Baller sunvalleylaw Posted August 9, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 9, 2018 Hey all! Looking forward to taking my 18 year old kid to see his first Pearl Jam show this coming Monday. We will be heading up a bit early. Any place to get a ski? He had his first course experience a week ago and now wants to chase more balls. Anyhow, PJ should be fun! We got tix up in the front pit so should be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Andre Posted August 9, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 9, 2018 All i remember is a private site picture in WSM a long time ago. The place was called " the kick axe lake " and was own by a Mr Axe... Had a beautiful view of the mountain. My ski finish in 16.95 but my ass is out of tolerance!

Baller Rpc29 Posted August 9, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 9, 2018 I'm pretty sure that Kalispell at Rosewater and Helena at No Wake would be your closest options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller sunvalleylaw Posted August 9, 2018 Author Baller Share Posted August 9, 2018 Ok, will likely bring a mountain bike instead, and hope it is not too smoky. Concert should be fun though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jedgell Posted August 9, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 9, 2018 @sunvalleylaw, I'm from Missoula and skied for many years at Dragonfly. Sadly the owner of that lake passed and it's only being used by family now. Like mentioned above Helena or Kalispell are the only other options within 2 hrs of Msla. Enjoy the concert, I saw them there in '98 and was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller sunvalleylaw Posted August 9, 2018 Author Baller Share Posted August 9, 2018 Thanks for that update @jedgell . Sorry to hear of the passing, and the lake fading back away from more use. I saw PJ there in 2012 in the UofM fieldhouse, and it was great then too. I really like Missoula. Looking forward to visiting it again. About a 4.5 or 5 hour drive for me.

Baller cragginshred Posted August 9, 2018 Baller Share Posted August 9, 2018 Pearl Jam? Oh that they could put out anything remotely as good as their 1st album. My band plays Evenflow and most people get it, but many older pub folks don't. Fun for the band tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller sunvalleylaw Posted August 9, 2018 Author Baller Share Posted August 9, 2018 @cragginshred , fun you play at least one song! Yeah, these "the guys are older" days are not the same as the glory days, but I have to respect them for still putting stuff out, some of which I really like, and sticking together, and for gawd's sake, not dying! A lot of musicians, particularly front men, from that scene and era did not make it. I play some of their stuff too, among other bands's music as well. @schroed and I tried some fireside stuff last year too. He is more talented than I. I am jealous you have a steady band. I have not found time to make such efforts successful. Maybe in a couple/few years when the last of the kids closes in on leaving the house. But, also gotta find more course time in there too! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
