CLOCKWISE FROM TOP Beartooth Basin’s special use permit with the Shoshone National Forest says that cars can’t block the highway or park on the surrounding tundra. This means Beartooth part owner Kurt Hallock spends his mornings jamming as many cars into the tiny parking lot as possible. The view while riding Poma 2. It gets pretty steep toward the top of the lift and then it’s a skate-traverse to the bottom of Poma 1, which takes skiers to the top of the basin.

I wasn’t close enough to tell if this was a to-bacco cigarette or something else.
