Summer skiing is the newschoolers Nirvana, the dream harbored by so many through the long sweaty months.
That phrase brings connotations of expensive camps at Mt.
Hood or Whistler, complete with the prices and culture that this paradox deserves.
Deep in the backcountry on the border of Wyoming and Montana lives a different expression of summer skiing.
In fact it doesn’t even have a lodge or chairlifts.
This years 4th annual session took place June 5-8 outside of Red Lodge Montana.
Take every stereotype you have of summer camp skiing and reverse it.
At Beartooth Basin there is no corporate entity to hate.
No one was skiing to impress anyone else or stroke their own ego.
Even in the competition portion of the event, the Booster Strap Big Mountain Slopestyle this vibe held true.
As the competitors threw down gnarly lines and technical tricks that fun loving attitude continued to shine through.
Instead this is an event for everyone that is the best skier on the mountain.
This is an event for people who love skiing and love having fun and want to share that love.
Dont come here looking for your lame politics and overdeveloped judging scales.
Cliffs like these in June?
