One of my first days in Sqauw 2 years ago, a buddy of mine got stuck in a tree well that was easily 6 ft deep. It took him about half hour to build himself some steps sturdy enough to climb out. Completely nuts. That was also one of my first days out west ever, and that was not something I even thought would be remotely possible to happen. Glad you made it out ok. And that pic from the lift is awesome.

I've had mine since the beginning of last year and no problems as of yet.

I'll be there with a buddy and maybe my dad. I'll be in red pants, black/green stripe jacket, k2 board. If my dad makes the trip you'll definitely be able to find me, he still rocks his oldschool bright ass pink jacket. We're usually on the 1030 arrival plan.

Excellent day at JF. Great coverage everywhere. Trees are still where its at. Some gnarly moguls forming in the challenge glades. My brother hit his first jump! He took a couple runs at the first jump in one park. Hit the deck a couple time, but figured it out in the end. He was all smiles after that. Lots of people at BB. New pair of his/hers jumps on love, good work. R2, where you at? Were you there today? We took a couple runs down lehigh looking out for the red pasr coat, but no luck.

Rode boulder from 4:45-8:30. Coverage is great, and the snow was awesome. Firm, but still a nice powdery coat everywhere to carve into. Freedom is in good shape and has some pretty good flow to it. Two complaints would be the jump and the butter box. The jump is a little sketchy, as in poppy with a skinny steep landing that is pretty easy to overshoot. And then the butter box is just chillin before the lift. Think it could be better utilized. Love has some legit down rails and fun jumps. Would be nice if there were another set of jumps in there though. The ramp/wallride at the bottom is fun too. Boulder was ungroomed and had some nice whales forming on it, so nothing was hittable. Guess they're gearing up for a rebuild. Was very surprised by the excellent snow conditions. I'll be trying to get another day in this week for sure.

Never rode them, but what was wrong with the 09's?

Good work getting out. Yesterday was pretty chilly, so I bitched out today.

To combat the mess, I've been scraping with my board in my board bag. I just scrape all the excess to the bottom and when done take the bag for a walk outside. Works pretty good.

Thanks for the info guys. I've been reading your stories of JH for a couple years now and have been dying to go, looks like its actually going to happen this year. Should be booking some flights in the next couple of days.

Most interesting. I might have to scheme up some travel plans.

So looking at the map, its saying the town of Jackson and the 49er are about 30 mins from the mt, so I'm wondering, whats the reason for not staying in Teton Village? Is it costly, or nothing to do at night, or a combo of the two?

I've never stayed in a Hostel. Wasn't really looking too, but a friend sent me the link because he thought it might be interesting. I'm looking at 4 people going right now, so I guess thats why he thought the hostel might be cheap. The 49er sounds good though, I'll give it a look. Thanks guys. Looks like I'll be heading out there the week of 2/22, stoked! How about getting from the airport to the town? You guys rent a car, or just take some kind of shuttle?

Anyone ever stay in the Hostel? My buddy just sent me the link and it looks mighty affordable...and says it has a pingpong/pool/shuffleboard tables. Where you guys staying?

green/black stripe coat, red pants. Hopefully looking at a 10:30-4 session.

I was there from around 1030-300. The conditions started out pretty bad, but got real nice right after lunch. I was mostly just lapping the park after lunch, the jumps were a lot of fun today. I'll be at Frost tomorrow as well. Headed up with a buddy who is still figuring things out, so I might be spending a little more time on the blues.

I was there with my little brother. Challenge was definitely the place to be. The glades are so much fun, excellent work there. We also took that unfortunate voyage down under the lift on the east side. Our boards were not pleased. I thought I saw you on the east side from the lift eyeing up the elevator, but was only guessing from seeing your avatar. Guess it was you after all.

Conditions were great today. I took a video of a challenge glade run that didn't come out too bad. I'll post it up once I get it online.

Dick. I looked through all my posts, and every thread with 'Salt Lake City' in it. Not finding it. There was some other similar threads in there though, so I'll sort through them.

Flights booked. I'm going to end up with 6 days in UT, and 3 in CO. Now I just gotta find some lodging for UT. I tried planning a trip like this a year or so ago, and got some good recommendations on where to go/stay. I can't find the thread though. Is there a way to access older threads? Or are they gone?

I was up there on Monday 12/14. Pretty much the same conditions. Maybe 8 other people on the hill the whole day. But one of those people lost a dollar, and my gf scooped it up... And there was an intense game of Beer Pong going on in the lift line...

It certainly is. And, BB put two of those pictures on their website. So shouldn't they hook me up with a sandwich or something?

When I was in school I interned @ Hershey park, which was 60+ miles from my school. Luckily gas wasn't quite so jacked up back then, or I wouldn't have made crap. Sorry for derailing this thread.

haha, not saying I would be number 1, but I could definitely hang

20 trips to JFBB (206 round trip) 2 trips to Mt. Snow 1 Okemo 1 Stowe 1 Jay Drove all over the place in Tahoe And a fair amount in CO I need to get a gas rewards credit card.

Dont make me bust out my calculator and last years stats for a miles driven pissing contest
