DEEPcember in JACKSON HOLE! The snow at Jackson Hole has been absolutely ridiculous!! 66” of snow has fallen since December 14th. Only one day during that period did not have measurable snow!! Saturday the 28th was the deepest day of the season, so far, and possibly being the deepest day in years! Snow! There is a lot of it, during this period we have seen varying densities of snow, starting out heavy and turning very light with colder temps. The heavier, higher moisture content snow that fell the previous week laid down an incredible base for the lighter density snow that has fallen over the past few days.

JACKSON HOLE = EPIC POW Jackson Hole is having an epic season, and it just started! With multiple feet of snow over the last week on top on an already deep base, locals and visitors alike basked in the best snow Jackson has seen so far this season! Early last week conditions in the resort were interesting. Lack of snow and warm temps played there role in creating a mixed bag of conditions around all elevations and aspects.

Jackson Hole is Holding Strong! Jackson Hole is holding steady with a deep early season base after a short warm up. It may have only snowed 7 inches in the last week, but short lines at any lift and low temps in the alpine have kept resort skiing incredibly well with those willing to hike for it finding deep snow!! After an incredible start in western Wyoming the snow machine started to slow this past week bringing warmer temps and less precipitation. Conditions in the resort area were contrasting greatly from top to bottom. Lower elevations generally being affected by warm temps and melt freeze action. At upper elevation temps stayed cooler and anything not hit by the sun stayed riding fantastic! Other […] Conditions Report Cooper Kahlenberg | December 15, 2014 0 Comments

Wyoming Surf & Culture Report: A Legit River Wave In a canyon tucked away a little south of the resort town Jackson Hole you can find a surf spot, known as a Lunch Counter Rapid. This rapid creates a glassy wave that is surfable at certain river levels, usually in between low and higher flows. In it’s prime season it is an easy walk to the river edge where you can see kayakers and surfers taking turns riding this natural phenomenon. The wave forms when a combination of runoff water from the snow pack, and releases from Jackson Lake bring the river to the range of 8,000cfs to 12,000cfs. Anything higher […] Surf Cooper Kahlenberg | August 5, 2014 2 Comments
