Report from March 8th, 2019

I woke up early and got on the road late today.

Park City, UT to Jackson Hole, WY.

4.5-hour drive and got on the lift at about 1:30pm.

Jackson Hole reported 5″ of new snow this morning.

Jackson Hole has seen 478″ of snow already this season.

The Jackson Hole backcountry was stellar today.

Deep, consistent, predictable, surfy snow.

It sprayed all over everywhere and I hooted continually in response.

We just did one big ole run and it was well worth it.

This place is filled in and firing right now.

Jackson Hole could see up to 12″ of snow tonight.

* WHAT...Snow, moderate to heavy at times. Total snow accumulations by 
sunrise Saturday will range from 2 to 4 inches from Pinedale to Bondurant. 
Mountain areas can expect snowfall to range from 5 to 10 inches. The Teton 
Range will likely see the heaviest snow of around one foot. Up to 5 inches 
have accumulated so far in the Tetons. Ridgetop winds could gust 20 to 
30 mph. - NOAA Riverton, WY 3/8/19

This weekend should be great.
