Jackson Hole Roll Call 15/16!

[panchosdad]

Heads up out there http://m.jhnewsandguide.com/jackson_....html?mode=jqm

But it's moderate dude. Good to go.

[homemadesalsa]

Yep. Dropped that info off. If anyone saw the idiot boot packing up corbet's, that was me! No luck on the recovery mission. So I guess it will be nice and rusty when I get it back.

I've found a number of single skis in the spring while teaching snow schools in Corbets. In general they are in decent shape.

[Shredhead]

They don't usually rust up until summer.
Just go back and ski the same line everyday until you find it.

If patrol finds it, it's mandatory case of beer!

[Hey Diddle Diddle]

Snowboards and snowboarders can get in an impossible situation. Hiking back out may not be possible on a steep icy slope. Soft boots compound the problem.

Even being a little low on the traverse on a steep firm slope can screw the snowboarder. the slope is too steep to hop up to where he needs to be but taking one or two feet out risks slide for life. A blind roll below makes for a very unnerving situation with limited options. This is another reason why skiing is better.

Wife and I used to do yearly trip to JH but after starting a family its been about 4 years. We are heading back this March for a get away and celebrating an anniversary we missed. Would like to do at least one nice dinner. What is the best food, cost is not an issue but I don't need to go to the most expensive place if its not the best. Also we are open to any type of food.

Gather has been the new hot spot. I've been once and liked it.

Just to be clear I don't work at there but have some friends who do.

Snake river Grill is always good.

Steiglers's (reserve the love seat at the bar), is good. Done a few anniversaries there. We know the owner and a bartender tho so I'm biased. Chippos and a burger are the way to go.

So was that you up on the shoulder of Glory yesterday, lecturing me and my level 2 avalanche class about the differences between hard wind slab and soft wind slab. Jeez I sure did appreciate it, especially the self-congratulatory attitude with which you gave the information. If you had initiated a pleasant conversation, I would have enjoyed it, but know-it-alls effectively shut down any give and take.

[WaistDeepGroomers]

Fun two days at le village this weekend. Slack pow Saturday and really dynamite groomer wind buff surfing on Sunday. Grateful for our rad terrain here after getting a few days in the significantly flatter Front Range hills last week at SIA.



Coworker TGR bro Jon D rocking out Saturday. Nice to fall towards the ground a few times!

Grace Potter last night....holy shit....

[ThreeRidges]

Saw her two weeks ago. Amazing show.

Sounds like a shitty situation. Unfortunately, there are too many self-congratulatory attitudes up there these days. Thanks for educating folks, Salsa!

Grace Potter last night....holy shit....

ya the sound check was a blast too- She's dug this town ever since her sis was a server at the Brew Pub- about the same year Grace's first album came out...

I was in Jackson a month ago.
Can't stop thinking about the mountain.

[Core Shot]

Beta - 2 doctors from CA, and a nurse. No avi gear whatsoever; all borders. Didn't like the choke of the typical line of Wy Not (which is highly doable and c-thru to safety), so they falling leafed to skiers right over a very south facing ice cliff area and tumbled basically in the same area. One guys helmet was found in very small pieces around his fall, though he has a long road ahead of him seemed to have saved his life.

New line already named "Fung's Way"

i thought it was called "Sum Ting Wong" or "Ding Bang Oww"

[nyskirat]

Looks like a nice system is rolling in, just in time for my departure

[Tye 1on]

finally caught Sneaky Pete, at the Knotty. Those dudes are good. Just sayin'...

[skibrd]

So the village was a ton of fun today if you knew where to look! I hope everyone else had as much fun as our group did.

[Trace Hardslab]

Mid-winter thaw, eh?

Witnessed a roofalanche the other day that I initially rated an R5-D1. But after closer inspection of the debris, had to upgrade it to a D2. It would have devastated auto glass & rung yer bell at the very least had anyone been under it.

I thought it was supposed to be a January thaw? Plow slid into the power box down the road just now and knocked out power to our hood. Awesome.

[noparking]

Great day!

[skibrd]

Great day!

Second that. Got out around 10, next thing we realized it was 3:24 and we were getting on Union Pass. Booked it for last tram, but it was already 100 so we took it as a sign and called it a day
