I have neither tent but do have a couple thoughts. Important to note that the Scarp isn't free standing unless you buy and use the optional cross poles, which add another 10 or 18 oz depending on which pole material you choose. Since you need a free standing tent, that means the Scarp would...

Yuccas are no joke! Amazing how rigid those suckers are and how easily they can stab you just walking by.

Incredible looking outing! Those cold temperatures would have been difficult though, sweating and then having it freeze probably almost instantly once you head downhill. Terrain looks absolutely amazing though. What a blast. Hey, speak for yourself! Haha.

Had me laughing out loud with your descriptions of those habits. Have done all of those before also. I definitely have a lot of room for improvement but hope to have some grace by the end of this season. Ha. It's not cheap, but the Meidjo 3.0 is a tele binding that has the option for a lockable...

I only took one alpine lesson and skied just two days on alpine bindings before I switched fully to tele last year. Was interested in it because, like you, I started on fish scale bc xc skis (which I don't spend enough time on nowadays). I've kind of learned both tele and alpine at the same...

Very awesome! I've xc skied up that trail before but turned around after a few miles. Cool to see farther up, and I'll have to give that a go sometime! Refrigerated Cold Smokes at camp is luxury living! Also cool to see you went to Quake Lake. One of my favorite roadside spots. If you ever go...

Love seeing those backcountry tele turns! I just started tele skiing last season. Just wish we could get snow like that here this season. Next storm should help, but we won't get multiple feet like you guys.

Definitely a question for @Nick

Oh I just meant that search and rescue organizations (like Gallatin County SAR) are getting more and more calls as it is, so I was joking that people intentionally going out and getting lost in the woods would further increase search and rescue organizations' workload. Haha.

SAR may beg to differ! Haha. We've had people get lost and call SAR on the M Trail here in Bozeman, where you can see town from just about every point on the trail and you have cell service and can easily use standard GPS apps. Stuff like that has made it so I never underestimate how...

Hold on, isn't this just a rephrasing of the "not all who wander are lost" saying that you detest and have in your signature? ;)

It's always a little surprising how much it costs, but it is a great place! $145 for the day I went. Fortunately, with my Bridger Bowl season pass, I get two free days at Targhee. I'll be back in early February!

You know it's a crappy start to winter when I'm sitting here excited at the prospect of 3 inches of snow in the mountains (maybe an inch in the valley), at best, on Saturday. Haven't had any precipitation in two weeks and it's been in the mid 40s most days, which is well above normal. I wore...

I've experienced these issues with photos taken on phones I had in the past. I think it's just something about certain phones' camera software that doesn't jive with the site software, so they come in with a different orientation. Any edit to the photo done on the computer seems to get rid of...

Awesome work! Too many times have I run and walked trails that are rutted deeply by bikes (motor and human powered) to the point that you can't find a flat place to put your foot. That's a good solution with the large rocks.

That's hard core. Maybe next time I'll just dump the instant coffee packet directly into my mouth.

I failed my only stated goal: to do a trip in the Bob, despite even being invited on one. Got multiple other good ones in though. Can't complain! I need to just make my goal for next year be what I actually have planned so far. Haha. Those ones usually happen.

Thank you! I wonder if with the Pitchstone Plateau, it's just long enough distances to get anywhere on a dayhike that most people don't bother. Phantom Fumarole isn't ridiculously far, but I imagine your average day hiker isn't going to want to put in the 9-10 miles mostly through patchy forest...

So is the day-use permit the same as the entry fee or are they separate?

Incredible shots! Wonderful looking day out there. And that food looks just as good as the scenery!
