Jackson Hole Conditions Report January 5th, 2018: A Change is Gonna Come…

Cloudy today, with the sun poking out at times. Sticking to the trees or taking advantage of patches of sun was smart, as the light could be fairly flat otherwise. Views were still on point (see above). On the first couple of runs of the day, there was ~1″ of loose snow on top of everything. It must have been windblown? […]

Meet Tater, Jackson Hole’s Newest Ski Patrol Member

Jackson Hole has a new puppy in training for the Jackson Hole Ski Patrol. Tater, an 8-week-old Golden Retriever, showed up in Jackson two days ago. His full name is Sir Tater Tot of the Tetons. An avalanche dog can search one hectare (2.5 acres) in about 30 minutes. It would take 20 humans around 4 hours to cover an equivalent area using avalanche probes. The speed with which an “avy dog” locates an avalanche victim is absolutely vital. Around 90% of avalanche victims will survive if recovered in the first 15 minutes after burial […]
