Justo8484 Posted January 27, 2022 Report Posted January 27, 2022 Always characters out here. The Casper lift is closed this week due to electrical issues. I feel like it’s making the line for the Teton chair longer. I was just on Thunder lift and about a 2 minute wait in singles line. Only had to get in line 21 minutes before opening ding ding to get first gondoobie. http://pasr.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/monthly_2022_01/E6679826-6C23-465E-A6B3-746CF42544DF.thumb.jpeg.57a70a7d92a2bab9103d1cb4a000825a.jpegThat character has some bougie gear, and I don’t mean the polar bear they’re wearingSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote

Popular Post AtomicSkier Posted January 27, 2022 Popular Post Report Posted January 27, 2022 @NMSKI and I had a double hobacks day, including a top to bottom Rendezvous Bowl -> Hobacks run. Beautiful weather out there today. Sky couldn't be any bluer. 12 1 1 Quote
toast21602 Posted January 27, 2022 Report Posted January 27, 2022 Double top to bottom Hobacks is no joke. Looks good, fellas! Those blue skies are always stunning. Quote
indiggio Posted January 28, 2022 Report Posted January 28, 2022 That sky in @GrilledSteezeSandwich picture is remarkable! I bet the picture doesn't even do the real thing justice. Quote

I was actually waiting to see how long it would be until somebody said something lol. Not much other than skiing 10k of vert an hour and no liftlines until late morning today. Lightning fast groomers, demanding bumps, slick areas, frozen toes, sharing Gatorade, overtipping mangy moose waitresses, sweating from every pore in my body skiing the hobacks yesterday and getting yelled at by ski patrol on day one. Again the normal. NMSki has been a blast to have on the trip and Atomic Jeff is alright..perfect visibility, icy sidewalks, maskless shuttle bus rides, lots of drinking...lots of sleeping...lots of riding the lifts with people from jersey and Canada. That’s your update for now. More to come and maybe some powder late in the trip. Stay tuned. Gotta take off my pants and check out the blue webcams. 9 Quote

Johnny Law Posted January 29, 2022 Report Posted January 29, 2022 Just the scale of that place is insane and when something is really good sometimes you take zero pictures 1 Quote
AtomicSkier Posted January 29, 2022 Report Posted January 29, 2022 Forgot to mention ... it was -20F on the way to the mountain today. The second coldest drive I've ever had here. 3 Quote
Popular Post GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 29, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Posted January 29, 2022 I’ve been pretty lax on the reports because every day here has been like groundhogs day. Jackson hole mountain resort received 20 feet of snow, most of it falling in late December and early January. A lot of it was heavy Pacific Northwest snow which filled in and pasted every nook and cranny of the mountain which has made for excellent coverage from top to bottom. North facing areas like Bivoac, Crags run, 10 sleep bowl and some cold lower mountain terrain like Slalom run has been nice chalk while south facing stuff has been a lot stiffer. The first ski day on Wednesday was extremely empty and had the best snow so far. Zero liftlines at all and Thursday continued with zero liftlines and I skied the Hobacks that day which had nice coverage but pure moguls, nowhere I could really let my skis run...the days generally began with an amphitheater from the gondola summit to the bottom of Thunder which the first three days was Boner Doner, today not so good more like Blues grooming. Laramie bowl and Grand have mostly been good, Rendevous trail is a clusterfuck..Bivoac I’ve skied every day was huge chalk and slick bumps day one..groomed day two loose snow flying everywhere and still chalky days three and four. The Casper lift has been closed the entire time so far which has made the Teton lift a bit busier but terrain in the Casper area has been emptier because you need to get to it from other lifts. Today did at least three nonstop top to bottom Teton lift laps which are like 3.5 minutes up and 2 minutes down and had some serious burn. Apres vous area has been crowded and cold... Everyday of this trip has been freezing at the bottom like -15 to -20 warming into the single digits while up high has been in the teens mostly. The first day was partly sunny and last three have been full sunshine. It hasn’t been frantic at all, we’ve been leaving the hotel at 8am and getting on the first or second civilian gondola everyday and I’m usually pretty stoned for the lucky people who get to hear about the tombstone industry and about pros and cons of pow days vs non pow days. Today after skiing had lunch at Osteria in the Hotel Terra..Caesar salad and Bolognese, two tables over was Kai Jones, pro skier and son of Teton Gravity research founder Jeremy Jones. Also got to chat with a Portland guy who is originally from Long Island who is living at the Antler Inn this winter for $1200 a month and has a $1080 senior citizen season pass along with an air fryer. Wintertime wnd the livings easy. He used to work for John Lennan, Billy Joel and Jerry Seinfeld..fucking legend. 10 Quote
