Statistically speaking a place like blue or camelback will have one skier or rider death about once every two years based on skier visits. On any given day you have about a one in a million chance of dying on the slopes. You have a way better chance of dying on the drive to and from the mountain.

Welcome to Jackson hole TP4. On 3pm bus have a 22 ounce beer for the ride. Shadows you could clean the bus windows here. View would be decent if clean.

Should be back to firm for the weekend. What kind of skis do you ski on???

Wow just wow according to our local friend Dennis phone app we hit 83mph today I think more like 70mph but we've all skied for a few decades. Crazy wow.

Having an incredible time today. Waiting for Tram right now. Me and atomic Jeff think MBike Mike, Indiggio and Tarponhead would have an incredible time here due to all the bumps and tree skiing and also the classic hippie music. I'll post a few pics while I have a second. Our 26 year local friend skied the first hour and a half with us and we skied Mach looney speeds on many groomers. Sunny up high and frozen fog below. Great times!!! Boots feel awesome always do by day three.

No weekend thread cause I'm in Jackson hole. Look for one next Thursday or Friday. Ok bus arriving in Teton village. Happy Friday all.

Above zero on the mountain. Not wearing fleece layer or I would roast.

Ski2Live those are normal pocono conditions just go matter of fact go Saturday and Sunday. Gotta go consecutive days season is short. It will be fine. Season is way to short to be a fence sitter.

Frozen and loose granular..and some fresh man made.

-13 in town now and -30 with the wind woo might need my fleece layer today

Just went to bubbas walked back and felt really cold in a tshirt and fleece no hat. Just looked at weather and it's minus 2 windchill minus 17 oh Lordy. Could be a chilly walk to the bagel place in the morning. It is a dry cold though lol.

Not even wearing a helmet.

As long as you don't spell potato like Dan Quayle

25th in 2015 TP4 me and Atomic Jeff are looking forward to showing you around the best ski resort in the lower 48...what time do you arrive tomorrow??

January 26th 2017 day 2 of 7 Hey all, Today was another fun day at Jackson hole mountain resort. We took the town bus to the mountain and were once again first civilian gondola with our local friend who skis everyday on a prototype ski which would normally cost $2500 or so. First run was amphitheater to the Thunder quad in about an inch of new pixie dust on top of groomed snow. Temperatures on the mountain were in the low single digits to start and not much wind. Next run was grand and grand woods which was pretty nice and some powdery areas. Up Sublette and down Pepis run to Alta 3 chute..was mostly soft bumps. Up Sublette again and down the woods to the left of Bivoac I think Wally World named after the ski patroller who died in that area several years back. Back down to the thunder lift and we took some action shots on the Grand then up Sublette and took a few videos of tree skiing in the Bivoac woods. After that run skied the Hobacks which are started to get a bit more packed powder..I actually enjoy the chalky snow a bit more than yesterday's sloppy seconds..I've never been a fan of tracked out powder either want untracked or smooth...then took Union pass lift skied down to teewinot up teewinot up apres vous and doodled around the right side of Satatoga bowl to St Johns which was a mogul field and hollywooded past some goobers then had a late lunch at the Handlebar in the four seasons soft pretzel to share with cheese sauce for dipping and hot wings for me and pastrami sang for atomic Jeff..Arnold Palmer got me and Pacos IPA for Jeff and now riding the town bus back to the 49er. Back a little early so hope housekeeping is done cleaning our rooms. They have a tendency to move really slow and have caught them sitting on end of the bed watching TV. The sun tried to peak out today and looks like maybe tomorrow it will be sunny but a lot colder with lows around minus ten. JADIP probably about 25k of vert skied today I'm tired but not as tired as yesterday. JADIJH

Here's some pictures from today. Report to follow soon. titty sparkles in the Hobacks. Woods shot More woods $13 soft pretzel $7 Arnold Palmer with ice cubes made of iced tea. 19th busiest US airport in passenger volume. Doesn't make top 50 worldwide. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_busiest_airports_in_the_United_States

Wrong...

It's gonna be fast...snowmaking this weekend.

On the town bus to the hill. So much nicer than the hotel bus lots of poor locals talking about recent trips to Japan.

Wow just wow. More balls than brains.

Way to get after it.

I just walked over to the loaf and jug to get a few drinks and snacks for the room and now I'm exhausted. Skied about 20k of vert by my count but only two or three of the runs were groomers.

It's their business they can do what they want. We got shit from people cause we were closed on Black Friday...just seemed dumb to me to be closed on thanksgiving Thursday and be open Friday vs everybody having a four day weekend. VTMark post pictures on Facebook today and Blue looked decent. Still solid coverage. I think JLaw will be up tonight so maybe he or TP4 or VTMark will post a report.

January 25, 2017 Day 1 of 7. Hey All, Finished with a fun first day at Jackson Hole. The bus to the mountain was packed with French people. We secured our 7 day lift tickets for $530 thanks to the 40% season pass discount and managed first civilian gondola with a local who skis everyday who we've seen the last few years. He impressively has over 1500 lifetime days here. First run was a groomed amphitheater to Thunder chair in flat light. Then Grand woods which were playful and had some pockets of leftover fresh. Up sublette and down 10 sleep bowl to the cirque which for pretty tracked out yesterday but still decent. The mountain was super empty today and no liftlines at all. Up Thunder and down our secret pow stash found a few fresh leftovers..then up Thunder again and down Laramie bowl which was groomed on the left side. Up Sublette and hit up Bivoac woods which was my first tree skiing of the season and nice to know I've still got it..then up Sublette again and over to the Hobacks..the entrance to the hobacks was slightly sketch but farther down was super good with about 700 vert of barely tracked powder in the middle section. There were hoots and hollers..wahahahaha. Then up Union pass lift over to Teeeinot to apres vous down a shitty grooomer to Teton lift then into the Wahaahahaoey glades which were pretty nice and down to Casper chair. Up Casper and over to Thunder..final run consisted of thunder woods, riverton bowl and a lower face. Was pretty cold today with temperatures in the single digits but I got warm on any non groomer runs. Looks like sunshine tomorrow and TP4 will be here in a few days. Didn't see Harrison fords plane at the airport. We did last year. Conditions are good. Me and Jeff are picky so not that into sloppy seconds but better than blue is right now and probably the best skiing we'll have all week.

Here's some pictures from today. I'll post a report in a little bit.
