Corduroy Challenge

Tuesday, March 6th, 2012

Now I know there are some people out there that know this mountain like the back of their hand.  So I have come up with a little test to see how well you know our groomed runs.  There is a set of five pictures of different corduroy from different spots on the mountain.  Lets see if you can identify each run in the photo.  Look at the lay of the land, the slope of the terrain and even the trees in the background for a hint.  Those that can identify where these photos were taken can truly proclaim themselves the Corduroy Kings/Queens of Brundage Mountain.

Hand-Me-Downs, Leftovers and Second-Hand Powder

Saturday, March 3rd, 2012

When you read the words ‘hand-me-down’ and ‘leftover’, what images come to mind?

Our culture feeds on the idea that new is better. You can buy ‘new car scent’ to make your car smell less worn. Some people will buy a new car even when the one they have runs perfectly well, just because it’s starting to feel ‘old’.

We want to be fresh and modern and first, and when it comes to our time on the ski slopes, things are no different.

I’m not saying I purposely stay away when nature decides to drop a fresh blanket of fluff on the mountain. But, I have also learned to look at that leftover powder with a little bit more affection. (more…)

Leap Year Bonus!

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012

Leap year is serving up its bonus day today.  Known as leap day, Feb. 29 is an added day that seems to magically show up on the calendar at four-year intervals.

Like that “extra” hour in the fall, when clocks are turned back at the end of daylight saving time, this extraneous day begs for some special attention. It cries out for something to make it more worthwhile than those other 365 days we get every year.

So how did you spend your leap year bonus day? We spent ours enveloped in a soft blanket of 8″ of fresh powder. (more…)

Action-Packed!

Sunday, February 26th, 2012

We had an action-packed weekend here at Brundage Mountain with races, freestyle events, and most importantly, FRESH POWDER.

The snow didn’t make much of a show in our snow box, but it made a BIG impact on the mountain.

Some aggressive winds showed up Saturday along with fresh snow. That means we were on a mission to find out where all the dry, fluffy powder was piling up.

For some, the mission was futile. (more…)

Powder + Gravity = LOVE…the video.

Friday, February 24th, 2012

24 inches of fresh snow in 6 days is enough to warm a powder hound’s mid-winter heart. Here’s a look at the conditions at Brundage on a mid-week powder day.
