Here we Go! Party in the Hole!

Almost 5' in the past week! We are skiing now!

I have to admit the start to this season has been brutal on gear and minds, but boy how it can quickly turn around in the Northern Rockies. The onslaught of moisture last week in California brought a generous storm cycle to the Tetons and Western Wyoming, eventually dumping nearly 5' over 6 days... before, every skier in the area was slightly depressed as we watched our season slip by without any good moisture. Now, attitudes are gleaming and hoots and shouts echo throughout the glades and open bowls.

As a local guide and angler, I feel, at least for now, somewhat relieved that we are getting good snow that is building a great snowpack. See you out on the slopes soon!
