Jackson was quite warm and dry until the week of Thanksgiving, which made for easy driving and at least half-decent biking long past the date when the Tetons normally enter their 'Winter Wonderland' phase. However, in a classic turn of events, a storm hit right as Thanksgiving travel got into swing, screwing up countless flights and road trips. At higher elevations, the storm dropped a couple feet of snow onto a shallow, heavily-faceted layer, resulting in some seriously unstable avalanche conditions.

That wasn't enough to stop Jackson's powder-deprived shredders from heading up Teton Pass in search of the season's first face shots, though, which predictably led to several skier/rider-triggered slides in the area. Three slides were triggered in the Thanksgiving Bowl/Christmas Tree Bowl area, and two were triggered in the Mt. Elly area.

Whistler's Horstman T-Bar, which over the course of its 33-year lifespan provided access to some of North America's finest summertime skiing, has been removed. Since its installation in 1987, the rope tow hauled everyone from professional racers and freestylers to amateur shredders up the Horstman Glacier, but those days are over.

For those unaware, Nolan's 14 is an ultrarun in Colorado, traversing 14 14ers in the Sawatch Range. While there is no firmly established route, previously completed runs gain about 44,000 feet of elevation over around 100 miles, with about half of the route being off-trail.
