JH 24-25 POW TOWN STOKEZONE

[Djongo Unchained]

Turns out this neck of the woods is a much better place to raise a toddler.

FKNA, excellent. Welcome home!

The'Ghee was light years better than yesterday, more runs to do, and chock full of creamy goodness.

after ‘variable’ conditions yesterday up off of Oliver/Stateline, the Pass delivered late afternoon today. Easily some of the deepest turns this season. #letitsnow

I concur. We only skied for a few hours to close and were pleasantly surprised.

Bring on the weekend…

dam good day at the village. I was in pow town. Haven't skied pow since last year so it felt good trying to navigate that.

Had first box. Good tracks down rendezous bowl. Not much open at the moment. Caught casper traverse rope drop and it was pretty dam deep in there.

So happy to be back in a good storm cycle and trying to find my legs. Feels like winter again.

Thanks again django for the liner save!

[lindenle]

This storm is pretty awesome.

Saturday is for the boys.

Here for the holidays and happy to hit during a snow storm, but got up for a few hours after driving from big sky this morning and confused to find most of the mountain closed off? Was just poking around stuff off Bridger gondola, Casper, Teton, and apres, and anything that looked fun was closed. What's going on???

[Djongo Unchained]

Ropes are for tourists.

Kidding...



I'm outta town so they're waiting for me to get home before they open anymore terrain until I can safety check it.

Safety meeting is first. Laughing is second, third we Charge. Then back to safety meeting.

I figured.. But I'm a cool tourist! I post on trg!

Maybe because below 8000 feet there are a lot of spots that have little snow beyond what has fallen in the last 48 hours? More low tide than it looks down low.

Very dangerous for someone who was just at the Really Big where most everything is open, low tide be damned.

You can take that to the bank. SG knows.

For real [emoji28] this place is magical though, so much to explore

[babybear]

when I first moved here from VT I was blown away that we could ski on any of the mountain with how rocky it is when you see it with no snow.

Is it a new Poma?

We got one too and nobody likes it.

It is. https://liftblog.com/sublette-jackson-hole-wy-2/


Don't understand why they went high back, I often did the arm over the chair thing for safety/comfort when the bar wasn't down. I pretty much always ask for bar down if I have a pack for this chair. Most people were pretty happy to oblige.

[Shredhead]

That sucks for you guys, because that's a chair you actually want to ride.

At Snowmass, the new Coney Glade chair is mostly to supplement the Village Express six pack out of the base.
The VX would get some big lines, so they would open at 8:30 instead of 9. It was nice to get three laps in before the rest of the lifts open.

But the corporate bean counters have now deemed the new chair a success. Starting 1/5 all lifts are back to 9am start.


Instructors are bitching the most, what else is new. They used to be able to get in a few laps before line up.

[Djongo Unchained]

The JH Ski Corp./JHMR have a decades long history of making any type of improvement with absolutely zero eye towards common sense functionality going forward.

See the Rendezvous bowl Platter in the 80's.
See the layout for skier walkup to the Bridger Ganjala or the first ski racks that there was a 50% chance your board would fall out in 10 mph winds.
See the many iterations of Nick Wilson's, none of which have been succesful.

I could pick 25 locals and turn that place into the greatest ski area in N. America in one season.
Sadly, after McCollister and Morley, the village has lacked any true vision.

Village angst is a lifelong malady for all skiing locals. Bet.

The new chair doesn't suck. It just could've been better. And a retrofit of seatbacks and extending the bar would almost remedy the new issues. A deeper seat would be ideal.

I'm not a fan of the cartoon guy. His stuff is usually lame and grasping for localness. Funny tho that he's tapped into a convo that's very real.

I didn't find the old Sublette scary. Even when it's howling.

Then again, I love that crazy weather.

Honestly in my nine season in JH I really didn’t have much to complain about as far as ski corp, goes. Sure not always spot on but if you spent your other seasons at Mt B and over where I am now you would truly see some piss poor ski area management.

[Djongo Unchained]

Fair enough and I could talk all day about what's stellar at the village. It's rarely the management.

And as I consider the Vill being head and shoulders above almost any other area, I try not to make comparisons to a lesser place as it's unfair to both.

The last 3 to 8 years have been way more fucked up than the prior 45+. Before that, we were magically lucky that we made it under the radar for so long.

I blame Forbes, IKon, Covid and some of the money generators hired since Mommy Mouse took over.

[jackattack]

Got a day in at the ghee with the wife and family. Nothing to complain about once we got parked. A foot of blower will cure whatever ails you.

Any recs for 5 early 30s folks trying to find a fun spot to ring in the new year in Jackson?

Have a bunch of friends going to the Moose for whatever show they’re hosting. That’ll be a banger for sure but we missed out on tickets and they weren’t cheap to begin with. If you can get a hold of some tickets that’d be a good time.

Torchlight parade at Snow King is kind of fun in a new experience, repeat every couple of years, maybe, type of thing.

Other than that I’m sure the Wort and Cowboy will have live music.

The Deadlocks show at the Virginian is worthy if you’re into that kind of thing (Grateful Dead coverband). Full disclosure my brother is in the band. But still, no doubt it’s a good time.
