The Teton Mountains seem to have made a New Yearโ€™s resolution to court Olโ€™ Man Winter more often. 

Several stretches of rhythmic snowfalls have followed the holiday, adding a healthy layer of crystal-cream powder to the flanks of Fredโ€™s, Maryโ€™s, and Peaked Mountains. Overnight weather systems have brought precip-laden clouds against the mountainsides and made for great morning skiing.

Wind-transported powder snow has collected especially among the groves of snow-coated trees along Blackfoot. The same came be said for the sheltered gullies that Cris-cross the Targhee ski area at large. And the repeated fronts have ripened the resortโ€™s steeper faces and cannonball cliff runs.

Quick dashes to Toilet Bowl (insert joke here) were rewarded with discovery of fresh powdered sugar atop a well-set base layer. The combo nicely coated that otherwise rocky section and made the point-it-to-exit treelines all the more enjoyable.

Itโ€™s been a great week of skiing with little to no crowding at Grand Targhee Resort. To say it simply: โ€œthe Vibeโ€ is good and gettinโ€™ better โ€™round here.
