7” new and dumping…supposed to snow 19”-27” in the next 24 hours on the mountain

Jackson Hole Day 4 of 7 2/1/2025 Hey All, I’m back from another fun day at Jackson hole mountain resort. The day dawned mild and snowy with a temperature of around 30 degrees in town with a couple inches of new snow and 9” new reported on the mountain. In the house were Atomic Jeff, JFDan, Nazareth Jay and Dirtwolf. We arrived at the mountain around 8am and were in line for the gondola around 810am to the sounds of avalanche bombs above. Miraculously the mountain opened on time and a few minutes later we were whisked up the mountain in the Bridger gondola. Down Amphitheater to Thunder was some thick new snow and was pretty tracked already by all the wallets and people ahead. Up Thunder and center of grand had a lot of untracked still kind of sierra cement. Up Sublette and into the cirque for the first time this trip..lots of new snow and untracked down into Amphitheater which was beat. By now Thunder had an overflowing corral but we waited once for about ten minutes to ride Thunder back up, then traverses below the expert chutes for some untracked and here it seemed lighter. Back down and we took the Marmot chair since it had no line. We ended up doing four laps off the Marmot chair skiing a couple short sections of slightly tracked glades..here the snow was more medium density. After the fourth woods lap we skied down to Casper chair and I was beat so skied to the base via blacktail and Sundance and like 20 minutes later the boys were done. We ended up at the Mangy moose again it was super packed in there but we got a table. Fun skiing a lot of untracked today and I think tomorrow will be even better and they needed the higher density snow to cover up the hardpack. jADIP

Matt Edge doesn’t do lines anymore. He doesn’t do them any less either

Untracked pow on every run…some tracks crossed, some nasties below..lots of Herbs…gonna be some good action shots later.

We got in gondola singles line around 810am about 20-30 people back. Bombs going off hopefully not too delayed of an opening.

9” new as of 6am…

Nice looking forward to the report!!!

From the JH Avalanche forecast. The approaching multi-day atmospheric river will bring widespread snow with periods of heavy snowfall of over 1 inch an hour. By Saturday evening (5pm) forecasted snow totals are showing over 12 inches of snow across all forecast zones. Areas favored by the storm in the Tetons and Snake River Range could receive closer to 18 inches of snow. Strong wind is forecasted to peak in intensity Saturday. Another strong pulse is followed on Sunday with continued snowfall into early next week. Powder season is back as we roll into February.

Huh?? What does this have to do with Arizona snowbowl

I wouldn’t feel bad for these people it’s badass they get to ski in Arizona. Weather patterns are weird. Tahoe had like 3-4 dry seasons in a row and it was 49 at the top of Jackson hole two days ago. The fact that people in Phoenix have better local skiing than Philly peeps is remarkable.

Fake news and I’m anxiously awaiting Saltys response

January 31, 2015 Day 3 of 7 Hey All, I’m back from another fun day at Jackson Hole mountain resort. In the house were me, Atomic Jeff and JfDan. We saw a couple moose right by the ticket office and were in line for the gondola around 830am. The temperature was about zero under mostly cloudy sky’s. First run on amphitheater had flat light and kind of stiff snow. Up Thunder and Grand was similar. Up Sublette and Bivoac still had some chalk. Next run was an empty rendezvous trail and pretty decent grooming. Over to Thunder and down the top of amphitheater over to Casper lift. Up Casper and down wide open to Teton lift then down wide open again back to the Casper chair. I skied the stash park area to right under the lift then up Teton again to Crags run which was pretty decent up Teton again to the base of apres vous. Up apres vous to Saratoga bowl which had the best snow on the mountain, it’s below and north facing where we skied so snow was chalky to styrofoam. Did a repeat of Saratoga bowl. Me and Jeff quit then and went to the mangy moose and JfDan got a few more runs in and met us at the mangy. Now back in town waiting for my weed pills to creep in. Nazareth Jay arrived about 2 hours ago and Dirtwolf is expected to arrive around 9pm. Everybody keep your fingers crossed that his plane gets in ok as it’s supposed to start snowing and blowing in a few hours. JADIP

A little wildlife this morning.

Thats crazy about needing an oven

@saltyant JFDan is gonna have three powder days..maybe four…#ThisIsGettingGood

JFDan made it to town earlier this afternoon. We hung out and drank a couple beers in his fireplace suite then went to Bubbas bbq for supper. I had a vegetarian lunch, not on purpose just what I wanted and made up for it with a two meat combo brisket and smoked sausage…with fries and baked beans and an Arnold Palmer..and Texas toast. Tomorrow clouds will be moving in, if we get a few sunny runs in early that will be a bonus cause we aren’t gonna see much sunshine the next five days…

I heard the Burton headquarters is cool and they even have a bar. I rode the lift with Jake Burton at Stowe when I was in college. I knew who he was instantly cause I read pretty much every ski publication back then. I also so him at Piecasso in Stowe years later. He’s a legend and legends rule RIP

Is it cold in Burlington? That was over half my life ago.

Nice report and the circle K might sell sunscreen. Have you had any good meals this trip? I know it’s all about the skiing but gotta be some good local Cuisine

Oh I’m more than ready. Hope I don’t choke

Yup I already have the powder panic. I expect an absolute shitshow this weekend if the forecasted weather holds. The current snowpack won’t be able to handle the incoming load so the Avalanche conditions are gonna be insane with 40”+ on tap but I have to remind myself that I’m here. A lot of people won’t be able to get in tomorrow night through Wednesday.

I mean you’re pretty Domestic.

1/30/24… Day 2 of 7 Hey all, I’m finished with another fun ski day at Jackson hole mountain resort. We arrived at the ski resort around 830am and it was -10 at the base and 28 degrees at the summit. First civilian gondola again and down amphitheater first which was decent eastern cord. Up Thunder and down Laramie which was groomed and kind of stiff. Then up Sublette and skied Bivoac which saw a rare grooming and was fairly edgeable chalky snow… We repeated Bivoac two more times then skied back to Thunder and skied Ampitheater to lower Tram line. We then took the Tram up and was basically a walk on Tram. Rendevous bowl was really bad refrozen crud and bumps…makes sense as it hit 49 degrees yesterday at the summit. Back to Bivoac a fourth time and up Sublette then down to the Hobacks. I really enjoy the spicy entrance but just like in R bowl, most of the hobbers got cooked yesterday but some decent snow along the boundary line…wow I got really sweaty on that run and then freezing cold as the valley was still about zero degrees. Then up union pass to teewinot and up apres vous and skied a random groomer and had my fill. Just like yesterday we skied about 12-13 runs for a little over 20k of vertical. Lunch was at Osteria I had some sort of Italian soup and margarita pizza. JFDan is now in town and tomorrow Nazareth Jay and Dirtwolf arrive. JADIP

It’s like giving Top to a Camel…like head or a blowjob.

Well I’m on vacation gosh…I eat plenty of microwave spaghetti and meat sauce and cans of tuna back in the A..and not cause I’m broke cause I like it and doctor em up all kinds of ways… the last four ski days of my trip will prob be pow days..watch out where the husky’s go and don’t you eat that yellow snow.
