After reportly 14 inches of fresh snow in the last 24 hours, Teton Pass is in fine shape. As usual the boot pack was in good shape and allowed for an hour's hike despite being pretty sick for the last 2 days. Make two runs down "Little Tucks", airing off the cornice in the guts of the thing. A ski cut produced no results despite the new snow. The cornices are huge, rather stiff and the snow below is soft and forgiving.
For the last run, took a run down the guts of Glory bowl down to the road, snow was getting heavier and was start to feel a little more likely to sluff. Will try to post a pic or two a little later.

Is "Little Tucks" the bowl just north of Glory Bowl. Skied the Teton pass area 2 weeks ago for the first time. Both Glory Bowl and the I presume "Little Tucks" were in fine shape. We also skied a couple bowls on the the south side of the pass which were also good. I was amazed at the potential around Teton Pass ( especially if you have 2 cars to run shuttle). Saw some pretty funny scenes with dogs chasing their owners down some steep,deep powder.
Yes, "Little Tucks" is the bowl just north of Glory on the East side of the pass. Snow seemed pretty stable, however in "Unski-a-bowl" yesterday a guy was buried to his neck, which makes it seems a little less stable out there.
