If you live in a ski town like Jackson Hole, nothing could be as exciting as having a bunch of Olympic skiers come to your home hill for training just a few days before the 2010 Vancouver games. Word around town is that the ladies have arrived and will be taking to Snow King to practice and show all Jacksonites and visitors, alike that they are ready for some gold, silver and bronze. Come out and show your support and witness death-defying speeds as the ladies of U.S. National Women’s Ski Team crush Snow King!
Happy Weekend! Here’s hoping it is a snowy and shreddy one.
Lots happening around Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in the way of Backcountry Camps and Steep & Deep Camps and don’t forget the Coney Classic is next weekend!
Here’s something to plan ahead for: word is that (perhaps starting tomorrow), the US Women’s Ski Team Pre-Olympic Training is going to go down at Snow King this week. Tentative dates are (2/6-2/14). So get ready for the speedfest and make sure to head over and watch Lindsey Vonn and the ladies drop the hammer!
Once again, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and KGB Productions are showering us with some ski candy. Another big dump hit Jackson Hole Sunday and into Monday and Tuesday-20 inches in the last 72 hours in fact. Might be time for a trip to powder town folks!
Based on the data from this graph, it’s a good time to be in Jackson Hole. 18 inches of new snow in the last 24 hours (12″ of which fell since the lifts closed) officially launches Jackson Hole into a complete winter wonderland. Check out Jackson Hole Mountain Resorts snow report and keep your eyes on the radar. There’s more on the way!
Let the weekend go to the dogs! On the town square that is. Tonight, Friday night, the 2010 International Pedigree Stage Stop Dog Sled Race commences on the Jackson Hole Town Square at 6:30 pm. The week-long, 345 mile race passes through 11 Wyoming towns and ends in Park City, UT. We are lucky enough to get the party started right here in Jackson as teams of pups run through the town square. The exciting event, said to be the largest sled dog race in the lower 48, promises a festive night in the valley and is the best way to kick off another awesome weekend in Jackson Hole.
The myth, the mystery, the mayhem. Find out what it’s all about every Thursday as we patrol YouTube for the gnarliest Corbet’s Couloir footage. Some say, it’s the ultimate test at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Live Well says if you want to in fact be well-stay out till you’re pretty sure you can stick it. In the meantime, watch from the sidelines or, if you prefer, your monitor.
This week we will spare you the gaper footage we’ve provided in past posts in favor of some butt kicking clips of locals dropping in. Footage provided by Strom Show Studios for Jackson Hole Mountain Resort from our 600″ winter here in Teton Village.
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is cranking and after a long day on the hill, you’ve got somewhere to be by 4 pm every day when the lifts close. Here’s a list of daily options for how to pass the Apres hours.
