Today was among the better days of Spring... thus far at least.
We m\mourned the death of Jesus by skiing powder.

Snow still stacking — winter conditions this morning + afternoon.

Judging by how short the tram line is right now, I might have been overly optimistic, ha.
Best turns today are gunna be at closing bell. Seems like the storm is arriving a bit late. Was nuking in Victor about an hour ago, it will make it over here at some point. Temp gradient favoring Thunder and up.Quote:

^^^my legs only lasted until 2ish, but yeah, kept getting better. Some fun turns today and least amount of people at the resort I have ever seen. Definitely some firm spots, but overall pretty good day. Tomorrow should be interesting.
March 31st but felt like January 31st. Not touching bottom:

Nice UAN - way to keep it rolling. Hate for it to end.
Targhee announced pricing for 2024/2025- now $1069 for an adult pass if you buy before the end of April.

To all who live on either side of the Tetons, pick up a copy of the free Jackson Hole Daily, their Aprils Fool edition with the baby doing Corbet's Couloir is well worth the time. PS The 'Ghee skied quit well this AM.
Sweet shot. It isn’t often there’s an airborne subject in your photos, definitely says something about the conditions. Not that this little storm put that particularly drop in play, but it did for several inbounds hits I’ve been eyeing for a few years. Jumped off more stuff today that the past few years combined. Felt good.Quote:

It certainly skied wonderfully slushy w walk on trams.
Injured skier was in the cliffy zone lookers left of the main No Name powder field, patroller showed me a photo on his phone of the line, zoomed in and blurry, did not have my readers either! Looked like he went over two cliff bands. (unverified 37 year old male)
Ski Host said was TGR shoot (unverified).
Got home and walked dog down to Bud's to get a bottle of wine, 4 helicopters in 40 minutes at St. Johns, may have been training or a couple of air ambulances out of order for the patient transfers staged on the ground.
Did also see some skid like folks in ski gear outside the hospital as well, so hoping for the best.
Loud afternoon in East Jackson.

Doesn't sound like it hit the road, but yikes! Hope you don't lose access to that zone because some dumb fucks think it's "stable enough"
Holy fuck it’s rough out there. Bowl and really anything off piste is ski-to-not-get-injured type shit. Gunna be a lot of people bailing to drink early before R fest. Skiing might not be the most dangerous thing out there today

Am I being too optimistic or reading too much into the way they are doing JHMR pass sales this year as a sign that new ownership “gets it” at least for now?

Waaaay too optimistic.
Locals were plainly getting screwed in the last coupla years, so this is a stopgap to the problem.
Last year we got a 10% discount for buying the year before. That's gone. Not that I expected it but most steps in the right direction are only short term then disappear.
Like a payment plan between May and December, that lasted maybe one season. Now all up front.
And the $150 down payment until November? One and done.
For decades we had all summer to earn for the August sale date. No more...
I wish the new deal was:
A. show up in person to get the spring price.
B. show a valid WY driver's license.
C. 1% off for each season pass from years prior that you can show the pass salesperson.
D. Parking passes for full pass buyers would be discounted as well.
I guess a pause in the beatings feels like generosity!
Could your option D ever happen given the Cold War between JHMR and TVA?

That's pretty damn funny and not wrong.Quote:

The best thing they could do is get a vision that doesn't focus on getting as many fucking waffle eaters to the hill.
And cut loose about 75% of the mgmnt.
Local good will is vastly underrated by the bean counters.
Some people never go back to destination resorts due to bad experiences with locals.
Or at least take 30 years to try again.
And it took 2 tries to be worthwhile, yes?Quote:

A little bit of good will goes a long, long way.
That's what a lot of wealthy people don't understand.
Good snow does too.
