JH 24-25 POW TOWN STOKEZONE

[rideit]

I'll be chasing a storm up yer way this winter at some point, hoping to combine with an AltaBird visit as well. I'll make it point to ski with y'all, I often end up Solo Cholo.

.

You know what to do.

Had my head down last couple days, can't believe I missed this. Excellent work DJ. Looking forward to seeing some flakes flying around here

Most chill opening day in a long time at the Ghee.

I left home after nine and still was able to park close in.

Snow is alright.

Good fun and a nice start.

Scored 3rd Chair this am - the Grom decided late last night he really wanted to head up and try to get 1st chair. How could I say No.... we arrived just before 6 this am and we missed it by ~15 mins. Oh well - amazing turns were had and we had a blast. We squeezed in 4-5 great laps together before heading down to work and he's still up there as of right now. Love where you Live! Le Tits Now

The Grom agrees… skiing is Fun [emoji1690]

Past couple days have been fun at the Ghee

[new yabyum]

Indeed, this AM was light and delightsome.

[lindenle]

Pretty great, though thin, on the pass as well today.

Caught the Colter opener today! Man the was fun! That’s the early season day of skiing I needed. Solo chairs all morning

Going to be kicking around on the pass tomorrow if anyone is out and about

[Djongo Unchained]

3 improving mornings at the vill has made for a typical start. Nice to turn with old friends skiing fast already.

Double stoke to run into lindenle and DVZ today. We need to get him and Teleracer Ryan to the EuroGrumble.

CMartin - you still around here? I have something of yours...

Made it out late afternoon today. Felt good to be back on skis, albeit a bit scratchy. Gun zones where it was drifting back across the the trail were pretty nice.

Curious, when did the vill start doing snowmaking? It seems to me if they didn’t have that option in the cards, there’s no way they could have anything open right now. What’s the latest opening date you remember?

I'm 85 % certain snowmaking was first installed up lower gros ventre in summer of 90 or 91. Just got replaced a coupla years ago.

That first year, 1990 was bony to start so we drove skiers up the tram to the summit or to tower3. Downloading at T3 or ski down to the waiting pickup truck below where Teton lift base is now. It was a party in the back of that rig for that slow bumpy ride down.

Union pass was a ski run to the base until 1988, then a poma that would break, so they'd get ole Wes Kwieczin to drive the pickup truck full of skiers up that pitch. Then they installed the quad in 2000.


Also, bitd, when we opened the top early, it was often like the ghee is now. Deeper and softer. But gnarly dangerous.

Paging CMartin348...

Holla at me re: avy canister.

Jesus, man. The new marketing junkshow is really full of some BS. The rationales being tossed around for selling first tracks and various other JHMR jackassery are pretty tone deaf and plainly from the new marketing kid who doesn't know shit from Shinola about that mountain.

But over in the stokezone, I gotta say, going about 50 yesterday on the newish M6's was a blast.
And such a sweet finish sesh with lindenle and our bud. Thanks for loading, btw. Forgot to say that yesterday.

^I haven't been keeping up, but they're selling first tram or lift tickets for an extra fee?!

Oh yeah… it’s a whole curated experience. Flame
suits and all. At least their waffles will be well toasted. Fuckin’ waffle eaters!

[jackstraw]

JFC. Part of me would luv to see the whole ski corp world fail, but the deuchebags would be fine and all the normal employees would get fucked. This whole situation sucks and I'm not sure how it's sustainable.

Not life altering but it still sucks. Not having completely sold out, in 2025, is great. But these new guys may not give 2 fucks about the JH world, other than the bottom line. They're def bottom line kinda guys.

[muted reborn]

Snowbird has black passes and those guys get first tracks for an hour 8-9am on some days when it's safe, and they get to skip tram and lift lines all day, every day, and a private locker room, parking and more. That might not go over well in JH, ha, but it sounds like this is the start.

[Djongo Unchained]

@muted - how many? estimate here is between 50-100.

Which means even if the upper mountain isn't open yet, if they all go that way, there could be an almost full maze upon arrival of first public skiers at Thunder.
