    A PNW winter is the new norm, its abysmal under 2000m here in Europe now. Skied St Anton yesterday and we could only dream, if there was snow. Global temps are rising quick. In happy news,Tetons are still crowdless I assume and holy shit you guys are getting nuked. Raymer at 147", wow, wish I was there. 100 year winter by the time its done I bet.
    PS how tired are everyones legs, or did the 4 day blow down help out with that?

    No trailers allowed November-April, so this guy's double fucked.

    Closed at 2:30. Sign up for the WYDOT texts, but not the notifications, otherwise you get one every time it changes to chain law etc.

    yeah, got that part.

    just wondering how he got up there since it was at least 45 minutes (1hr 15 seeing Tye 1on's post!) after the road closed.
    you'd figure there were some highway patrol/wydot people around involved with closing the road, can't figure out the timeline/logistics. Usually in broad daylight they can catch them early, let alone when the road & weather is turning to shit & they are thinking about closing...

    What do you mean? Last I heard the fine starts at like $600? Would be interested in more accurate info but afaik it's barely a slap on the wrist.

    We've had a lot of warm, wet and windy, but also extended periods of sub zero (I know, I've been building outside this winter). December and January were well below normal temps. Too soon to call one month's weather the "new normal".

    And crowdless? I wish.

    I see now from various facebook comments that stuck truck was likely part of closure reason, not something that snuck in unrelated to closure. makes more sense.

    what skins are working for people as of late? All my fancy euro skins that work great in dry cold don't really care for wet much. My old High Trail Evotec Climbing Skins seem to be the best, super slow but they aren't failing like the Kohla ones I took out today that I managed to kick off 3 fucking times.. Nothing was working Voile Straps, back of the leg trick, apparently Colltex is making some adhesive you can spray on to make skins stick when they fail? TBD if it actually works.

    Wow was it nasty today. Lower faces initially heavy glop, and then so sticky you could not even ski it.
    Most unskiable snow I ever rode
    Need some healing cold and snow

    The snow has definitely been working me when I get out!

    Gonna be an interesting fishing season. Already had a couple good days. When are you headed back? We should get a lake day when all this white stuff comes down.

    Second one, same aspect, probably not feet first, heard collar bone and ribs broken.

    Also heard rumor of someone out still in Granite, the old top gate blown to Cardiac drainage. Take that one with a grain of salt.

    When will they open tomorrow, will Car 1 still be dragging in the snow between tower 5 and the dock?

    Do I go early or go to the office?

    Amazing balls for the rangers to ski out there in 70 mph winds to get the guy, but news and guide says they abandoned due to hazard.
    Cannot imagine 2 nights out there with the winds raging. Hope the guy makes it.

    If they cannot clear the drift, it's going to be a car 2 only day.

    has there been much talk about the fatality involving a party climbing the south teton to access the amora vida line?
    sounds like it was a fall from the looker's right side of the amora vida line while climbing?

    http://www.tetonvalleynews.net/news/...a257c8c95.html

    There was a photo showing ascent route and intended line on jhavalanche dot org, but no longer

    thanks for the link, tragic stuff.
    condolences to family and friends

    I was wrong, it started with a route-finding error during the descent, not on ascent

    Thanks! I wish I could but I need to really buckle down and focus on my Microbiology course right now. We have been getting slammed with snow this season (for us) and it's been having a negative impact on my studies.

    I thought the Granite thing was bar talk, but a great ending!

    http://jacksonhole.media/2017/02/mis...found-rescued/

    That's the Park Service statement cut and pasted basically.

    Crazy that they split up- The guy who skinned up is apparently a Marine pilot. He
    went with a only minimal under layers and his shell. Gave everything to his partner.

    The night creature was pretty freaked to have company at 1:30 am when it was gusting
    80+!

    So happy for a great ending!

    How does this happen over and over? Just go out the bottom gate, no cliffs, no blow into
    Granite.
