Hunts doing good. Did a lap with him and chatted a bit over the winter. He’s happy to be skiing again.

Anybody else listening to or howling at the moon all over town?
Very cool and random.

Every night at 8pm in Driggs. Very cool, not random.

Skiing in Cody bowl is gonna be epic on opening day of the summer tram.


The windlip/cornices look massive already.

Has anyone gotten any info on spring pass prices and timing, etc. ?

Just learned what it is all about, as you know, I live across from the hospital.

From the NY TImes today, JH a favorite place for the rich to try to hide from the coronavirus.

Some have brought their own medical equipment — even a ventilator, according to one local doctor.

Teton County is the richest county in the United States, with the highest per capita income US of $251,728, nearly $58,000 more than Manhattan, its closest competitor. The county’s 1 percent earned an average of $22.5 million a year in 2015. The county has the country’s widest disparity in income between the top 1 percent and the bottom 99.

Teton County has 57 confirmed cases of Covid-19, the highest number in the state after the much more populous Laramie County, with 62. But Teton County far and away leads Wyoming in the rate of cases, with 242.9 per 100,000 people.

Pete Muldoon, the mayor of Jackson, says people are wondering if the community’s health care resources “will instead go to someone who might only have a house here to avoid paying taxes.”

A pharmacist reported that he was processing a lot of prescription transfers from other states for three-month refills. And an employee for a company that provides services for the ultrawealthy (few people were willing to be quoted by name) told me that she estimated there are 30 percent more of those families around than usual at this time of year.

East face of Taylor was decent corn this morning. Better lower than the upper most parts.

Glad you're still getting out. You have full parking lots there?

Just noticed that Miazga’s is empty. Perhaps the first economic casualty of Covid?

They are in a weird spot back there. Can’t be easy to run a restaurant when it’s hidden like that.

Quite empty Sunday, but I heard the last little powder cycle it was mobbed.

This week should start to corn up. Skied Peaked on Saturday it was a mixed bag of breakable crust up high, short corn piece and then slush down towards the bottom.

And when nobody knows how to pronounce your restaurant's stupid name.

It will forever be the ‘Taco Bell Coulior’....

I'm ready for corn. As much as I love powder I need a good corn cycle or three to close out a season.

[Woolly the Mammoth]

Miazga's was open when I drove by today. I think they're just closed on Mondays.

[rideit]

Well that’s good. They were 100% dark, and there was a ‘for sale’ sign out front...

[CrystalMountainSkier]

No tram this summer.

"JHMR hopes to operate by mid-summer, but will open in accordance with guidelines of State Health Orders and the National Parks re-opening. The Bridger Gondola and Teewinot Bike Park will open along with various retail and restaurants. The Aerial Tram will not run for the summer 2020 season due to scheduled maintenance. All summer operations are subject to change."

Someone sent it right before the shutdown this year. Still the best poach in Jackson.

In other news, longest spring sale ever? Didn't that just start last year? And the mountain just jacked up the price of what an actual grand pass (as in you get the ikon) was last year by 200 bucks, then discounted it back down 200. So no discount basically at all. Oh you get an early up on the Gondi, which you need to register way ahead of time so are just gambling on pow turns. Woo hoo.

I must be getting old and crusty, because for the first time I'm actually kinda pissed off enough to not buy a full pass. Even for them, this just seems like a fuck you move.

Tram won't be running this summer. Haven't heard if gondy will, not sure why they wouldn't.

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, doesn’t seem worth it. When I toss in how much fun the sled was this winter, $1600 or whatever it is buys a lot of sled gas and oil.

At Least you can change your mind in the fall and only lose $45.
In case the covid vibe is bad

But it’s fucked up that after the October deadline, they basically say you’re fucked if the mountain doesn’t open. That’s harsh.
