The whole crew slaying the bottom of bivouac Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Whoo-hoo, we've made it there! The roads were so windy that some of us got hit by motion sickness. There's zero snow in Zurich, green grass and singing birds, but in Warth at the mountain base at 1400m elevation there's half a meter cover still left from the last storm. That's all despite +5C during the day and some rain two days ago.

First in line for the gondi (sans wallets)

Today was fucking fun! Huge thanks to Jeff for showing us some of the steeps (paintbrush and tower 3 chute). I had been eyeing those up all trip so far and I love me some steeps! (Real steeps, not camelback steeps). Got that great day 4 in a row feeling when everything is clicking. Boots feel good, legs and lungs are strong, and of course I still emit ridiculous amounts of pheromones. A hot lifty told me she was single! Sorry ladies, this stud is taken. Life is good!

The mountains are magnificent. Once off the base, there's no coming back, nor there is a need to. You roam from lift to lift, over the peaks and sidewise, no roads in sight, only random restaurants scattered around the mountains.

Can’t forget to mention, we saw 2 moose in the woods at the top of the Union pass lift when we were returning from the hobacks. First live moose sighting for me so I’m pretty pumped about that! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm no longer a JH virgin and it feels really good. Like Madonna said "Touched for the very first time". Great day with great people and yes props to Jeff like NMski said for being a tour guide. Laramie bowl first thing was so good. It's steeper than razors but designated a double blue. Lol. Paintbrush and tower whatever were also great as was the cirque but the ROTD for me was the hobacks . The hobacks were definitely as advertised. Steep, long ungroomed. Leg burner for sure. Ended up taking a solo ride on the tram. Did the obligatory Corbetts photo then skied Rondezvous bowl to Cheyenne bowl to Sublette Ridge through some fields of snow and vegetation to a groomer the moose creek lift for a full 4100 vert. Pics below. First is Rondezvous. Second is Laramie bowl. Third is the hobacks with Atomic Jeff in the distance. Fourth is another sunshiney pic from the first lift ride this morning.

Its snow.... not mashed potatoes.

Nastar Glenn got that bad ass wizened yoda-like gaze going. That or he just crop dusted you all

Fixed it for you.

Skied a very good Tower 3 chute today. For all of those that think NMSKI skis out of control after seeing his Taos vids...think again. He crushed it down Tower 3 chute today.

Nobody gives a fuck either. About your vert or you leaving the site. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rear entry = dead giveaway

Got a bit of a late jump this morning, nothing new for us. Wasn't really disappointed in that tho as there was still some drizzle in the air as Pops picked me up at about 7:45 to head north to Tannersville. Forecast for that area was calling for rain to be totally out of the picture by 9 am and it was dead on. Arrived at Camelback at about 8:30 and snuck in the back way by snowtubing and grabbed a nice spot outside the CBK lodge, next to the Sunbowl slope. Headed inside in hopes of processing our triple tickets and redeeming for a lift ticket, fully expecting to be told that could only be done up at the main ticket windows. Looked around on the way in and was pleased to see many tables ready for flipping when I threw my epic tantrum. Surprisingly they were were able to accommodate without a hitch, and in about 90 seconds we were back outside and making the arduous 100ft trek to the car to boot up. I was pleased with the way the transaction went, but at the same time was hoping I would be able to parlay some outrage into some sort of plastic "credit" I could exchange later for mountain goods and services. Eh, probably would have just dropped it off the lift anyway. After booting up we headed down to the indoor water park lift and rode up to hit Nile Mile. Snow started out awesome, soft but carveable, if only I knew how to carve. As the day went on it would yield to a mix of mashed potatoes and sugar, but the mountain was sufficiently deserted that none of the trails got unwieldy with push piles before we left. After a great run down Nile Mile, we jumped back on the indoor water park lift and on the way up I suggested to my dad that with the great soft snow we ought to hit the blacks right there while it was good, before the anticipated hoardes arrived to make them unskiable for jongs like us. He agreed, and so we dismounted and headed down Pharaoh to Bactrian, cruising right onto the indoor water park lift again for a ride up to tackle Cliffhanger. Neither of us have skied Cliffhanger before, as on every trip to the Camel since I started feeling comfortable on that kind of pitch they had bumps on it. With nary a mogul to found across the resort, today was the day to hit it. Took a real fun run down that, feels like it has as much sustained pitch as just about anything I've skied to this point, and I enjoyed the hell out of it in great conditions. We discussed running it again while it was so nice, but, still operating on the assumption that crowds were coming once people looked outside and realized it wasn't raining anymore, we decided to head over to the front face and hit the trails located there. Which meant a crappy run of Little Caesar to Julius Caesar to Honeymoon in order to transition from the indoor water park lift to the outdoor water park lift. Disembarking the outdoor waterpark lift we elected to make Big Pocono our first run on the front face. In our limited Camelback experience it gets cut/bumped up pretty quickly from a lot of side slipping that happens from people who drop in expecting a Blue like Nile Mile and finding something not all that off from Marjies. It probably really ought to be a black to keep it in line with the ratings for this particular mountain; I suspect it's a Blue simply because if it weren't they would feel like they don't have enough top-to-bottom intermediate trails on the trail map. At any rate, we took a fun if uneventful run down Big Pocono after posing for some selfies for the 'book at the top. It amazes me how photos and video make slopes look so much tamer/shallower than they are in person. Back to the outdoor waterpark lift and up and over to King Tut, a true blue run that we have a lot fun skiing and today was no different. After Tut we worked out way across the front face lapping the outdoor waterpark lift and hitting all the black with no problems. Until we got to Rocket. I had the GoPro with me but haven't put a mount on my new helmet yet so hadn't really gotten any footage. I suggested to Pops that I ski down ahead and set up to film him coming at me and passing me before dropping in and following him down. Figured he could look at the footage later and check form. About 1/3 of the way down he caught an edge and went down, sliding the next third of the way on his back while doing his best impression of an 80's breakdancer, alternating head and heels pointed downhill a couple of times before sliding to a stop. The skis never came off and he was able to get back up and ski down to where I was. Footage of this exists, but I promised I wouldn't share it. 😂 We finished the run and went back up the outdoor waterpark lift to finish out the front face runs, taking an uneventful run down Marjie's Delight and back up again. Looks like Camelback isn't content to let Blue Mountain and Bear Creek take all the ski resort wedding business, as they've constructed a nice looking ceremony spot just to skier's right of Marjie's, and the peak lodge is close for renovations, presumably to fancy it up for receptions. Now that we were back on the top and had attempted all the front face runs, the only logical thing to do was attack Rocket again so Pops could extract his revenge. This time I gave him the camera to set up below to record me coming down. Alas, the Rocket won again, taking him down in almost the same spot but closer to the edge, and he slid off the side. I skied down right away as I couldn't tell if he was over the side or not when I lost sight of him over the lip. We got him back on the trail and went down. We decided to take a little break, Pops was a bit fatigued from fighting to get back on the trail and clipped back in. On the way back down Sunbowl to the CBK lot, I saw that they had opened a few of the fixed grips so I let him go head and hit the Marc Antony lift for a lap. I went out Julius to Near East and dropped down to check out Pocono Raceway/Rhododendron Glen. Half of each trail was roped off for a race or training that wasn't happening, and right as I approached they dropped two adaptive skiing sled participants into Raceway, so I headed over to Rhododendron to stay out of their way. I was glad I did because I came across a staff member setting the brush gates for the self-timed course. I decided to pull up and tell him that I thought it was really great that they bother to set something like that up and that we enjoy it. He thanked me and basically said that it was his baby and he's solely responsible for it, and he had been trying to get it working since Christmas but the wiring wasn't working. He finally found a spot where a critter had chewed the wires and spliced it and got it working just the day before. I told him that I knew that feel and tapped the Comcast logo on my jacket, and we both had a good laugh and then everyone was cheering. I skied down and joined my dad in the lot, where I swapped goggles and shed a layer. We tried to have a conversation but it was impossible with all the loud music and drinking and tailgating going on in the lot. We decided to escape the cacophony and chilled outside the CBK lounge for about 20 minutes. Went inside to whiz (downstairs bathrooms, only negative to parking there and using that lodge but I'll take it) and then went back out. We decided to run some Raceway/Rhodo laps, and the mountain coaster lift was open so that made it nice. We ran half dozen or so laps including a few down the brush gate course. I'm terrible at it, but it's fun. End up taking the turns too wide and thus slow. Damn wide-assed skis. After those laps we took a Bactrian run down to the indoor waterpark lift again, working over to the outdoor waterpark lift. We did several combos of Marc Antony and Cleopatra uppers and lowers, lapping the Marc Antony lift. Lower Cleo was in real nice shape and was fun to ski. Upper Cleo resembled a stretched mogul field, with constant and pretty consistent bumps on the relatively shallow slope, but with real stretched spacing. The first run we took down it that kind of sucked because there was a couple dozen people in it and they had wildly varying ability to deal with the chop. The second time we took it it was empty and we could blast down it with speed and had a great, fun run. Back to the outdoor waterpark lift to the top, we took another run on King Tut and then a repeat of Big Pocono. We decided we were just about done for the day, but decided to hit a few more Raceway laps since they're nice and easy and whenever we wanted I quit we were parked right there. We headed down Sunbowl and too late noticed that the mountain coaster lift had stopped spinning, so rather than turn around and skate back to the lot we headed for one last run up the indoor waterpark lift. At the top we decided that rather than take the cat-track Julius Caesar again we would head down Pharaoh and make a hard left and try to negotiate the uphill to get to Pocono Raceway. We were successful with some minor poleing and cruised back down to the lot to call it a day. On the way down the mountain we stopped in at Zack's Taco Shack which was doing a booming business. There's only a couple picnic tables and a couple counter stools inside along with a few standup spots, but some space opened up just before our food came up. I had a fish taco which was the special of the day and a pork taco as well as a chicken burrito. It was all fantastic but the fish taco was the star. All in all it was a great day of about 24 runs, 16 miles skied and about 16k vert. Next day on the snow will probably be a Thursday night session at Blue before leaving for Steamboat on Saturday. Will be at Blue Tuesday night for 80's themed trivia but probably won't ski after.

I hear you need RTMs to ski this successfully

Beautiful

I thought I saw you a couple of times from the chair, but wasn't sure. Also saw Sally from a distance/chair a few times as well. Seeing Tarpon goes without saying, but I said it anyway.

Beer in room 204.

Salty you might need some Manpons

I'm jealous the only lady who has ever had a sexual interest in me here in JH looks a little like my mom and was legal drinking age in the mid 80s

January 29th, 2018 Day 4 of 7 Hey All, I'm back from another fun day at Jackson hole mountain resort. Today we had all 7 illustrious PASRs in the hiz-Ouse. Atomic Jeff, JFDan, NMSki, MBike Mike, Nastar Glenn, GrilledCheesePanini and PARidge. We left the 49er at 740am and were in the Ranch lot at 8am. All 7 of us fit comfortably in the Kardashian Suburban and we were on the first couple of civilian gondolas. First run on Amphitheater was the ill Shiz-nit. Smooth carpet of groomed with about an inch of fresh pow pow on top. Next run some of us did Grand some Laramie bowl. I chose Laramie 🍚 and it was mad steezy yo!! After that we skied ten sleep bowl which had some fresh blown in maybe 3-5" which felt a little weird to ski on my mantras and the ungroomed part of the cirque was funky and the groomed part was fast and smooth into amphitheater back to the thunder chair. Then up thunder and I did Grand this time. All 7 of us then skied bivouac woods which was soft and chalky and fun and NMSki got like 50 pictures mainly of Atomic Jeff who is his man crush Monday. We then went back to sublette for a third time and enjoyed Pepis run and some trees. Was very nice mainly steep bumps..MBike Mike was in his element. Sublette was stopped with a half Corral of people so we went back to the thunder lift. I was sweating like I popped a molly, ate spicy food, sat in a sauna or went through a field sobriety checkpoint and eating snow wasn't cutting it so I took a rowdy upper Amphitheater to nez perce traverse to lower Casper to Casper lodge for a purple Gatorade and soft pretzel with queso on a picnic table outside and cooled off a bit then I went up Casper and back to thunder and met up with the rest of the gang. MBike, Nastar Glenn and JFDan took marmot to hydrate at the lodge at the top of the gondola and me, Atomic Jeff, NMSki and PARidge took thunder back up to a spicy 🌶 Grand up sublette and we high tailed it to the Hobacks which was mad Katy Perry..hot and cold..cool entrance with banked turns some chowder some Sastugi, some crud and some brush. Was a challenging run and I made some yellow snow. I had my Phil like mickelson at this point and Me, Atomic Jeff and NMSki went back to the car to deboot and met the others at the mangy moose..where I had two strong island iced teas and about 5 pitchers between us and all types of food. Then we took shuttle back to car and had an impromptu sing along on the way back and Atomic Jeff was kind enough to play Tom Pettys learning to fly for Nastar Glenn. Now back at the 49er and soon will be in the party room after Atomic Jeff does his run for a PowerPoint presentation recapping today...as Ice cube said,"Today was a good day"

He didn't say what the conditions were... Wonder if he'd substitute cheese for gravy?

For a non-computer guy, you gotta admit that he was pretty close

You guys are looking great.

Arrived at about 7;45 to rain and fog. I was counting on soft snow and small crowds, and was not disappointed. Until about 9:30 there were more racers on the hill than civilian customers. Visibility was an issue until about 11 am, but gradually the rain showers stopped and the fog lifted. By noon it was a bright day with soft, hero snow and NO crowds. By 1pm the lift crew had taken down the dividers in the corral. There were no lines all day. Every run was awesome soft, spring snow. There were weird patches of icy boulerplate here and there, as well as dirt. All easily avoidable and metely an aesthetic issue. I had a bowl of chili at the bar without any inappropriately-young fellows asking me to ski. Ah well, a girl can only get lucky once in a while. All told, a fantastic day at the True Mountain.

.

Can finally see the Tetons.

JFDan is gangsta AF!!

Only MBike sat on the saddle. Was a fun night out. All 7 of us went to the Brewery and then me NMSki, Nastar Glenn and MBike Mike went to the cowboy bar. I'll honestly say that there were more PYTs than normal...was like a 3.5:1 male to female ratio which would be atrocious at my local karaoke night but for Jackson Wyoming that's pretty good. Was nice to cap off a great ski day with some fine food and drink I'm looking forward to showing PARidge around Jackson hole tomorrow.

Definitely Bloody Mary over Mimosa. Had this one in Orlando a couple weeks ago at Cowfish.

Nice sunset. Rotd was the side of razors. Spent most of the evening bouncingn around on stuff i dont get to ski cause everyone else is hauling ass. Excellent linking turns in/out of the 'ridge' bumps were great too once i figured out how to ski again.

That's me if I did meth for a month.

1/28/18.. Day 3 of 7 Hey all, I'm back from a deep deep day at JHMR. We left the 49er at 7:20am and it was just before 8am before we were booted up and in the village. MBike Mike and Nastar Glenn got their lift tickets and I hungout in the front of the singles line with Dennis my local buddy who won the Teton county fair caramel and cookie contest..a true legend. He even hand flexed my shiros which gave me a semi. The gondola started loading a few minutes after 9 and we took the exact same root as yesterday. Heavy slightly tracked up Amphitheater to the thunder then Grand which was deep to sublette to the run of the trip. Ten sleep bowl which was derp to the cirque which was knee deep with snow billowing up to my belly burton. Up thunder again back to grand which was pretty tracked up and to the Hobacks which was great till almost the bottom. Plenty of swaths of untracked and by the bottom I was sweating 😅 more than getting pulled over by a cop after smoking some loud. We then navigated around from the union pass chair to the teewinot up apres vous into some woods over to Casper lift and over to Marmot lift. Top of marmot made a quick pit stop for some water at the summit lodge. Then into the same woods we tracked out yesterday. The six of us did the best we could to ski every fresh turn in the two sections of woods off of marmot three runs straight. Hearing Nastar Glenn's hoots and hollers and see him emerge through a giant evergreen tree was worth the price of admission. After those three ski runs I was getting tired. Me, mike, Glenn and Atomic Jeff then skied the additional 2,000 vert through variable conditions down to the base and took the shuttle to the Kardashian mobile to debit and NMSki and JFDan skied one more run and met us at the alpenhof where we spent two hours waiting for food and 8 minutes eating. The food was really good. Me and Atomic Jeff shared the sausage platter and I had a cup of goulash..I drank a lot yesterday and was dehydrated so had water and an Arnold Palmer and the men had 4-5 pitchers of Spaten...now back in the 49er and gonna go to the bre bre brewery in a couple house. PARidge is in town and just had Wendy's. I wonder if he had a burcanator. Its 40 degrees in town and a giant puddle..tomorrow I'm trading the shiros for mantras as it will be the first on perder day of the trip.

Today was top notch. What a fucking treat. Doug thinks 15" in the Cirque. What a treat for Mbike and Nastar Glenn's first day.

Yeah its kinda a bummer. Salomon’s bindings ski really well, have a nice wide footprint on modern wider skis, and have good elasticity in the toe. They just kind of fall short in regards to constantly loosening the toe height and elasticity in the heel related to rebound from quick compressions during awkward g outs. Sally, mounting skis a second time should be no problem at all. The aaattacks or however they spell it have the same gripes I have with the warden, aside from toe height adjustment. If you’re not into doing stupid crap on skis like me, they’re totally fine though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Grand Teton popped its head out for a few seconds.
