The Snow Has Landed


Yes!!!!!! The Motherload has finally landed here in Jackson. We got the storm everyone has been wanting/needing all winter long. It's weird how ski towns mental health normally goes hand and hand with the snow conditions. Everyone has been pretty bummed so far this year, but after today, the whole valley will be euphoric! We got close to 4 feet this week, and 17" last night. 17" in Jackson accumulates different than anywhere else I have seen in the ski world. It doesn't compact at all so it seems deeper than the inch total would indicate.


It was literally shoulder deep in places!


Living the viva loca in the white room.


After hitting up a powder run, you would have to clean off the goggles from all the snow!


Is there a snowmobile under there somewhere?


My high school bud Adam Grace is in town for the weekend. He comes into the valley every year now and manages to bring the noise and the snow every time he visits. Gettin' some on only his second day on a sled!


Adam charging.


I guess this was so cool I added it twice?


The conditions were tough for someone just learning to sled, but Adam, true to his soldier roots hung hard.
