Straight off the plane.
I hope you guys at least had the free mimosas at the airport.

Absolutely...why don’t they do this at all airports? @Gary Stolt could have used some on his multiple departure attempts.

@ChunderBlunder and I got into Jackson about 2:00. Took some skis to the Nomad ski shop there at the base, got our MCP passes taken care of, and had a beer under the tram. We too were wandering around in jeans. We'll be up there first thing this morning. We'll try to make Caspers at 11.
I think we still call that "happy hour," right? RIGHT?!
I believe it's age dependent.
Shit.
A couple shots from Jackson Hole so far...... Jackson Hole has been an enjoyable place for us. This is our second visit.

For me, one of the most appealing things about Jackson Hole (besides the cheap accommodation in Jackson) is the variety at J.H. There is something for everyone and every ability level.
I've been spending all morning going over weather reports and road conditions. Our plan was to ski all day at Jackson today, stay the night, drive through the pass early in the morning and ski Grand Targhee until 1-2 pm and then get on the road for Big Sky. With 1-2 feet of snow possible between now and Sunday we may have to change our plans and get through the Teton pass this afternoon. I know from experience here that when they say that much snow is coming that what they forecast for JH and what happens in that pass are two entirely different things. We've seen avalanche mitigation shut it down and only 4" had been forecast for JH, but a couple feet fell in the pass. We were able to get through a few hours later with chains. Having to drive around Yellowstone to the east to get to Big Sky is just not something I want to have to do.

Is it glued there or something?@PisteOff - I have your leftovers from Bubba's. It survived a ride to DQ, back to Motel 6, to the gym this morning. I only noticed it this morning after I switched parking spots.
Too funny!
My kid is an airhead..... That's too funny. Good to see you again Matt. We're at the room after a few runs at Jackson. We're packing it up and heading over the pass. We'll be skiing Targhee in the morning. Should be a great powder day. We'll catch up with you in Big Sky tomorrow evening. Feel free to enjoy the BBQ!!@PisteOff - I have your leftovers from Bubba's.

Jackson Hole was great on Friday Saturday OTOH wasn't great -probably a mistake to ski.. Fog,some wind on top half
and light snow . Just enough snow (0-1') to hide moguls and obstacles.
JH now reports 10" Sat night.

Sounds like a good problem to have. Enjoy.
