AHoles in JHole 2024….

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Hey All,

 

I’m here in Jackson hole with Atomic Jeff and Mute, NMSki and Dirtwolf arrive on Thursday. Flight from Newark was at 10:09am EST and me and atomic Jeff arrived at the Jh airport at 12:46pm MST.  Went to the 49er, rooms weren’t ready yet.  Back to the airport and picked up Mute from his Chicago flight.  Back to the 49er, Mutes room was ready and me and AJeffs not ready.  
 

We then went to the brewery for a late lunch and finally checked in. Gonna relax a little and then maybe have some supper.  It’s super warm in town, upper 30s and not much snow.  Looks like the mountain should ski well due to the 5-6 feet they’ve received the past two weeks.  Also some snow shower activity.  
 

Not many pictures so far, the cloud ceiling was low so I didn’t take any pics from the sky.

Boner city, get some ! 

[indiggio]

Giddy up!

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Waiting to see how much new snow is reported on the hill. We’re hoping maybe 4”

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

4” new upper mountain, 2” new mid mountain. 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

We are in a bit of a pickle as there’s a car wreck two miles up the road.  

[zzslope]

Have a good trip.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Moving again head on crash between pickup and SUV near the Aspens.  Maybe the first time I won’t be waiting around for lifts to open. 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Made it to gondola at 910. It’s a ghost town here.  

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Couple pictures. I’ve skied 6-7 runs so far. AJeff and Mute are testing out the hobbers and I’m meeting them at the base in a few.  
 

foots not bad but only did one mogul run but a lot of 3D snow.

1/24/24…

 

Day 1 of 7. 
 

Hey All,  

 

I’m back from another fun day at Jackson Hole mountain resort.  This morning dawned warm and a little foggy with temperatures in the 30s in the valley and 20s on the mountain.  As mentioned earlier there was a car wreck which delayed our arrival by about 30+ minutes but still we’re about to get on the gondola around 910am.  
 

First run was amphitheater almost zero visibility..snow was good..not 4” new but about 2”.  Up the Thunder lift and down Grand which was 3D snow and hard to see again.  Up the Sublette chair and did Rendevous trail first which was nice and empty, some visibility on the lower half.  The new South Pass traverse from Sublette to Thunder chair is way better and more direct.   Back to Thunder and skied Laramie bowl..which bad vis, it was almost like a funnel from the top so east to stay in a tight line without venturing to far off and bottom half good visibility so you could let the skis run.  
 

Then back up Sublette to Bivoac which were big bumps and my first Moe Ghouls of the season. Then back to Thunder again and another Laramie bowl to Sublette.  At the top of Sublette Atomic Jeff and Mute wanted to ski the Hobacks and I didn’t want to so I went back to Laramie bowl again then traversed to Casper area, then took Blacktail to Sundance gully to the base.  I was a little early to meet the boys so just took the teewinot lift up once to kill a few minutes.  
 

Back at the base and Mute and Atomic Jeff were there and we took teewinot to Apres Vous the skied Werner or Hanna to Teton lift then up Teton lift and down wide open to stash park back to apres vous chair and up apres vous again.  By this point I had my Phil like Mickelson and skied down to the base..snow was getting a little spring like a choppy.  Mute skied a little bit more.  
 

We then had lunch at the Mangy Moose…tonight’s supper is at Gather…I also just did a little work getting 1099s ready to send out. Fun fun fun. 

[DiMe]

Have fun boys!!!  May the snow gods bless you.

Food pictures from last night at Gather and more visibility today.

January 25…Day 2 of 7

 

Hey All,

 

I’m back from another fun day at Jackson hole mountain resort.  We departed the 49er at 805am and arrived in the village lot at 825ish. Booted up, hit the head and walked up to the gondola.  First civilian gondola and down Aphitheater which was flat light but at least not foggy like yesterday.  Up Thunder and down Grand which was groomed and very nice.  Up Sublette and down Bivoac, yesterday Bivvy was a mogul field and today it was groomed and really nice chalky powdery surface.  Skied that to Rendevous trail back up Sublette and did ten sleep bowl to the cirque.  
 

Most of the cirque was bumps and a section had been groomed maybe two days ago, first few turns a little slick and better lower down then into some 3D snow in the gully below and back into amphitheater to Thunder.  Up Thunder to another grand run to Sublette and another cirque back down to Thunder then another grand to Thunder and then Bivoac to Rendevous train to Rawlins bowl to lower Sublette ridge.  
 

Rawlins bowl was pretty nice some semi 3D snow then lower down was where it was above freezing yesterday and refrozen so challenging.  I got real sweaty but survived.  Up union pass lift over to teewinot, then up teewinot to apres vous down one of the herb routes on AV to teton lift then up teton lift to wide open, past the Casper chair over to the bottom of lower tram line.  
 

Mute said we skied just under 20k vert and 13 runs…We had lunch at Osteria, then picked up NMSki at JH airport.  Dirtwolf arrives in a half hour or so.

The cloudy weather gets me down a little bit, as I love to rip in the sun, but having a JH virgin in @Dirtwolf gets me excited to show him around tomorrow.

January 26, 2024…..day 3 of 7.  
 

Hey All,

 

I’m back from another fun day at Jackson hole mountain resort.  Today began with a few flakes falling and an angry inch of new snow on the mountain. Temperatures in the 20s with light winds and partly sunny skies with areas of fog.  In the house were Atomic Jeff, NMSki, Dirtwolf and Mute.  
 

First civilian gondola again and finally got that dream Amphitheater, full visibility, completely empty, and wall to wall cord carpet with an inch of titty sparkles on top. Up Thunder and Laramie was similar and I flew down that.  Then Bivoac which wasn’t groomed but still very soft and grippy back to Sublette and skied ten sleep bowl to the cirque which was pretty good and still plenty of freshies. Now amphitheater was fully in the fog..back up thunder and skied grand which wasn’t as good as yesterday but OK…

 

Then a Bivoac woods run…mostly moguls…up Sublette again and Sublette had a pretty long high as people were staying high to avoid the fog, usually when I try and stay high in in a fog.  The boys then did the Hobacks and I wanted to preserve myself so did Bivoac again to Rendevous trail to south pass traverse to Gros verte to the base.  I was way to early at the base and just did a quick teewinot lap just to kill some time.  
 

Met up with Ajeff, Mute and NMSki a few minutes later and I guess Dirtwolf got sick in the Hobacks, I didn’t remember if he just spewed or blew chunks, he definitely hurled.  Then up teewinot to apres vous then down a pretty crappy groomer to teton lift then skied a woods/bump run through stoke ville and I was getting tired so went back to the car to join Dirtwolf and the others did two more runs then we had lunch at the Mangy Moose.
