    going to snow geek conference in jackson, need a place to stay

    We are attending the ISSW in Jackson Hole Wy in September, the conference is basiclly a bunch of international snow science geeks sharing their ideas on why the snow slides down mountain sides. We are going to check out some of the conference, ride some great Teton mountian trails and check out the beer you brew down there!!!

    The kicker is there will be around 10 of us and we are all cheap ski guides from Mike Wiegele Heli skiing who have already spent all of last years loot and need an affordable place to crash. We do have some money so we aren't begging for floor space here, we are hoping to find a condo or a house that will hold us up for the week. The dates are Sept 19 - 24 (ish).

    Any suggestions????

    Thanks Girl Guide (aka Mntlion's girlie)

    Hey Mang
    I'm heading down for that as well. Me, the Girl and another snow geek from our area will be scootin into town on Saturday the 18th, the day before ISSW starts. That happens to be the same day as the World Premier of TGR's new flick. Thats quite a coincidence isn't it. I think we will be staying in the village that night and then trying to camp for the rest of the stay. Hey would somebody be so kind as to recommend a camp spot for us. Any info would be much appreciated. Really looking forward to meeting you guys, should be a great time.

    I can just picture the lunch break.

    Looking at layers of sponge cake and poking and prodding to see any weaknesses.

    If all is good then and only then will it be eaten.

    A good place to camp close to teton village is Mosquito Creek. Its down fall creek road out of Willson (south right at the bottom of teton pass). you can drive up there and be pretty much left alone.

    there used to be a KOA on the village road if you are just looking for a place to pitch a tent (heh)

    Idea

    Just hang out at the Moose, and go home with the phatest girl you can find, That's what I'd do.

    I camped a whole summer at Mosquito Creek, oh the drums, hippies, and stinky feet. So pure and epic to wake up there and brush your teeth in the snake river.

    B,
    Send me a PM and I'll tell you where the CAIC crew found a fairly priced condo.
    Cheers,
