Jackson Hole, WY, Report: The Notorious “Pucker Face”

Report from February 9, 2023

The Notorious “Pucker Face” at Yesterday was a wild ride as per usual.

No matter what, I’m scared on top of this thing.

We lost our good buddy Mike on this face back in 2013, and we always think of him and talk to him before dropping this line.

Once I gathered the courage to drop, I found stiff, deep snow and great turns right down the little air at the bottom.

From there, we found another big open face that held some of the best snow we’ve skied all season.

Big, open, high-speed turns!

Another hike leads us to a rolling, powdery, obnoxiously fun zone that might have been the very best snow of the season for me.

Then I hucked a cliff and crashed in deep snow, and it was pretty funny.

Yesterday was a special day with an all-star crew.

Thanks, Andrew, Owen, Fox, & Nate!
