Here’s a few shots of some of the crew today. I had a great time with everyone.

I just got in town about an hour ago. Crashing at my Aunt’s place here in Wilson. I plan to hit the tram first thing and then get over to Casper at 11am to see if anyone has change.

I’m still planning on the Pass Sunday morning before I head back. I’m actually not going to do any touring per se but just do the boot pack to the top. These days I’m not that quick on the uphill but...

I’m all set with a ticket for Saturday. Thanks for the assist BBear! I will probably do a lap or two on the Pass Sunday morning before I head back to Eagle if anyone is interested. Probably...

Sweet! That sounds great. I just sent you a PM.

Hey I think I have my schedule cleared to head over that way after work on the 28th and ski JH on the 29th. I may do a lap or two on the pass on Sunday. I'm fine with shelling out the $$$ for a day...

My daughter has a 4 year old black lab and I have a 7 month old chocolate lab that is his half sister. The black lab has eaten numerous socks, a couple of his doggie beds, a whole roll of TP, books,...

It’s kinda funny that your last word in the post is “bogus”. The two areas that I ski are Bogus Basin and JH. And here in Boise we do have the opposite “problem” that you have in Jhole. They only...

Reading through the posts in this thread about daughters and dating reminds me of an incident that I had several years ago. This was back in the day when land lines were far more prevalent than...

I’m gonna try to make it during the window. I didn’t buy any kind of pass this year, but I can usually get some kind of a discount or freebie. I am planning on getting some laps in on the pass or...

The Sawtooth range in Idaho may offer what you’re looking for. Fly into Boise, requires one stop from Boston. Take a scenic drive 2 1/2 hours north to Stanley. Lodging, food and basic services are...

So, I spent the 7 days Feb 15-21 using up my 7-Day Pass. Here are some of my observations:
1 - It was probably the best 7 days of skiing entirely inbounds at Jhole that I have ever had, (I have to...

Here's a sample of the goods that I found out there today. Even found an untracked Hobacks line without riding the tram or the Gondy. https://youtu.be/rRBwuxS3a7w

BTW I'm thinking of hitting...

I’ve been following the thread and the stoke this year. Must say I’m kinda jealous. We’ve been getting inches out here in SW Spud land when you all are snorkeling in feet. Anyway, I’ll be rolling...

I was born and raised in the Hoback. My family moved away when I was a freshman in high school in’73. I guess that kinda dates me. Anyway, the road doesn’t close that often but occasionally slides...

Hey Turbo, the SWE data is there. Just click on the desired SNOTEL site link and an interactive graph pops up with Snow Depth, SWE and Air Temp. You can toggle between 7, 14, 30, 90 days and the...

Garnett looks a little boney, but hey it's mid November so way to get after it.

Skiing on Thanksgiving? Nope, but I'll head up to Bogus on Black Friday and check out the inevitable lift lines....

For those who may be interested, here is a webpage that lets you select one of several backcountry zones in the Intermountain region, (Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah and Nevada). When you select the...

I'll see if I can get ahold of some footage. My cousin, Andy Chambers, was on the US Ski Team during that time-frame, (late 70s - early 80s). I know he raced it in WC races. A couple of years ago...

I've been eating Grapenuts as a part of my breakfast rotation since I was a kid in the 60's.
When I was younger I drowned them in half and half with spoonfuls of sugar. Nowadays it's just a...

Just checking in from the western side of the spud state. Thanks for getting the new thread started DJ.

I'm wondering if she was trying to create her own "Naked and Afraid" episode. (It was reported that she was at least cognizant enough to keep a count of the days marked on a tree). But apparently...

Have you thought about Colter Bay in GTNP? I haven't done the RV camping there, but we've tent camped at CB a couple of times. Here's what I like about Colter. It is easy to make a couple of day...

Hey DJ, that's one pussification I think I might welcome. Whenever I opt for a top-to-bottom run I usually finish in that zone and my couch potato...

I would miss the memes that get posted up, and TRs.
Setting up a forum is pretty easy. (I set one up a couple of years ago, but wasn't motivated to try to get any members). The only users that...

After a cursory search for the appropriate thread, I figured this one was as good as any. LMAO, best meme I've seen for quite awhile....

I keep forgetting to post this up from a trip I made to the Tetons on July 11th. I thought it would be some stoke, but my wife said it is just skiing on crap.

A couple of more observations on the black labs. My daughter has a 3yr old lab that I take backcountry skiing a few times each winter. He is 80 lbs, fit and built for cold weather. I feel that his...

Awesome video of the Moran adventure!

[QUOTE=skibrd;5966748]I’m not old and crusty, but I’m in a similar spot. Not sure what I’ll do tbh. Probably buying a pass, but renaming the grand pass and tossing in a random early Gondi day,...

I live in the Boise area, but I've been into the Lick Creek area several times and stayed at the PPG Yurt there. IMO, that area has some of the best backcountry skiing in Idaho. It's a snow magnet...

The quote that the OP refers to isn't in the avalanche report, but it is in today's Teton area forecast as stated by the Avalanche Center. I would take that as credible, accurate information.

Hey, Teleee we were posting at the same time. I put the link in my post. Was actually NW of Stanley.

Probably not the "best", but certainly a classic - McGown in the Sawtooth Range. (I searched the thread and I don't think it's been posted yet).
