Opening Weekend At Jackson Hole – November 26-27, 2011 – The Teton Sessions Season 2 Episode 3

The past week has been one for the books at Jackson Hole. After an unusually slow start to the season, mother nature turned the hydrant on this week, dropping 55″ over a 5 day period, including 25″ in 24 hours. With 179″ of snow so far this season, a 83″ base (nearly double what it was a week ago) and more snow in the forecast, things are finally shaping up. Here’s a glimpse at the week that was… Skiing & Editing: Than Volk Music: Punching In A Dream – The Naked And Famous http://Point...

It’s no secret that the beginning of this year’s ski season has been less than spectacular both here in Jackson and across most of the country. The lack of snow outstanding, we’ve slowly accumulated a solid and are perfectly poised for the major weather pattern change taking effect later this week. One of the thing’s that’s amazed be most is the mountains resiliency with even the lightest refreshes. The following edit contains footage from two recent 6″ storms that provided amazingly good ski...

It’s been a slow couple of weeks here in Jackson, as we (and most of the country, for that matter) have been stuck in a high pressure cycle for some time now. This week, however, brought some relief in the form of 5″ of fresh between Tuesday and Thursday. While typically not something to write home about, the new snow coupled with an inversion layers made for some gorgeous mornings and some surprisingly good skiing Thursday and Friday on Teton Pass.

After an unbelievably gorgeous fall, winter finally kicked into gear this weekend. We’ve picked up as much as 20″ up high so far and there’s steady snow in the forecast through the end of the weekend. I decided to pull the trigger late last night and met up with some friends at Grand Targhee this morning. We skinned to the top of Dreamcatcher and made our way down Wild Willie. A strong wind had scoured most of the fresh snow on top, but the snow was light and got better and better as we made...
