Summer Snowboarding at Beartooth Basin – Now Open To The Public

796E04C68E3F9C2102F2813E55606581-450-1TruemiddlecenterpadFor the longest time I feel like I have been in the dark, believing that Mt. Hood or Whistler was the only place you go to get your summer shred on. Well all of that has changed because this Sunday, May 26th Beartooth Basin will be Open. Formerly a private ski and snowboard camp, Beartooth Basin is now open to the public. That’s right! Now you don’t have to drive all way to the west coast to go snowboarding or skiing  in the summer.

Beartooth Basin is located in the Rocky Mountains about 20 miles south of Red Lodge, MT on Highway 212, near the famous Beartooth Pass.  Tickets are $45  for a Full Day, $35 for a Half Day and $20 for a Power Hour

direction to Beartooth Basin

 

“New for 2013, due to federal budget cuts, the Wyoming side of the highway 212 will not be open until June 15. So you must access the Beartooth Basin Ski Area from the Montana side of the highway.”

Whats SUP Yoga

SUP Yoga

If you have ever tried Paddle Boarding you know it is a great workout, but a new trend in Stand Up Paddle Boarding is taking your workout to a new level.  SUP Yoga is basically as it sounds,  a yoga  routine performed on a paddle board.  The SUP is your mat and the open water is your studio.

Like Stand Up Paddle Boarding, SUP Yoga has been gaining in popularly over the last few years. I recently had my first encounter with SUP Yoga,  and let me tell you it is real a game changer. At first performing even the most basic of posture on a SUP can be challenge. The instability of the board adds a new level into your yoga practice, It will tone your core, increase your stability and provide you with a fun learning environment out side of the studio. I would highly recommend taking your practice to the open water to see if SUP Yoga is for you.

SUP YOGA TIPS:

  • Besides your swimming suit it is a good idea to ware a  rashguard, hat and/or sunglasses (with a strap) to protect your self from harmful UV rays.
  • Get Hydrated- Before departing sure make sure drink plenty water. Carrying anything on a board can be difficult.
  • Bigger is better- Longer and wider Stand Up Paddle Boards are more stable, which is perfect for SUP Yoga.
  • Prepare to get wet and have fun!
