Splish splash, I have soggy yotes too.

More Yellowstone Yotes

More stuff from Yellowstone today.

Yotes in Yellowstone

LVFC is gonna be the last con I hit State side before I head to NZ. Curious as to who all is going. You should poke me if you're planning on going.

Almost gave myself hypothermia by accident today responding to an injury on the mountain. That was cool.

Huzzah! New board acquired.

I measured, and my moustache now has a wingspan of 8.5 inches across.

Wooo!

Was working on popping onto this tube feature the last couple days, this is the cleanest I've had.

Same formatting as Pepper. Mostly done through road-tripping on my end though.

I was gonna go up to the mountain and practice rails today, but my body hurts too much from practicing rails yesterday.

I need to motivate myself to make business cards

I bought my ticket to NZ for June. 1400 dollars gone in an instant. It hurts a little bit, but I'm excited to get there.

Snow time!

It do be Christmas. Merry Christmas.

To foxtrot or not to foxtrot? That is the question.

This feels a little cursed.

Went to copper and decided to be dumb and playful on my first run of the year. Immediately slammed my knees into some ice and made them sore lol

My body is ready.

It got cold outside

Tall rocks and stuff

Meese

I'm getting back pay!

We're finally getting snow that's holding on the mountains and I'm ready for my ski/snowboard season to start. Just a month left.

A dog shaped thing. (Coyote)

BLFC was pretty awesome. New friends and memories made. Went by way to fast as is the usual for cons.

I should probably stop playing video games until 2am. It's bad for my sleep schedule. I'm so tired.

I may be furloughed, but it's giving me back my fortnite skills I guess.

Job offer signed, I'll officially be snowboard instructing again this winter.

This is incredibly sad. She came to speak at the University of Montana a couple years ago and I was lucky enough to sit down and talk to her one on one afterwards. As someone going through the Wildlife Biology program, she was an inspiration and an example to follow. She will be missed.

Welp, I'm furloughed. This sucks.

Feesh time

Interview at a ski area on Tuesday! It's basically a sure thing since on the phone interview they want me for my certifications. Winter is coming and I'm ready to roll around in the snow like an idiot.

Doing pest detection and I found some Pine Sawflies. These are more than likely the native species we find here in Montana, but this sample will be sent in for DNA testing to know for sure. It's hard to tell whether this is our Pine Sawfly or a European Pine Sawfly for sure without DNA analysis.

The past 2 weeks have been hitting me kinda hard. I grew up in a conservative town in a religious conservative household. I've watched old "friends" paint Charlie Kirk as a saint after his killing. To condone violence is one thing. To elevate him as a human is something else entirely.

The clouds were kinda cool today.

We're posting mountain animals as a trend apparently. I like this.

got @arlo-doggo.bsky.social looking forward to hitting some nicely groomed jumps!

More bees

Little sleepy bee in a flower.

I have created banana bread.

PCD be hitting unreasonably hard rn. It's very unlike me.

Ignore the crappy pin job, but I found grasshopper mites today during sample ID; Eutrobidium spp. I believe! Look at their stubby little legs. These are the larvae. The adult mites feed on grasshopper eggs in the soil.

Big thanks to this wonderful yeen, @hushhyena.bsky.social. He put up with my terrible photography skills and was wonderful company for a while today! Another reason Megaplex was great this year.

Saw a Swift Fox today! Glacier county, MT.

The sunrise was a really pretty color this morning, I wish I was in a more scenic spot for a picture other than a hotel parking lot lol
