2011-2012 Jackson/Targhee/Tetons/Togwotee Weather, Conditions & Stoke Thread
For the sake of our snowpack I'm hoping all of this snow melts, but there's no reason to ski it (or at least try). Below are photos from the village, pass and Targhee from the past three days. Has anyone else been out already?
A few photos from the village on Thursday (view the rest in my thread here):
From bushwhacking the pass' Telemark Bowl yesterday (view the rest in my thread here):
From skinning Targhee this morning (there\\\'s a few more in my blog post here):
Teton Village only got about 2-3," which all likely has melted by now. Higher up got more, but still seemed pretty thin. Teton Pass got about a foot, but there's a lot that needs to be covered up. Targhee by far got the most snow. There was about 8-12" at the base this morning (although it got pretty warm by the afternoon) and closer to 18" up to with drifts in excess of 2 feet. Long live winter!

Early October snow is bad juju, and skiing it is a good way to end your season before it starts. Like you say, hopefully it melts out and starts again mid-November for reelz.
The blues has always been about taking your problems and turning them into something you can dance to, drink to and fuck to.
We're certainly not a blues band in any kind of purest sense, but to me Rock and Roll has always had it's roots in that tradition.

We need another month of fall. Not just for my fishing habit and sanity but for the snowpack. It ain't ski season yet, I hope!

KGB Productions put on a great show last night with Wyoming Triumph. Who else made it out? What'd you think?

I made it out for that showing and I thought they did a better job than TGR this year (yeah it was a multi-year project). Sooo much stoke.

The KGB boys did an incredible job. Loved the movie.
It pretty much turned my brain into ski mode even though the weather, fishing and MTB are all so great right now...

Is anyone else super excited never to have to go to the base area again with the new Marmot lift. Cause this guy is.
And yeah yeah yeah the tram is there, but Rendevous bowl tends to usually kinda suck, and I can hit most of whats out the gates from Sublette outside of Cody. I just cant wait to avoid the base area shitshows on the rare occaision we are actually crowded.

I can't wait to return back to the Tetons after two weeks of travel. Does anyone know if Darby and Teton Canyons are currently open (open to 4 wheel drive access) to the trailheads?

I'm guessing they are. I frequently drive past both on stateline road. The lower canyons were dry on friday. There's only two inches of fluff on the ground at the mouth of Darby. Most of the snow that fell over the past weekend was light, insubstantial stuff. Shouldn't be too hard to drive through. Looks like after this weekend, however, you can switch over to the snowmachine. Winter is here. Whatever falls will stick til May. Originally Posted by LiveTheDream

Teton Canyon road doesn't officially close til Nov 30. Probably clear still. From what I hear, it is still rocky and thin even at the "Ghee. Maybe you could do a little kick/ glide out in the loops, but be patient up higher.
