ColoradoHigh Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 I don't know about Jackson Hole anymore. I am getting so upset right now, they closed 20 fucking trails within' the past 2-3 days. They have very limited snow coverage, and very crappy conditions. There is no way in hell I am going skiing in crappy conditions for my first time out in Wyoming. I will go, but if my first day there sucks, I am leaving the next day. I don't even give a crap about the rest of the days. If the conditions suck, then forget it. I'm out. I didn't pay for crappy conditions. With the Crapuweather 15 day forecast for Jackson Hole, its look very grim for snow now. There is no snow in sight, and there base depth ranges from 5"-64"! 5 FUCKING INCHES? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!? Noway. No way I am skiing THAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicSkier Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 I guess you're umfailiar Chippy, but steeper pitches don't have as much snow on them, hence, a few 50 degree days and it all goes away. There is MORE then adequate converage on the trails you would ski on. zomg! Corbets isn't open. What ever shall Chippy do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 If they close another five runs, I'd definitely stay home. The mountain is seriously filled with open cravasses; you make a wrong turn and you can fall a hundred feet. And there's been two flash floods in the Hobacks, which usually doesn't happen until late May. Six skiers and two boarders were washed from South Hoback to the Moose Creek Quad...if you go, definitely look for signs for Pooh Bear and Antelope Flats and rock those...

sibhusky Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 (edited) I'd say come here, but we are closing April 8. Everything is still open, but at this time of year conditions can change rapidly. Also, our famous tree skiing is pretty much a non-starter unless it heats up or we get dumped on (I prefer option B.) But there is "chance of snow" listed for here every day next week starting tomorrow afternoon. We had just a few bare patches showing on Friday and it has been getting slushy in the PM. It did rain today, tho, so not sure what that did. The inch of fresh snow on the groomers yesterday was nice until around noon, when it began to merge with the softening snow underneath and felt a bit gummy. By 3 PM I was limiting my runs to the back side (north) and the last few runs down the front were definitely a LOT of effort with piles of slush. 4/1 they close Hellroaring Basin because of the bruins. At the Summit they are reporting an 81 inch base and 20 inches down in the village, with 45 inches mid-mountain. We don't have the rock issue that many western resorts have, so 45 inches is sufficient to cover the grass. Driving distance from Jackson is 500 miles, supposedly 8 1/2 hours. You'd pass Big Sky, Bridger, Moonlight, on the way, but we've had WAY more snow this season, so I don't know how they're doing at this point. Siblet didn't have a single good day there due to crowds and conditions until just this month. You'd also pass Montana Snowbowl, Turner, Blacktail, and some other areas, but if you keep going past Bozeman, you might as well come all the way up here.

Dan- Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 (edited) I honestly can't believe what i just read. Im speechless... No skiing vs. Skiing Jackson in the Spring.. GIVE ME A F*CKING BREAK. The stuff that is closed will probably make you shit yourself and you wouldn't do it anyway. Oh and who is paying? you or your dad? I would of loved to have my parents pay for my Jackson trip in January... My parents never took me anywhere further than VT, so be grateful you have parents that are willing to travel to places out west.. and honestly, it's SPRING TIME what do you fucking expect, it's not gonna be knee deep kid. It's gonna be corn snow, which in my opinion is 2nd best, powder being first. Edited March 25, 2007 by KnuckleDragger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoHigh Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Meh. I was in a shitty mood last night. I had a tough week of school. I guess I will just take it, and make the best out of it. Oh well. W/e. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
