 looks horrible when compared to a slow steezy 1 (its ok KLD, keep those spread eagles sexy) You’re killing all of the progression we the skiers and the pros have worked hard to achieve. Just cuz Bridger bowl jumped on the whole ‘terrain park’ bandwagon late doesn’t make it a sin for people to ski it. If Tanner Hall showed up and came to ski Bridger, I can guarantee that you would take back everything you said and suddenly be hypocrites, making it ok for him to wear baggy clothes.

On another note, what’s the deal with poles here? In my opinion poles serve absolutely no purpose unless you are hiking backcountry (and that’s only to keep balance WALKING). I agree that beginners should ski with poles to learn the motions and everything, but letting go of your poles and skiing without them is just another way to make skiing more interesting and fun. I ski without poles occasionally and every time the whole mountain just stares as if I’m breaking rule number one and I should be taken out and slaughtered. Yet, if you go to any big ski resort (outside of Montana) with many people pushing the sport of skiing, you will see TONS of people skiing POLE LESS. Its part of the progression. So why would anyone here look down on it? Maybe it could be the hundreds of ‘die hard’ skiers here at Bridger who refuse to let change occur. MAYBE. It could also be the fact the Montana in general is late on the news...no, never mind, it is those people. It’s the people stuck in the traditional mindset of what skiing should be.

Dissin on people wearing baggy clothes, dissing those in the park and those with no poles. But oh, when they go home and they watch Teddy Bear Crisis, or WAR, they become obsessed with all these new school skiers pushing the sport in new directions. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the clothing most of them wear (gasp) is usually no smaller than XL. And (god forbid!) they ski in the park! And (oh no) most of them train with no poles.

HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED?!?!

And BAM, suddenly all the ridge rats have their whole world turned upside down. Who’da thunk?

ALL I AM SAYING::

Is that maybe you who talk shit on this new wave of skiing hitting Montana should chill the fuck out and ease the fuck back. SKIING IS CHANGING. Get over it. I know its taken a long time to reach the far unknown world called Bozeman, but yes, its here. And when you rip on all this new change coming, it makes you an asshole. If people aren’t free to ski how, where and when they want, then its no longer freeskiing, the ‘free’ has been taken out of it. You are the Hitler of skiing. Promote your self skiing and continue to ski how you want to, don’t change if you don’t want to. But realize that without change skiing would have been dead in 98’. Realize your place as the dying breed of skiers. Open your mind up to progression within the sport to better it for everyone. Skiing is about having fun and doing what you want on the hill, no one should be judged poorly for their style or taste in skiing.

There, I said it. Now that it’s out there, go ahead and rip on me for writing this (cuz I know you all will). They breed the skulls thick here in MT...I’ve probably offended most of you, but the truth hurts.

 
Ok bro, sounds like first of all you need a big ass tube of carmex for that chapped ass of yours. I like how you come on here and bitch about other peoples bitching. Even though I wasn't bitching in that thread. I think when people dress like tanner hall and ski like a 5 year old, its pretty fucking rediculas. I was judging them on how they ski you fucking tool. You probably just started skiing bridger this season, so you have no fucking idea how it was in the past, otherwise you would be pissed off too. On any given day, I get up there and the parking lot is almost full. Great for bridger, shitty for locals, seeing how most of the new traffic is tourists and shit. What makes bridger sick is its hardcore local vibe, and you not being a local probably cannot comprehend. I don't know where the fuck you get that I am anti change, because I'm def not. You know what, I think my ass is a little chapped after reading your gay ass post. What you think by your nice little bitch session your going to get the entire Montana forum to conform to what you say? You just sound like a fucking D bag. Don't talk about shit that you don't know anything about.
 
Freeskier2885, you are probably the most retarded kid i fucking know. Yes, me and him and out "crew" bring back the 80s with tight cloths and stiff 360s, you are SO RIGHT! HOW DID YOU GUESS!!?! dude, shut the fuck up, you have no idea what you are talkin about, and you wasted alot of time bitching at someone who is the complete opposite of what you described. I hope you feel smart and feel like you acomplished something in that little rant, cause know one else thinks the same, except that dude who gave you props cause its long, but that doesnt count.
 
..."chill the fuck out and ease the fuck back". just my opinion. but there you go again, bringing back the 'local' scene. shall I refer to my first argument? YOU DONT OWN THE MOUNTAIN

but also, yeah, parking has been really horrible at bridger this year. i think they need to enforce that upper carpool lot cuz i see SO many people driving in solo and parking there
 
oh, pussyfooter had something to say too, but was too afriad to post it. here:

You are so stupid.

SHIT. Hey, gimme a minute to build me a time machine so i can meet you back in 2nd grade, ok?

its an opinion.
 
You think my friend kld is a kid who wears tight pants, hates park, and does pencil 360s. Hence, you are so stupid.
 
Yeah no shit we don't own the mountain. But I have been skiing there for my entire life. Big sky is where the tourists go, its big, its expensive and its easy. It sucks when the mountain that you have known all your life starts getting overrun with tourists and kids like I described. Kids that are "thugged" and have no idea of how to really ski. THOSE ARE THE KIDS THAT PRETEND TO OWN THE MOUNTAIN. You don't know me and you don't know bridger, so I don't see how you really have any validity in critisizing me.
 
And I don't know about you, but most of the new people that are coming to bridger can't even take turns in a lift line right, you might be one of them. That really "chaps my ass."
 
YES. i agree. i respect this post becuase it speaks the truth in an honest, opinionated way. props.

however, when you say shit like:

"all I know is that they are soo fucking annoying, because they really do think that they rule, when in fact they really don't."

"They any good?"

"Yeah I was behind them in the lift line and it was funny as fuck, One goes "Dude that gap was so big." And the other goes fuck yeah dude this time I am gunna clear the whole bush."

...it kinda makes you sound like a conceeded dick, exactly what i'm arguing against. might i note that those are all qoutes from YOU in your 'thuggin' bridger skiiers post. all you SEEM to care about is their 'skill' and how they ski...but they're out there having fun with the terrein and doing what they want. so wheres the crime? what gives you the right to say that shit? unless, that was YOU i saw competing in the x-games today...but it wasnt, so chill. let em ski
 
Yeah bro, what I failed to mention in that post is the way the kids like that look at everyone on the hill. They sit and pretty much sneer at anybody that looks their way, like "Hey, I have XL pants, I am good." and then when I hear a conversation like the one I heard, it really pisses me off, because these kids have no right to act superiour, because chances are 70 percent of the people that are in that same line not acting like assholes could ski circles around them.
 
i just think its easier to mind your own business despite of how others can ski or what they wear. who cares. let everyone do what they wanna do; ski the park, the ridge, with or without poles, whatever. just dont be so judgemental and one sided towards it all.
 
I guess you just don't see it from my point of view. What I see is Bridger losing it's identity more every year for the sake of "change" and keeping up with what everyone else is doing. Soon there will be some big lodges and condos at the bottom. The plans are already made. I guess you have to be a local to understand.
 
yea, but maybe that change is for the better. more skiers, more people pushing the sport. sure it'll be busier at the base, but no one skis the base anyways. they're opening up more boundaries so theres more room, plus you'll still have all your secret spots that none of the tourists will no about. its just expansion. if bridger were to stay the same forever, the reality is that it would die off. i understand completly what you're talking about, but you gotta see it for future plans and not just how much it sucks right now.
 
Ive been riding there for ever, im so much more hard core than you. and i know codys going to say something mean to you too
 
Dude you are such a bitch, no one cares. KLD is right about everything he said. Tickets are getting more expensive because they are expanding. Progression? The biggest progression you will hear any pro talk about is meshing BC with tricks. Thats what we do bitch;. We ahve been spinnin 3s and huckin backs off cliffs forever. I like the vibe there, I have been skiing there for 12 years on and off. With a pass 4 of them. I don;t want more people, and I don't want expandsion. I want to ride the lifts with ski bum patrollers that have fatter skiis then me and shred the gnar like mad, and with guys that charge mad lines and drop 50 footers on a regular basis. I don't want park rats there. It sucks.
 
you aren't a local so you dont have the ability to understand where we are coming from. you probably got to the mountain after they even changed it some. dont even post if you didn't at least remember skiing when alpine went to the bottom, pierres was a double chair, and the middle lodge was a small little shack. fuck you and your commercialized ass. go back o where you came from if your ass is so chapped, i hear they are looking for more stupid people in california...
 
Maybe instead of whining and telling the entire state of Montana to conform to what you think is right, you should just move somewhere else. Then you can feel free to hang your ass out of your XXL pants, blare rap from your ipod, and drag your pole-less hands all over the mountain, and according to what you said in your first post, you'd look super cool in the process.
 
I'm not taking sides here, cuz I'm outta Country, but half of the responses to this post verified some of the gripes in the original post. Why can't we all just get along???

Anyways, I know you guys would rather talk about guys' asses & such, but I prefer a chick wearing tight pants over XL. Call me gay.

[I expect a post saying "Gay" right after this.]
 
no just kidding man just wanted to live up -to your expectations. I think that this guy needs us to revolt against him, cuz he sounds like a dick.
 
hahahah Verno, nice post.

Why the hell do you think that since you ride at Bridger you are more hardcore than other people?

You dont like your mountain getting busier? DEAL with it SUCKA, this world is overpopulated as it is. People will go wherever they want. Perhaps you could maybe try to make friends with your fellow skiers instead of just shunning them off cause they havent hiked the ridge as many times as you.

KLD sounds like a dumbass.
 
Bridger doesn't need these park rats at all, thats why there is big sky. Dude you're a fucking tool. We don't act like we own the mountain at all, next time get your shit right. And so what if me kaids and pussyfooter rep the pencil steeze we're still better than u if we did ski like that bitch. So please do all of us bridger locals a favor and go give yourself a bloody necklace!
 
What I don't get about Freeskier's post is that he whines about how we aren't accepting of his style, then he turns around and tells us that we have to change to his. Isn't that a tad bit hypocritical? I think instead of whining about other people it's just easier to ignore them and do your own thing. You can hang out in the terrain park, I'll ski the mountain, and we can all be happy. By the way, I hiked the ridge twice yesterday.
 
Haha you sound like a dumbass. Maybe you should go apply that chap stick to this fags severly chapped ass, because you sound like you would be into that type of thing. And cody, amen bro.
 
Why do you have to worry about what the kids do? Maybe they like doing it and they have fun doing it. Isn't that what our sport's abour right? Care about how you ski, and have fun doing it. Don't diss kids because they like what they do. Have a joke and your done. Go have fun and ski.
 
^I think that's all they did...have a joke and be done. Nobody was like "yeah I beat the shit out of those kids with the big pants" they just said it was funny. And a lot of people, me included, are pretty pissed about what's happening at Bridger. Most people if they wanted to ski at a Big Sky would go to Big Sky not Bridger (Duh). Thats why I ski at bridger. Bridger doesn't have that much of an attitude at all compared to other resorts I've skied. Get over it.
 
^Thank you, thats pretty much all that needs to be said. So freeskier, hows that chapped ass coming? If the carmex didn't help im sure concept will rub some vaseline on it for you.
 
There is a way too seriously angry vibe coming from this forum. You guys didn't even really get his original message at all. He was trying to tell people to lighten up about different skiers with different styles. Just go out there and ski how you want and don't worry about what everyone else is doing. SKI AND LET SKI. Although, the way he posted was kind of hypocritical in calling out and complaining about other skiers, just like he didn't want them to do. BUT, you guys do need to "chill the fuck out" because Bridger and MOntana is changing and there is nothing you can do about it by whining and hating on people. Perhaps, you need to move somewhere that no one knows about yet. Good luck with that. By the way I've lived in Montana my entire life and I love it, and I am proud that I can ski the whole mountain, park included, as can 2885. And so what if he hasn't lived here as long as us. Everyone's got a right to ski where they want even if they didn't have the fortune of being born here.

peace-
 
I live near Mammoth, and I was thinking about coming up to Montana to go to school in Bozeman. I have been reading back in bunch of these threads - sorry fro bringing this one back.

I like to ski all over the mountain, and I like to ski park. There is a lot of hairy terrain here, and when I went to visit bozeman I skied at bridger. I was honestly pretty intimidated/amazed/excited with the terrain that I saw. I liked the attitude.

This thread - I don't know if some people didn't think about what exactly they were saying, but it seems like the local pride type thing is sorta odd.

There is nothing good that can come from "brand new condos," I know because I am seeing the changes in mammoth. But change isn't always a bad thing. Bridger is owned by the city yes? just based on the nature of it, it will stay small. But you are crazy if you think that more money is neccessarily a bad thing. Updating lifts? having a well funded ski patrol? matenence? more people means that the mountain has more ways to ensure that it can operate in the future and can operate safely.

And having a terrain expansion? It seems to me that this means more cliffs to explore, and more spacing out of the mountain. I realize that you can hike it all now, and believe me, I earn plenty of my turns. I just don't know what is so wrong with it. The mountains around bridger have a huge amount of backcountry. It seems like everyone has plenty to go around. A little more variation taht i slift accessed couldn't be bad.

Now a disclaimer... I don't know about the issues, I can only parrallell. I am a local here. I love beinga local, and to use a term thrown around in this thread, the people from L.A. can REALLY chap my ass. But it seems like some of the arguments here are ill-founded.

Just my thoughts. Try not to flame me too hard, but feel free to try to convince me otherwise.
 
^^The ski area itself is "community-owned, however much of the land around it is not. Most of it is still GNF, but in the time it takes to say "land swap" and "Bush administration" that could quickly change. In fact, a couple hundred condos are planned for the base area (I believe). I also realize I have a severe case of Not IN My Backyard syndrome, but if everyone did the whole planet would be a lot better off.
 
I rock baggy clothes, ski bridger, do tricks, sometimes ski switch all day, and refuse to ever put down my poles, I agree with Battle Ridge Productions.
 
You brought up some excellent points.

However.

Bridger has one of the most respected patrols in the nation, which leads me to believe that it is probably pretty well funded. Those guys work their asses off, and it shows.

The thing about adding condos and development to a ski area is that it creates a slippery slope effect. Look at Big Sky. They now have a ridiculous amount of real estate going on at the base around the mountain.

The problems is that the mountain would be selling its soul for expansion, which doesn't sit right with the bridger vibe.

Bridger is an area, not a resort, and it should stay that way.

The Ridge should not have lift access, the hike weeds out the people that shouldnt be there. Also, the other terrain is just a hike, and should stay that way.
