    Jackson TR 1/29-2/4 with pics...

    So I decided since I had a couple days off from school I would go out and visit skijunky and snowrider out in jackson despite the lack of snow out there... First day we hit up teton pass and skied unskiabowl which had some decent snow on north facing slopes which quickly turned into sunbaked crust

    Hit up the resort the next day on groomers and the park a bit and had difficulty not fucking up my skis in the woods, found some decent snow in alta chutes, but the depth just wasn't there. really frustrating looking up at all the cliffs/different lines and seeing so much potential but not being able to ski it, I'll definitely have to go back next year when hopefully there is some more snow. So here are some scenic shots, I got some good video that I'll have to post in the near future i just need to edit it... Enjoy...

    Cody peak, with no shadows, four shadows, and pucker face... it was windy gusts up to 60mph

    another shot of Cody



    Shot of Glory Bowl, Little Tucks, and Unskiabowl after the first day...



    Friday was cold with up to -45 deg F wind chill



    Corbet's was closed but still had to get a pic of it...



    The backcountry






    Thanks to skijunky and snowrider for letting me crash on their couch for a week and showing me a good time, I'll be out again next year if you guys are still living the dream...

    Nice pics. A group of my friends and I skied there friday and saturday. Saturday ended up being a pretty decent day after about 3 inches of new snow. Friday was friggin cold, though.

    nice photos! i haven't been to the village yet this year, and it amazes me to see the difference between last year and this year. lines like central on cody don't even look skiiable.

    Cody is the line that Romer (or someone else) ski-based in Anomaly, right? If it is, then damn- it needs a lot more snow compared to that segment.
