GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 Nice must have been windy there's not even snow on the trees. Quote
burton71 Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 Nice only $73 for tickets there. Discount lift tickets is something you'll never see in Jackson hole...they don't exist. I got discount tickets to Jackson through the condo I booked. About $60 off a 5 day ticket. Quote
indiggio Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 Take it to the Jackson Hole thread(s) That thread is closed today! Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 I got discount tickets to Jackson through the condo I booked. About $60 off a 5 day ticket. Yeah that's different I mean like a one day ticket at a ski shop Quote
RidgeRacer Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Posted February 8, 2017 Great day so far. Spent most of the day skiing off of Great Western. We found a ton of really deep stuff in the OB area off of Great Western lift. Dan ended up on someone's driveway. I found myself climbing uphill. Lots of good, untracked stuff in the trees (and even some right in plain sight) pretty much every where. Not crazy soft but still really good. Good day for sure. 3 Quote
JFskiDan Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 I still fucking love this place. Not real sure how they got off on reporting 7" overnight, but they didnt get anything. Its a good "day aftrr the storm" type conditions. Can still locate some nice pockets of deep stuff, but it is on the heavier side. Trees are still good. Mixing in some nice groomers so we can keep it going till the bell rings. Stopped this morning to pick up a pair of nordica enforcer 100 to demo. Nice ski. They only had it in 169, and i think i would really like to be in the 183 range. Lunch is over. Enjoy the day tomorrow, it looks like Blue will get the goods. Maybe even skitoLive will make it out. Oh, wait, powder makes homestretch even less managable. I hate that. 3 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 JFDan Brighton didn't report 7" overnight they reported 7" in the last 24 hours and 0 overnight. It seemed fishy so I checked earlier. JFDan Brighton didn't report 7" overnight they reported 7" in the last 24 hours and 0 overnight. It seemed fishy so I checked earlier. Actually 9" 24 hours but 0 inches overnight. Sorry for being so detail oriented but you have to be in the tombstone business. Quote
JFskiDan Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 Yup. Thats what it says now. Thats not what it said at 7:30 am. Is what it is. Not regretting being at brighton today for sure. 1 Quote

JFskiDan Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 It is. Oddly enough, it might be more crowded today than monday. Quote
RidgeRacer Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Posted February 8, 2017 The milly lift is being a complete asshole today. Since we're sitting here might as well share our view with you all 5 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted February 9, 2017 Author Report Posted February 9, 2017 Great day today to cap off the trip. Spent the latter half of the day skiing Mt. Millicent...the bowl, trees, etc. We made our way to an out of bounds area off of the traverse. Shit was spicy in there but the snow was pretty good. Only way out was hopping off a cliff or a really tight squeeze between two rock ledges. We chose the latter. Dan skied it like he does it every fucking day then starts yelling at me to point them and go. haha. Capped it off with a few groomer runs off of crest and called it a day around 4pm. Blue bird and sun all day long which is not what was forecasted but no one is complaining. Some sun baked crud in spots but still some decent stuff in the trees. Conditions were nothing like Monday or yesterday morning but it was so nice to see the sun. Brighton is a great place. Glad I could spend a little time there this go around (missed skiing it the last few times here). Will definitely be back. 2 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 9, 2017 Report Posted February 9, 2017 Nice report Ridge did you have any wipeouts?? Quote
RidgeRacer Posted February 9, 2017 Author Report Posted February 9, 2017 Nice report Ridge did you have any wipeouts?? Nope. Although I almost jacked myself up pretty good at Snowbird yesterday on a traverse called "scary corner". I had no idea that I needed speed to get over a hump on the traverse. I slowed down and ended up getting myself into a bind. Remained upright though. Won't forget next time around. 1 Quote
JFskiDan Posted February 9, 2017 Report Posted February 9, 2017 Pics make this look like it has the same pitch as homestretch, but its quite the opposite. I really enjoy Brighton. Parking lot was packed when we left, but liftlines were nothing, not having to do the human slalom to ski groomers at a good clip was nice. From the looks of the line at the ticket window at 4pm, it looks like they di quite a good business night skiing. The trails for night skiing werent all bombed out either. 3 Quote
Johnny Law Posted February 10, 2017 Report Posted February 10, 2017 Great day so far. Spent most of the day skiing off of Great Western. We found a ton of really deep stuff in the OB area off of Great Western lift. Out the gate is Hidden Canyon that area is sick and holds snow forever, if the ended up in a driveway you probably had to walk back to the lift. The return to the lift cutoff is tricky but always take the highest line back. Quote

The return to the lift cutoff is tricky but always take the highest line back. Lol....i forgot this but, that is exactly where i ended up.....in someones driveway. And you are right, holds snow real well. i was just having such a good time playing in there, i just kept going without really paying attention to where i was really heading. That was a pretty long walk. In the area below where the last pics were taken, we came across some boarded up cabins, which was kinda odd, they were really in the middle of no where. 3 Quote
