The weather has been warm here in Montana. It’s been raining in the Meadow and probably raining up high too. I’ve still been trying to ski. Beehive Basin is just up the road and it’s a fantastic playground. There are mellow lines, big open bowls, tight couloirs, and some incredible lines. These shots are from the last few days. I haven’t skied anything super exciting, but I definitely have enjoyed the scenery and making turns with friends.
Just some fun pictures below, not the most exciting post.
This is Beehive Basin from near the trailhead.
There’s still this much snow at the trailhead on May 17.
Lee Metcalf Wilderness sign is half buried.
Now for some crazy west facing lines as you’re walking up Beehive.
Our approach…
I don’t have panaromic mode on this camera (coming soon), but here is 4th of July Couloir on Left, Beehive Peak, and the Honeycomb.
This is Gallatin Peak. I’ve skied the SE face, but not this face. Looks fun.
Big Sky looks like it’s mid-winter. Great coverage over that way.
The Sphinx
What a fun looking line out on Cedar. I’ve been eyeballing this one for a while now.
These are heading down into the South Spanish Creek.
Mia’s new rides – Faction Agent 100 169cm. They weight 4lbs 10 oz with bindings! Also some new Scarpa Gea RS boots.
A fun day out with Mia and River in Beehive Meadows
Beehive Meadows.
Driving up we ran into a herd of deer. They followed the road all the way to Beehive Basin. One took a header into the pavement! The next day we saw a moose. It’s animal season out there.
