The sun is shining, the slopes are smooth and buttery and we’re ready for a weekend full of fun and adventure.
We’re also excited to roll out some fresh features in our terrain park on Bear.
Our park crew has constructed two kickers and two rail-type features for your freestyle enjoyment.
The early morning snow report alerted the faithful powder hounds that something delightful may be afoot. (Or underfoot, as the case may be).
Four inches is right in that decision zone for a lot of us, especially when it’s a 24 hour snow total and not the overnight accumulation. It’s so easy for doubt to enter the decision-making process. “What if it’s not that deep?” asks a voice in your head. “What if it’s all tracked out?”.
If the blue sky and bright sunshine didn’t wash the doubt away, then we feel for you. Why? Because today was one of those days when four inches skied like eight and those who didn’t question their faith in Brundage Mountain were rewarded with RICH BLESSINGS .

As we watch more snowflakes flutter to the ground today, our powder pursuits are renewed.
No where is the powder more pristine and plentiful than in the backcountry surrounding Brundage Mountain.
This is our first week for guided tours through Brundage Mountain Snowcat Adventures. If you’re considering a trip, this short video may help you make up your mind. The video and the photo to the right are not from the archives. (They were both from this weekend.)
Here’s more info on the program and the incredibly affordable pricing.

Today I am happy to announce two new things. One of them has been anticipated by some of our guests, and the other is expected. First, our terrain park crew has been busy. They have been able to put up some intermediate features on Bear. This includes two rails and two rollers that will soon be table tops. This is the first push toward building our entire park.
Winter Carnival always brings a fun, festive attitude to our entire area.
This year, it also brought an extra dose of enthusiasm to our slopes.
The six feet of fresh snow we’ve accumulated in the last two weeks might have SOMETHING to do with that. (more…)
Today is one of those days that makes it impossible NOT to count your blessings. The sun is shining, the trees are flocked in a soft blanket of pure white and the snow is like COLD SMOKE.
We’ve had 6 inches of fresh snow in the last 36 hours and more than two feet of new snow this week. (That’s on top of 50″ last week…)
While I always feel fortunate to work and play at Brundage Mountain, I met some out-of-town visitors this week who helped remind me of just how lucky we are. (more…)

Winter has made an incredible comeback in the past two weeks. Here at Brundage Mountain, we’re riding a long winning streak of powder days (check out our photo gallery), and that translates into an exciting backcountry bounty, as well.
With 5-6 feet of new snow on the peaks beyond Brundage Mountain, our 19,000 acre backcountry Snow Cat program is ready to roll. Our first trip of the season heads out tomorrow. (more…)
Wow. Today was one of those days that is so good, it’s hard to find the words. We had 7″ of fresh, fluffy, heavenly, dreamy hero snow.
No matter what line you picked, it seemed you were destined to float effortlessly downhill on a pillow of freedom.
It’s one of those mid-week powder days that left plenty of good turns for everyone even into the afternoon hours.
It also inspired our Top 5 list for today. (more…)
It’s the seventh day of a week that saw us measuring our snowfall with a yard stick rather than a ruler.
So the idea of a mere 3 inches of fresh snow didn’t really seem that exciting.
But snow totals don’t tell the whole story on a day like today.
We started out with two inches of fresh, fluffy snow this morning. Again, not an impressive total nowadays. (more…)
