Summer skiing in Jackson

**Neezer** · 07-22-2008, 12:44 AM

Well, I will finally be getting home to jackson for the first time in Jackson since april, and I am wondering if there are any opportunities to ski in the Tetons this time of year.

I'm new to the area, and i guess I'm wondering in anyone would like to show a JONG around.

I thought skiing in Jackson was only from December-April when the resort said we could ski? If there is snow it is usually skiable, you just need to get motivated.

well the resort is, but what about in grand teton? if there is snow up there can "they" stop us from skiing?

"They" can stop you.
Just try.
You are doomed.

Damn....is there anywhere in the area that a guy can ski? I am just really jonesin' to make some turns!

I don't see why you couldn't ski in the tetons...unless its national forest perm ob or something.

No, no...you kids don't understand.
It all has to do with Cheney and National Security.

They can't have 'randoms' up in the hills with long poles near the Veep's home...too suspicious.

Don't bother...you WILL be caught.

Do you see any snow in the mountains? If so, walk that direction and you will find skiing.

You will need at least a G3 clearance from the NSA to ski the Tetons outside of the Dec-April window.

If you go without clearance can you say Gitmo.

You will be skiing around here before you know it. If you need a fix go to the Winds, Beartooths, or Glacier.

Wait just a minute... You said "home" and "new to the area" in the same statement. If Jackson were really your home, you would not need to ask strangers online were to go skiing. I'm not sure were your real home is, but you should stop saying it's Jackson.
