    boarding/skiing alone in Jackson?

    Is it safe to go skiing/boarding alone at Jackson? Itll be my first time out there. BTW, I consider myself to be pretty advanced and Ill be staying mostly in the in bound areas.

    thoughts or opinions?

    Well, I don't know the specifics in your case, but your heart will stop beating, your brain will cease to function, no more oxygen will flow to your lungs. You will likely evacuate your bowels, and even your saliva, semen, and other bodily fluids. They you will go into rigor mortis, begin to decay, and turn into a fetid pile of rotting flesh and corpusculent entrails.
    If you are lucky, animals will gnaw on your now useless bones, and a minor evil deity from the planet Kolob will make a ceremonial dinner bell out of your skull, which he will use to summon the Jackals of Moroni, who will then devour your clotted blood in goblets made of petrified Mastadon testicles.

    Beyond that, it is unclear, unfortunately....

    No one has ever survived an inbounds day at J-hole. It is like a giant black hole that gapers disappear into. They get on the tram, and never get back to base lodge again.

    It's called the Jackson Hole Triangle for a reason....be afraid, be very afraid.

    I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...

    if you want to make instant friends in the lift/tram lines, wear either snowblades or rax-skis. everyone will want to schred w/ you, then you wont be alone and your life will be spared. and keep a nice gap between your googles and helmet...exposed skin = even more stoke.

    Wyoming grizzly bears don’t hibernate. There have been numerous tales of solo skiers or riders getting dragged into caves in the Hobacks. Months later, JH Mtn Patrol only finds bones...Scary shit!

    Make sure you ski with a big handgun. A SW .44 Magnum would be sufficient.

    I'm so much cooler than you!!!!!


    That is basically what every reply here can be read as.


    And yes, you will be fine. Unless something bad happens. Then you won't.

    you can probably pay someone to hold your hand if you're scared
    I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.
