Punting Pucker Face: Jackson Hole Skiing Pucker Face was completely unexpected on this day. We had just received a fair amount of snow and the wind had buffed everything out. I didn’t expect a blue bird day which ended up changing our plans. As we began our hike up the rocky ridge, my friend who works for Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Patrick Nelson, was hanging out at the beginning of the boot pack taking photos of random skiers. I stopped and talked with him for a minute and noticed no one had skied Pucker Face yet. Pucker has always been known to slide often and when it does, it is deadly. A super steep, rocky face that has taken lives in the past. I told Patrick I was going to assess it from the top. I got to […] Bryce Newcomb | January 22, 2015 6 Comments
Jackson gets it Again! Just when it looks like Jackson is getting out of the storm cycle they get it again. A week ago with a grim forecast it looked as if Jackson was going to get out of the weather flow that has been creating awesome conditions all winter. Then the blobs of moisture start to appear on the radar and get bigger and bigger, and where do they move to, Jackson of course. A warmer and dry start to the week was replaced by snow and made very excited skiers and snowboarders. Crusty, iced over, sun effected snow of early week became a glorious coat of a heavier dense snow over the weekend. The heavy wet snow was much needed to cover the havoc the sun and warm temps did to it. […] Conditions Report Cooper Kahlenberg | January 19, 2015 0 Comments
Fun in the Sun in Jackson! The past week started by ending a huge powder cycle that Jackson has been in the middle of. Overcast and snowy skies were replace by clear skies at higher elevation and a fog that lingered in the valley. The Sea of Dreams as it is known in these parts stayed with us most of the week with the exception of a few days where overcast skies prevailed. Snowfall over the last week was the lowest we have seen maybe since it started snowing for the season. That being said there is still some really good snow out there. Cold temps and small crowds have helped preserve the snowpack. North facing aspects are still holding very strong with minimal crust, and if you go looking for it there is still plenty of pow to be found on these aspects.

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. […] Conditions Report Cooper Kahlenberg | December 29, 2014 0 Comments
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.
