Jackson Hole - 3/5

Helles Belles put on a great show last night. We still made the opening gondola this morning in spite of being old and partying like rock stars.

The 3 inches of new snow last night put Jackson Hole over 500 inches for the year. Amazing. The new snow really helped the snow quality in places, especially where it blew in and made 6 inches. All the groomers were still just firm groomers. It was another relatively warm day with temps on top in the upper 20s, but the wind was blowing pretty good today making it feel colder than it was. We had mostly sunny skies today until it started snowing around 2. We spent the morning on Sublette until they shut it down due to winds. Pretty wimpy compared to the NW. That drove us to Thunder for the rest of the day. We struggled mightily to get 30K today and in the end, we didn't quite make it. 100,440 vert for our three days here. Not bad considering crowds and fixed grip quads.

Heading to Big Sky tomorrow. Might be a bit of a hairball trip as there is a storm advisory tonight and all day tomorrow. Figures...the day we leave. Maybe some of it will hit Big Sky to the north.
