October 20 is the deadline to submit comment or attend the last public meeting regarding proposed sheep closures in the tetons. Areas proposed for closure include the west side of Cody peak and Jensen canyon. The document is available through the most recent news and guide article.

And while everyone is in a eMail riding mood. comments for the new Elk Refuge visitor center are due by the 20th as well and contact the city about the North Cache street plan which can be found here https://www.jacksonwy.gov/161/Engineering-Division

I sent emails about the sheep to both chip_jenkins@nps.gov and alyson.courtemanch@wyo.gov

Just wanted to grumble about having to make reservations again this year.

Ok, I'm done. Back to Djongo making a new thread.

LOL, just learned this too, and came to this thread to psych myself up. The curse of us Ikon out of towners!
Last year I couldn't get dates that I could make. I just might grab a week in Jan and figure out lodging as the clock ticks down...

[rideit]

You have lodging if you need it.

I think that if you have lodging in town the reservations are automatically available, but not certain on that.

Yes, from what I understand if you have a receipt/proof of airfare or lodging you can make reservations now. Otherwise, reserving reservations opens tomorrow.

[Kevo]

we should plan a maggot ski day over at the ghee this winter
they usually have better snow/ more open early on in the season so maybe then?

That would be great. I'm down for a ghee ski day.

Sure, as soon as i rent a U-haul all the cool kids come over to the bright side!

Wrong forum jong i know, but anyone interested in a couple old, faded, dirty whitewater boats? Perception Pirouette and Riot Ultralight Trixster.

Thanks. Can't figure out how to do this from the website...

Very goofy.

the "make a reservation" button is on my account screen. I just made mine.

edit: it's on the JHMR site now too: https://www.jacksonhole.com/ikon-pass.html

Yup. Up now. Nice.

thank you! I'll be in touch.

BOOM. reservations booked in Jan. Please commence snow dances and washing of your cars.
Last visit included some of the best skiing of my life. You all have a magic place up there.

Reserved for 3/14-3/18. Thanks for the update y'all!

Same. I thought we were past that? Oh well. I'll be out there Jan 10-16th with my brother (a long-time TGR lurker), LBSkier, and Hutash - the resident TGR vet - for a few days at the village and a few days touring GTNP. My hope is to link up with the TGR-famous DJongo as that's never yet lined up.

There will likely be a second trip out in February with some college buddies, and a third wild card.

Same, but didn't see a way to do so as my January trip has local lodging. So I made regular, peasant reservations.

late dec-early jan for me.

Reserved Feb 28-March 4 - though thinking I might shift it a week earlier.

[zpooch]

Any idea on how fast the reservations will fill up or the capacity limits? This system sucks if you live close enough to chase powder

Don’t do it. That’s prez weekend week.

How does the shifting or cancellation work?

I think icant ski passes can be cancelled 24 hours before. But I have no idea about jhmr policies.

[kokomas]

i wasn't sure "locals" like me were allowed on saturdays still, but after reading the fine print apparently a limited number of us still are. the saturday 5-6yo youth locals program at the resort sold out in less than 2 minutes today. parents lined up like they were trying to buy taylor swift tix. got us some.

highlights:
100% chairlift loading (masks required on tram only)
Mountain Collective now requires reservations too (think this is new)
Automated parking at all four lots (After hours will the gates be open or closed)
no bowl bootpack (did anyone find/use this last year?)

[Woolly the Mammoth]

Does anybody know if the Ranch Lot will still be free after 1pm?

Good call - seeing that now. The week of the 21st will be busy so I'll stick with the 28th - 4th.

[skimpls69]

I skied JH as my first ever mountain out west and my second time ever skiing. I did not deserve it lol

[Ski220]

They could set it up that way if they want.

Of concern to me is :
Will the ranch lot be free for 3 or more car pool ?
An automated gate will not know how many persons
are in your car.
If it is a fully automated payment system with a CC
or bill reader payment at exit, then my answer is NO.
And it’s back to the COVID bus to Stillson.
If the answer is somehow YES. Then it’s trolling for
passengers at the end of the day.
