2/3. Frigid morning. Snow conditions were pretty good all things considered. Just keep moving to stay warm Hike up to ride Shot 9. Nice wind buffed pow at top. Too bad you can’t hike up from Casper lift. I wish I had a little video but got to see the Jackson Juggler in action for first time.

I guess I should login a but more often to see if anyone else might be here. I arrived last night and we went searching for good snow. Not much pictures today. Central Chute wasn’t good but I don’t think it was bad. the snow on this section (trail name evades me) under tram I thought was pretty good thanks to wind buffing. Interesting to see what the rest of the week has to offer.

Stu, Revello’s is where I usually stop on way back home. I don’t know what time they open though.

Absolutely. Beacons shovels and probes. Even inbounds this mountain demands your respect. At the end of Thursday we fished a skier out of a creek where Lower Sublette meets the cat track to Union lift. It looked like the hazard was marked off,but he totally yard saled it. 😢 when we came upon him i thought the worst cause it looked ugly. I am not medical person but I asked him what day of week, where are you, etc ... He insisted no Patrol but we accompanied him back to base. Not a mountain to go solo

Another trip in the books to my fav mountain. Was on mountain Mon-Fri and I thought the lift lines moved pretty good considering the covid protocols etc... If I had any disappointments it would be Casper Bowl was closed all week. Did one hike up Headwall on Monday. Friday might have been the best snow day I ever had. It was just dumping all day. Free refills! A couple laps out the gates on Why Not and Rock Springs lines. Many thanks to my buddy DJ for guiding us. Even the ladies went for the small huck off Mikie Likes It. Not much for photos or videos sorry but we just went after it all week.

Some Feb 1 action in the place called Jackson... Big inversion day. First one I experienced it here. Headwall was mostly nice and soft but a bit chunky in sun exposure. The play of the day was north facing trees like North Woods shown here

Back in Jackson 2020 Part Deux ... So not a lot to write about past few days. I was hearing people were death sliding down Rendevous Bowl Sunday cause it was just rock solid. The snow Tuesday was much needed but it was a heavier wet snow. As afternoon went on the hard pack stuff resurfaced. A few tram rides Tues and Wed morning but mostly exploring thunder and sublette looking for stashes Thursday morning was hardpack but not unexpected with the 40s most week and teens at night. So working around other side in Casper and Apre Vous lifts. They softened nice with afternoon corn but a few spots exposed to wind were stayed bulletproof all day Took Friday off cause I think it would have been a repeat of Thurs I think. Considered a day at Targhee but just didn’t happen. So ended up with a little trip off the beaten path. Drove up to Teton Pass To check it out .....wow lots of line options up there. Crossed over to Idaho to the town of Victor. Different works over there from Jackson. Early dinner a at place called West Side Yard ... looks like it’s themed on scrap metal. That chair was the most solid and heavy chair ever seen or sat in. Good lager from Teton Brewing. Give it try sometime Curious to see what the lines are like this weekend with the storm forecast and the Corona precautions they just implemented. 🙁

I left Jackson Saturday. I took Delta JAC -> ATL -> PHL Anyways flight was delayed a bit because with all the people and luggage they announced aircraft would exceed takeoff weight requirements and they were looking for a few volunteers. I was already seated and ready to go once I heard about it but yea I would have listened to offers.

In the morning a little out of bounds action going through the gates and riding WhyNot? first backcountry experience and wow just wow ...

SpringHill which is under Marriott brand. Use Marriott for work so was able to redeem points to get discounted nights there. its a block away from Antler and 49er Bus going to ski area at 8 and 9am then returning 345 and 5pm each day I really likedmeatball parm slices and PinkyQs. walking around was a bit of an adventure cause they don’t salt and the sidewalks were sheets of ice lol
