JFskiDan Posted February 4, 2020 Report Posted February 4, 2020 Nothing spectacular happening here. Rumor is every flight out is booked for the rest of the week. At least there is a later flight out of dfw to phl. I just need to get to dfw. Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 4, 2020 Author Report Posted February 4, 2020 February 4th, 2020 Day 7 of 7.. Hey All, I’m back from another fun day at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Arrived at the mountain at around 810am and parking in the village lot. Temperature was around -7 under sunny sky’s. First civilian gondola and amphitheater to thunder chair was nice..Grand was better..up sublette and Rendevous bowl looked good..ended up doing Laramie bowl to the thunder chair then back up thunder and did Grand again to Gros Verte to the base. The stars aligned and we finally took the Tram..was a two Tram wait..Rendevous bowl was in fact very nice the wind had redeposited snow in the moguls and some sections were completely smooth. Skied Rendevous bowl to Grand to thunder very progressive then skied some more blown in chalk below the expert Chutes. Today was like the old school JH days runs were empty no lines at any of the chairs the cold scared some away or people started late today. My Boots felt great today with the cold another level of stiffness. Was nice walking right to car had lunch at Osteria we were the only people there...back at the 49er and Atomic Jeff is running. 7 Quote

Havent boarded yet, and it was supposed to take off in 15 mins. i really dont have a lot of luck at this airport. I thought there was no way in the world I was getting out yesterday. My cab driver asked me like 10 times if I was sure I wanted to go to the airport, and you couldn't even see 20 feet in front of the car with the blowing snow. I heard an airport worker say "I don't know what all these people are doing here, no flights are gonna be going out today". Then as I was checking in, I overheard a couple guys whose earlier flight had been cancelled saying that nothing was available for a couple days and that they were driving to idaho falls. I was shitting my pants at this point. Then there was a brief break in the wind, my incoming plane landed, they got our asses on the plane and we took off. I was very lucky. Fingers crossed for you my friend. 6 1 Quote

Popular Post AtomicSkier Posted February 4, 2020 Popular Post Report Posted February 4, 2020 Today was a "Jackson Hole of old" day. Absolutely 0 zero people, 100% sun, great groomers, and cold. It was around 0F at the base and maybe 10F at the top of the Gondola...slight inversion. First Amphitheater was a little stiffer then the carpet we had the other day with @JFskiDan and @NMSKI, but still fucking awesome. Grand was even better snow, and perfectly smooth. I definitely hit my highest speed of the trip today, probably mid 60s on Laramie and Grand. We overhead some people talking about doing another tram lap, so we decided today was the day. Skiing down to the Tram was like skiing into a freezer, with about 400 vertical feet to go, temps dropped quickly and my face instantly froze. Despite the 2 box wait, R bowl was so smooth it was like it was groomed. All the groomers up high today were fantastic, but we knew the stuff down low was chunky from previous days weather (yes, even some death cookies). It was just so nice being out on an insanely empty hill with 100% sun. It really was the Jackson Hole of old, something I haven't experienced in years. Quick Italian lunch and then I hit the trail that goes from town to the village for a quick 8 mile run. Given the snow/wind/insanely cold temps, today was my only chance to enjoy the beautiful (snow plowed) running trails Teton County has to offer. Today had me smiling on and off the hill today. Awesome way to end the trip. Top of Thunder Top of the Tram Crossing the Snake River on the pedestrian bridge during my run 15 1 Quote
