Shoot, was hoping to catch you on the hill. Tomorrow is our last day. Days and nights have been a blur of chase soft snow, eat, drink, repeat.

Good God. "Quite the ride" is an understatement

That is a big cornice failure.
Yikes!

Quoted from article -
A visiting skier was just checking out the world on the backside of Mary's, booted to the summit, and did not know how consequential the backside of Mary's and Targhee in general is. The visitor was just trying to get a view over the backside, triggered a cornice failure, took a 100' ride over a cliff to a hanging snowfield, triggered a 40'+ wide slab, 2-3'+ deep, and went another 200' over another 30-60' cliff band where they thankfully arrested on top of the debris, as they did not have a beacon or helmet on.
Lucky to be alive.
Saw & heard the bird. Always wonder where & why it’s going.

Damn the stroke in here is high.
We bailed on the early Jan trip due to low snow. Figure out how to get the clan back together though so will be in the Village first weekend of March. Bummed to miss the mag parade last couple of weeks, but if anyone will be meeting at the fireplace let us know.
And keep the stoke going!
Ski ya…

This was the second cornice event I've been part of at Targhee that probably should resulted in a fatality but didn't. In both instances, the large chunks of cornice that the guest ride over the edge seem to take most of the impact. Around 2014 we had a guest take a ride off the backside. We brought a range finder out after and estimated that the guest freefell for around 275' and only reinjured an old back injury! Crazy to think a random skier from Australia has gone bigger that Jamie Pierre!
The picture is from the 2014(ish) incident.

It's good to be King.
Mother Nature pulled me from the rotation and benched me for the rest of the PNW mags visit.
I am crushed.
But the wine was sweet in the little time we had. I'm in tentative pre planning for a 24/25 Teton gathering. Hopefully my bros will come back soon.

Probably wants to make it private. But who knows, he might just be trying to curry favor with the locals.

He's gonna leverage that into some goodwill. Or so he thinks. Sublette county may be united enough to continue to push him off. Contrarily, he could maybe buy most of Sublette county.
And I love white pine but it's a money hole with little potential. Also, the locals will likely shun it.

that's his jam and he has unlimited money to do it. he donated a million to the new hospital too. Just checked the GIS and there's literally zero private land up there to make a resort.
although the dude is going trying to swap his renegade inholdings up the greys for more land around his place in the upper hoback. guy is going to run the county.

Sorry to hear you are dinged up Djongo. The injured list is not a fun place to be. I'll be on it for the rest of the season unfort

Some stars will have to align for me but Ima buy an Ikon + pass for next year in the event they do. Koko, can I claim a couch spot or maybe Goniff and I could rent your condo?

Didn’t spot any mags/friendlies today but holy crap nice little reset up high! Stepped off our chosen line due to a slab that we found. Went down maybe 30cm deep. Didn’t take much work to get it to release. Still skied our backup line!
Fkna @ACH getting after it.
