Well, Jackson is skiing mid-spring, which just ain't right for 10,000 feet of mountain in the beginning of March, but what the hey - it's snow.
Chunky when frozen (or slick on the groomed when frozen) but softens up real nice when the snow warms up. Groomers have that spring moment when the surface is perfect, just before the skidders start piling it up in clumps. Wife wiped on a clump up in Rendezvous and bent up her glasses and broke her fan goggles(; my fault of course, although I know not how.) Snow's a little sparse here and there, and the off piste is as much about dodging rocks as laying tracks, but still enough to enjoy top to bottom. Most everything is moguled up due to lack of recent refreshment dumps. Only a regular (or someone who has stumbled into some great days like I've done in the past) would really know that the Hole has seen some better days, and would be quite satisfied with conditions, which really are very decent.
Notes: Just cause I'm greying up a trifle the ticket folks gave me oldfogyrates, which saved a bundle. All I have to do now is avoid skiing oldfogylines.
As I said earlier - they're giving away motel rooms - it's time to visit if you're less than nouveau riche.
Going to spend another day in Jackson, then likely head for Utah. Unless we don't. No point in overly planning this.
