    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.

            Nice DIO av... I wore that cassette the fuck out in the ole 280z.
            Likewise my friend. Especially in the Mecca. Top layer of my ski bucket list.

            Stargazer came on the radio the other day and I got inspired. Hope you’re on the mend.

                  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.

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.

                        Those are some wild stories. Props to Taghee patrol for responding out of bounds and saving both people.

                            Today was unexpectedly awesome. I expected to go on a tour to a lesser-traveled N-facing oasis. Viz near zero at 10k+ shut that plan down, but when life gives you lemons you ski untracked pow instead.

                                Ski Butler sucks in general, but the worst ski Butler experience I have ever heard of occurred today in Jackson. I’m sitting at bin 22 with my buddies one of whom was a good skier 20 years ago but who has probably not skied in five years did business with ski Butler. he staying at hotel Jackson and he’s probably spending a $1000/night. . The concierge recommended ski Butler. The last time I skied with him he was decent. He is 6’2” 225 pounds. He had an appointment with ski Butler concierge service where they would meet him at his hotel at 6 o’clock and fit him with skis, boots bindings poles, etc. He left the bar/restaurant to meet ski Butler at 6 PM. They right never showed up. When he returns to the bar we contacted Skibutler.. They said that they were running late and they were going to fit him with Rossignol Experience 76 175-ish underfoot. I asaid that was ridiculous and told him that he would need at least something between 85 and 90 underfoot and 182, 185 in length. We ask them to drop them off and I would set the dins on the bindings. They later texted and said they have nothing in that length or that width became belligerent and asked whether he wanted to cancel his contract. In the meantime, I want to ski with him in the morning tomorrow. What the fuck is wrong with this company? Very disappointing.
