    @CaptDave Riverton Bowl ... key today was to stick to north facing stuff.  Wind was 50mph yesterday and deposited anything fresh onto north facing slopes.  Softest stuff will be things like Hoops Gap, Expert Chutes, Bivouac, Ten Sleep, etc.  Even heard Paint Brush was skiing nice today...but we were in the pow mood so shallower angle was key 😃

    We thought yesterday was going to be a decent day, but ended up sucking with the wind and visibility.  Didn’t have high hopes for today but it was awesome.  Northern aspects had a lot more wind deposited snow than the 3” reported.  I even managed face shots below the experts chutes.  5 days of sun, one day of storm skiing, and a surprise “pow” day was a great way to end it.

    Now at the mangy getting numb.

    Today was a wild one.  Wind was pretty rowdy at the base, and we heard 50+ mph at the top of the tram.  We got to the top of the gondy and it was insane.  Shit blowing everywhere.  Our first run down Amphi was pretty nice.  Vis was meh at best, but snow was soft.  Lifty told us Tram and Sub were already on wind hold.  Top of thunder it was blowing sideways at probably 35+ mph.  We managed to get 3 runs off north facing stuff on Thunder before they shut it down a few chairs behind us.  North facing aspects were holding a creamy 2", but everything else was wind scoured.   With Tram, Sub, and Thunder down, over to Casper we went, which had a 5 minute line when we showed up, but due to winds, they were running it at 1/2 speed so the line grew quickly.  Few runs over there before heading over to Teton, which had no lines.  Even the Sweetwater gondy was down for winds.

    It’s snowing on the mountain. 

    Could be ideal timing for some fresh.  It started around the time the report is posted so website says 0” new but could be a few inches when they open.  Not a pow day but some fresh will be nice.

    I always pack some clothing, sweats, shirts, etc. in with skis.  Boot bag has unessential clothing and keep them both under the 50lb limit.  Because I carry on boots, once a counter person mentioned mine was a very light boot bag and asked if I actually had any boots in there.   What does it matter lady?  They're both under 50lbs, regardless of what's in them.

    Just keep in mind that on United at least, the ski bag and boot bag are considered to be one item and must be under 50lb limit combined.

    I’m allowed 70lb bags and I couldn’t be happier as two pairs of skis plus the weight of my ski bag is like 49.5lbs and I’ve had a few rogue scales say it’s 50.5lb which has resulted in me removing one of my towels that I use to wrap the tips, or just a “repositioning” on the scale at the request of the agent “look it’s under 50 now”.
