~ ~ SKI THE BIG ONE ~ ~ JACKSON HOLE '20-'21

[wstdeep]

Snow has really settled and stabilized, brush that was buried ten days ago is now sticking up 4 feet. Shaded slopes are offering a w mix of windblown new and surface faceting (classic loud powder) that is skiing nicely and now the menu is featuring tight rocky places that you wouldn't dare touch a few weeks ago due to the risk of a slide taking you thru the cheese grater. The menu is always changing...it's the same place with different offerings.

Conditions were Prime Rib and Cheesecake for weeks. Now it's more like Shepherd's pie and Pop tarts.

Yep, just nibbling on snacks waiting for the next big meal.

Goddammit. Now I'm hungry for shepherd's pie.

Skied some slow laps with mag lindenle today. We were in Granny gear. Low viz for some dust on crust with a slight case of green goggles to start made for a short day.
Better up there this evening...

Sweet photo

Are you night creature tonight?
That’s on my bucket list.

[Djongo Unchained]

Nope that's a snapshot from the jhmr webcam site. click on roundshot for the summit. Play with the stuff on the right. It's pretty amazing. Try the open book thing where you can combine a shot from now vs any prior one.

Been a long time since I was a night creature. But probably 50+ nights. And I was 25 yrs. old driving the box.
Lotsa wasted nights at the summit. Drinking, smoking, tripping, fireworks, sunsets over Spudrovia, golf balls into Tensleep, midnight on the deck under a gazillion stars in a bag w/ a redheaded gal, gale force winds en route to the shitters under the tramdock, dancing in the tram; and breaking the box's north doors at the Saturday night Riot before closing 1992, dosed and banging around to the Surfers...

I don't know why DJ was hating on Shepherds Pie, must have gotten attacked by one (gastronomicaly) once.

Low tide for sure but Low avi danger means teeing up some spicy lines so it all works out. Low line count is nice but understandable.

This is about the time of year when you start to realize that like every ski season things will eventually come to an end. I start to think about lines I want to ski and people I have not gotten out enough with this year. There is still lots of time left but in truth there never really is enough time in a ski season for junkies like us. Jam in as much as you can now because there will be a day in Sept that you will wish that you could have bottled one of this seasons days...so you could pull the cork and take a sip.

On further reflection it is also the time of year that google lenses that a person wouldn't even put in rotation in December are now your daily drivers.

Heh, so true. I left the same lens in from December until last weekend.

Still not sure how to embed a video, though here's another little dreamy (to me, at least) one I made.

Sounds like Utah about to get buried while we watch it sail by to the south. Enjoy.

[beer30]

Any half pricers out there for use on closing week?

I'm not seeing that in the forecast? You talking front range CO?

[cydwhit]

Was surprised at how good conditions were on the spud side yesterday. Good luck to anybody getting after it on big lines today, north facing could be great!

FYI for the Teton Valley (and probably Jackson also) mags looking to get vaccinated. Call up Walmart in IF and you they'll sign you up, anyone that wants one. Johnson and Johnson 1 shotter.
