The resort finally looks like a ski mountain and conditions are just unreal. Patrollers and locals alike have had more good powder days in a row than many of us can remember.

Tomorrow morning at sunrise we will be up on Pinecone Ridge. We plan to shoot the upper end (Pinecone Bowl to Two Goons) and have it open for you by mid-morning if all goes well.

This morning at 8:30 in Jackson Hole a veteran patroller, Mark Wolling was caught, buried, and injured in an avalanche while doing control work.

Our 24 hour total is 8 inches which the wind has pushed around into pillows a couple feet deep.

Jupiter Chair, Main Bowl, and the West Face will open tomorrow morning when the resort opens.

Lots of thing are happening here at the Resort, here's a quick summary as well as what's opening over the next few days.

On Friday evenings we, the patrol, gather at our local pub for some end of week decompression. As part of this "safety meeting" we have a tradition of presenting one patroller with the Bad Judgment Award, otherwise known as the Stick of Dumb.
