Didn't bother with the weekend crowds so decided to head up yesterday for a day trip. My oldest and youngest son came along. Wow what a great day. Skied all of the natural terrain we could and it was all awesome. Trees check, Bumps check. Packed powder cruisers check. Have not seen naturals like Royal Flush so well covered in some time. It is high tide right now. You can actually see it in the pics.




And it snowed all day as well. A long (3.5 each way) day trip but totally worth it. It was nice to see my sons both wiped out after a long ski day.

Looks like we were hacked..

Taos last week. 10” while there. We got the same storm NE got over the weekend. Steeps are crazy good. First 2 pics are hike to terrain, Highline Ridge. Last pic is Katchina Peak. It hadn’t been opened all week so depth more than the 10” we got.

i always want to try taos but i plan far in advance and i feel like its such a dice roll on conditions. looks great.

Travel issues prevented us from getting a couple hours at Snow King yesterday. However we got up for first tram and headed straight for Corbet’s which filled in very nicely from the little bit of snow that fell last night.


From there we ventured all around the mountain…Tower 3, Alta Chutes, Saratoga Bowl, and others. All skiing very well. Great first impression of Jackson with more snow coming tonight!

The latest ticket haul. All new places for me! Will try to post some pics next week. Love those smaller off the beaten path places.

Would love to hear more, especially on Terry Peak. That place has always fascinated me for some reason.

 

[ThatGuy]

Interested in Terry Peak as well. South Dakota is a beautiful state.

 

[NYDB]

the google earth makes it look like Terry peak is located in between strip mines and tailing ponds?

 

[jaytrem]

Loved Terry! Will post about it later, driving to VT in about 5 min. Fascinating to watch them rebuild the mountain across the way while they dig out more gold.

Wow, I didn't know there were still places that use actual wickets!

 

[Edd]

Wow, I didn't know there were still places that use actual wickets!

I've used them at Black in NH and Beaver Mountain in Utah this year.

 

[urungus]

Magic still uses traditional wickets, and Bromley has paper tickets with a plastic loop. https://www.skiinghistory.org/news/sticky-wicket-origin-ticket-wicket

Kinsman skied great. Amazon and wicked haahd. That one glade on Mitt. Good stuff today! Not crowded whatsoever. Not sure if they even sold out

About a foot of fresh snow fell overnight and through the day. Needless to say skiing was epic even with Sublette and Tram down for high winds.

32. Mar 11, 2023 Snow King
Chose Snow King today to avoid the potential crowds at JH and to get an Indy day in. The upper mountain was left ungroomed leaving plenty of leftover snow from the previous days storm. Very surprised at how steep this mountain actually is.

hey all, since this has turned into a picture stoke thread (which is great) in order to keep it readable can people format like post 306, 301 if you have a 40 line list of prior ski days? I'm enjoying this thread but it's going to get unreadable here very shortly.
