Ski BuM 101 Big Sky is a secluded ski town in a corner of reality. This column is for those who are here or in other Montana ski towns to live, party (optional), ski, snowboard or telemark every possible day, and for those who want to bike, fish, camp, hike, or climb all summer. I’d like this to be a guide for surviving issues like broken skis or broken cars, and a guide to feeding yourself properly so you don’t expire in the middle of the Big Couloir. This column is for those who desire a better life, and for those of us who don’t want to go back to where we came from. In this column, I will do my absolute best to help the Big Sky ski bum succeed in living the dream. Lesson 2: The epic Day By eRiC PauLSOn There are great days of skiing, and then there are epic days. Epic days should never be confused with epic conditions. While epic conditions happen all the time, for you to truly have an epic day you’ll want to take care of a few things first. 1. Wake uP! Getting out of bed can be a chore. Between working, riding, and partying, the average ski bum usually lacks sleep. For many, waking up early isn’t an option. For these individuals I suggest learning ‘The Fireman’. This is a pretty easy skill once mastered. First, have all your gear ready to go. Socks, clothes, goggles, skis... everything. Lay it all out so you can wake up, sit up, and start putting your gear on. The goal is to be out the door in three minutes. Once you’ve mastered the fireman, you can sleep longer and still make it to the mountain on time. 2. Make SuRe yOuR STiCkS aRe TuneD. You can go all season long without tuning your skis or board, but that doesn’t mean you should. Sure, you probably won’t notice your tune (or lack thereof) cruising down the Dictators in chest deep powder. But slow sticks equal longer cat tracks, wasted energy and a slower, less epic you. 3. giVe yOuRSeLF THe eneRgy TO Ski aLL Day LOng. Your day won’t be epic if you’re bonking at noon. Everyone is different, but the most common sources for energy come from things like food, water and caffeine. My personal routine is feasting the night before, drinking a pot of coffee the morning of and snacking between runs. I fill my backpack with things like water, hard-boiled eggs, dried fruit and trail mix. All of these are affordable and filling. 4. PLan yOuR aTTaCk. This skill is mastered with time and consequently, it makes each epic day better than the last. Things like snow, wind, chairlift openings/closures and crowds need consideration. I’ve had epic days skiing all over Big Sky and Moonlight Basin, but the most important thing for me is finding the chunk of the mountain with the deepest snow and the smallest crowds. 5. FaCe SHOTS. Ahhhh, the most important part of the equation. While the act of choking is not something I usually enjoy, I make an exception when it gets deep out there. When it gets really deep, you have to time each turn to inhale between face shots. Some days it is so deep you wished man was born with the ability to breathe snow. Those are the days you remember for the rest of your life: when you’re firing on all cylinders, floating through ridiculously deep powder, and you feel like the mountain has disappeared and left you hanging in the clouds. This is it... this is EPIC. Eric Paulson, owner of LonePeak Auto Detailing, moved to Big Sky in 1999. He grew up skiing Spirit Mountain in Duluth, Minnesota. Besides enjoying the outdoors, Eric spends the rest of the year focused on work, fishing, hunting and fixing up old cars.
