JACKSON '21-'22 ~~ w/the 'Ghee, the King, The KC, the Creek and the Passes

[upallnight]

Seven years ago I bought the DVD from this website: https://cargocollective.com/billheath/Sinners-1 I know it looks sketchy and like it won't work, but 7 years ago, it looked the same, and about a week later a DVD showed up at my house. Just ordered another copy since an ex-roomate scratched the crap out of my old one. Truly the best ski movie ever made.

Thanks! I can't recall exactly but that site looks familiar. I feel like I bought the DVD directly from him — vaguely remember it was a Canadian site and he is Canadian/was living in Canada.

Do I want to spend ~$29 on it? Hmm...

Realized the price was in loonies..... ordered.

We've got a furnished 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom Sage Hen condo with 1 car garage in Victor that we are thinking about renting seasonally/annually. How much is fair to charge? Anyone know good people looking for a place to live?

I just left a 3bed/2.5 bath 2 car garage condo in Driggs. Locals/long term/workforce rate was $1800.

Like 25,000 a month. Help out the locals you know..

Rent is crazy for sure. We are trying to help locals (I was a poor, struggling Jackson local myself for most of the 1980's) while also making a bit of money on our investment. We bought the condo for our own ski trips (we live elsewhere in WY) and help pay for it with short term rentals when we aren't using it. But with housing so tight over there it seems more responsible to rent to locals and we can get a hotel when we ski over there. I've seen a similar condo advertised at $2800/month, which seems crazy high to me.

I'm sure you'll give a solid deal to someone. Sounds crazy down there. Same thing in Bozeman. And many other places.

I'm reading the billionaire wilderness now. All about Jackson mainly. Insane.

In the last 15/20 yrs, the amount of trusts and foundations has skyrocketed.

Here's the rub. The affordable housing trust etc has gone up, a few hundred thousand.

The fucking art and land conservation (billionaires preserving land in perpetuity for tax reasons) has gone up by BILLIONS from almost nothing.

They could give 2 fucks about anyone normal class. The Mexicans that serve them live 3 families to a trailer while they don't even live in their 30M$ palace.

As a ski MTN, Jackson is as legit as it gets. Kinda seems like the town is the YC without gates.

Sweet shot right there

ps great pics uan

thank you!

in case anyone was wondering whether a bear $h!ts in the woods:

[Core Shot]

That’s not the woods.

Question resolved.

Anyone ever see an old ski film called "Sinners" by Bill Heath?

I saw it ~20 years ago at the Banff Film Fest and had a DVD copy that got lost somewhere along the way.

It was short — and also captured a real vibe of skiing pow/with friends.

Here's a trailer.

Wish I could find it!

I think I might still have my copy

It was a forum favorite when it came out

Any recommendations for a good shoulder surgeon in Jackson or even Idaho Falls?

I have evidence that proves otherwise.

I like Raphael Williams.
I’ve only seen him for minor injuries so I haven’t done a surgery with him but he has done more with my husband’s injuries and seems good and a nice guy too

[Skeeze]

I saw Raphael when I shattered my wrist in Jackson a few years ago. He didn’t do any surgery for me, but was a great guy, had a bunch of signed ski posters on his office wall from pros he’d fixed up, and told me I could ski the next day as long as I didn’t fall.

Thanks babybear and Skeeze. I made an appointment with Raphael. I need a plate and some screws to hold my acromion (end of the scapula) together. Hopefully he's good to do it.

[rideit]

Williams did my shoulder last December. Good dude.

WMD - Holla when you're in town. Let's connect for a brew or some eats. Been a few years now, time to visit the JH mags.

Well, shit. Looks like Nora’s is done on 10/15.

I’m gonna eat huevos around 6:30am a few x before they close if any of you want to raise a coffee. Happy for the family . Good memories. I used to sit at that breakfast bar 2-3 times a week, drink bad coffee and have huevos. The many conversations I had there with several well known, opinionated characters will always stick in my mind. I probably learned more about this valley there than I care to know.

[rideit]

I’m in, but honestly probably not at 6:30.

[Djongo Unchained]

Togwotee pass this morning...

right on time.

Give me a ring or text if you want to go. My schedule is fairly early weekdays so I’m a bit limited on time. Weekends
I can roll later

nice. should be time for the new thread soon. although next week looks to sunny and warm again.
I think my earliest powder day ever was on Teton Pass October 1st….probably of the year 2004 or so.

Great to see Tye pop in hope you are well and miss seeing you at the winder and coach!

Re: nora’s - I haven’t been there in a couple years but does that one waitress still work there that would wear the tshirt that said “don’t make me summon the flying monkeys”

[schwerty]

Tye - hop a plane and let’s eat. Catch up soon.

Tog is looking good!

I’ll be at Nora’s early 2-3x this week overeating green salsa.

Nice to see some snow on the peaks! Saturday Oct 15, the Koko's would like to host you for a fire and asado offering to Ullr. At our house just up the street from the Aspens. Fire starts at 4pm, meat starts when the coals are ready. All mags welcome, SO's close to required, kids welcome too though after dark all bets off.

Bring meat, veggies or anything else you want to cook on open coals. We'll put up some elk sirloin, some beer and whisky and see what else we can conjure up from EC Ullr Fests past.

Give a holler here if you can come and what you can offer up. Pm me for addy.
