Report from March 14, 2026

The storm hit today at 10 am.

I slept in, stretched, ate a big breakfast, and ran out the door around noon, hoping enough time had gone by for the new snow to fill things in a bit.

I went straight to the tram and rocked and rolled up to the top in a raging wind.

Rendezvous Bowl was icy and windswept in its uppers but softer and more forgiving halfway down.

I popped out of bounds, did a couple of hikes, and clicked my skis on in a face-gouging wind.

When I got to my drop-in, there were a few inches of snow and a foot of wind.

I skied an open slope that was wind-prone and found mostly scratchy old snow just beneath 0–4″ of new snow.

Rutted ice, smooth ice, mini wind slabs, and some very nice wind-buff snow in spots.

Mostly, the snow was very loud, but there were about 20 muffled, quiet turns.

I felt completely lost upon extraction as the low snow levels down low made the landscape unrecognizable at times.

Regardless, I smoothly and easily glided back to the ski resort and called it a day, hoping for more snow this evening.

As of this writing at 5:36 pm MT, it appears to have stopped snowing at JHMR, but the wind is whipping.

The Jackson Hole Summit weather station is showing 43 mph winds with 71 mph gusts as of 5:00 pm (the latest reading) today.

Local radar confirms that the main band of moisture is just to our north in Yellowstone.

Fingers crossed it bends back down south to the Tetons this evening.

I had high hopes for a Cody day tomorrow, but it’s hard to believe any snow will be left up there at all with this wind, ha!

Either way, I’m going to go up there early and have a look.

I love this place.

Thanks, Wyoming!
