Anti covid hitch hiking recommendation's. This article is relevant. Bottom line The best protection is open all windows. If that is too cold, sit in the back seat and open the front passenger and...

Next year's plan for this area is to set up a basecamp on the northwest ridge at about 8500' to ski some appealing terrain on the west side of Taylor. One idea I have is to follow the Talbolt/squaw...

Screwing around on Cal topo I noticed some nw facing terrain north of Beartooth pass where 212 descends towards Red Lodge in a series of abrupt switchbacks. Does this area hold snow? Parking? Good...

Red Lodge it will be. About one year from now I hope.
Winter is coming....

Folks overnight up there in RV's? Road suitable for 17' trailer and 4wd tug?

I used to ski ----.

There's a relevant Facebook thread at the Community Page of Teton County.

Yep, colorful name for sure. It is in Toriano's book. At this point I am betting that the line I am talking about has no name and I am inclined to leave it that way.

You want to call it? I am just a tourist there.

There is a moderate north facing line just north of "Balls On a Heffer". Does that have a name?

Ow, I'm just sittin here!

I love my DPS Tour 1 Wailer 99. Also consider Vole Vectors

I miss mine. Doc said I had to give my beloved 12" frypan due to elevated iron levels.

Use in Canada?

So I wanted to be able to make phone calls using wi fi (Canadian Hut without cell coverage) and Google Fi apparently uses cell towers if I understand it correctly. Testing Google phone on my...

Anyone have current experience using Google Voice in Canada?

Planning on taking a few conservative friends to ski lines on this western ridge off of Taylor Mountain. Toriano's Book suggests ascending Hungry Spur by following the east fork of the Hungry Creek...

My Suunto Core has never measured elevation gain/loss accurately. Suunto replaced it two and the replacement does the same thing. It over estimates elevation gain by a factor of 3. Suunto will do...

HI Vinski,

My wife and I have been skiing the south side of Teton Pass for the past four winters but lately we have been gazing south to the endless terrain between us and you. Trouble is, much of...

Photos please.

Wife and I have lugged our trailer VT to Driggs ID for the past three years and it's getting old. Not sure what we will do after 2019. Which is to say, if you are currently up for it , do it. A...

It's early yet. Ann will get it together for the October event. Good to talk about it here as volunteer numbers were down last year. I will post the schedule here when it comes out.

Pay to play (safely)

Too many ticks and nettles out there at this time of year. I go hunting during hunting season.

BTW, I found a piece of equipment on Berthoud. Identify what it is and where you lost it and we'll figure out how to get it back to you from Vermont

Yep, I have a lot to learn about corn formation. Heading back to Berthoud tomorrow before heading East on Thursday. (been out west since January)

Skied the meadows at Berthoud yesterday on what I would characterize as decent early corn. Following Timackie's suggestion I found that there hadn't been a hard freeze the night before. Rotten snow...

So we're camped out at Chief Hosa Campground outside of Golden which gives us access to either Loveland or Berthoud. Having visited both we are leaning toward Berthoud as it got slightly more snow...

Very helplful JPC, thanks.

Ok, 35* then, although I would consider a short 40* low consequence line on good corn snow.

Very helpful fg. I'll stop thinking about low elevation passes which simplifies matters somewhat. We are looking for somewhat easy road access to moderate terrain (25 - 40 degrees). If the...

At the end of March we could climb 3500 feet per day. Doubt we can do that much now at 12000 feet but I suspect we will still have options. We're in our 60's.

Compared to whom?

Two related questions come to mind.

1. Will any of the BLM RV sites in the area be open then? Or could we park our 17' travel trailer in a closed ski area parking lot (doubt it)?
2. Wonder how...

Will do-thanks.

Family politics requires a "plan", so suggestions for potential destinations would be helpful. Will revise as necessary in May as you guys suggest.

Have a hall pass to get some spring corn turns in Colorado during the first two weeks of May before heading back East. I suspect the high passes such as Loveland are not corning up yet and am...

We'e in our 60's and the energy expended 3.5 mile round trip just to get to ski lines is better spent climbing and skiing. Also, we START sking before anyone else and can get first tracks on any...

The tent is from this organization. https://www.snowtrekkertents.com/ It is made from 70z/yard cotton rather than the 10 oz materials commonly used for hunting tents you might by at Cabela's for...

Just spent 5 days camping in the upper section of West Mail Cabin Creek. The base camp allowed us to access many remote (INL, Debbies 88) lines we couldn't access as a day trip. Very...

We looked at the heated goggle yesterday. $300. Never considered warranty option but that doesn't help us in the near term unfortunately. Pat says she is considering contacts again after 20 years...

Anyone on the east side of Teton Pass have the skills to re-solder a loose wire on my wife's goggles? We are camping in Tetonia and don't have the tools in the trailer.
Thanks in advance,
Yardsale

Skiing here has been stellar for the past three years, at least from my eastern perspective. We are spending the winter camping in Tetonia and skiing the sh$t out of Teton Pass.

Thinking of him while sitting in our camper in Tetonia.

Thanks, we'll wait a month.

What is the pack weight up to now? 30 lbs or so? I carry 1/2 z rest pad. Former wilderness medicine doc and ski partner of mine (until I lost him to Grandfatherhood) said that hypothermia is...

Anyone know if there is enough base in Talbot Canyon just west of Taylor to ski at this point?

Had a notion to park at the state line parking lot and skin up towards Oliver to ski something called the Document Shredder which looked safe. Intimidated by the deep snow that two of us would have...

As an intermediate skier currently skiing bc probably 90% of the time, I am working at overcoming my bias against on piste skiing to become more proficient and , at age 66, plan for the day that bc...

Hiked up Mt. Philo today. State is cutting a new WNW line from the road to upgrade power (I think) to the pump at the well behind the ranger's station. Cut stays mostly in the fall line and should...
