Trying to figure this out now... Unfortunately, looks like I can only swing Thurs - Sunday. So just two full days of skiing, which kind of sucks. But I could fly out of PHL or Newark....PHL and I can arrive at 11:30 and try for a half day in teh afternoon, or I could fly out of Newark and have a 2:30 departure, which means maybe 2-1/2 3 hours on the last day. Thoughts on the best bet there? I'm inclined to think squeezing the half day morning in on the way how is a little safer bet. The morning flight out would have a connection in denver, so that could go wrong and screw things up. Quote

Depending on the weather I’ll give you pointers on where to ski for the best snow. If it’s warm and gets cold the south facing terrain will be rough while the north facing will be pleasant chalk..where are you staying?? Quote

Looks like a condo walking distance to the Teton Mountain Lodge where some of the group is staying. So which side of the trail map is north? Quote

It was a sheer vertical cornice that day and I couldn't believe it when he went it! The drop in this picture looks like nothing in comparison. Mad props to @toast21602 for dropping into the abyss that was Corbet's that day! I'll never forget that run and I'm glad you all convinced to to get first tram with you before my flight. 2 Quote

tnt Posted February 13, 2020 Report Posted February 13, 2020 I just paid to change my plane flight to give me three full days and option for a half day sunday. Looked at the calendar and really didn't see any chances to get far enough north for good skiing, so this seemed wise. 2 1 Quote

You two are pretty ballsy I told @toast21602 that I'd follow him in to pick up his stuff if something happened, since he was leaving later that morning. We still had the rest of the week left to ski, so with the entrance so sketchy that morning, I didn't want to risk it that day. We never made it back up there. Quote

Early March once. It’s not as good then as late January/early February due to the warmth and exposure. Quote
