The storm cycle has cleared for the time being, and we enjoyed a beautiful bluebird morning up at Teton Pass, scoring three powdery descents before noon. This late in the season, you’ve got to get the powder early on sunny days! Rider: Jason King.

Another foot or two of fresh powder! It’s ridiculous! I stepped off the bootpack at one point and sunk up to my waist.

Thigh deep powder… on a snowboard. Probably the deepest snow of the season. It felt like cloud surfing today.

Winter has returned in style this last week in Jackson Hole, bearing the late-season gift of four feet of fresh powder. We’ve enjoyed a fun week of powder in and around the Village, but now that the ski area has closed, today we headed up to Teton Pass for a couple deep mid-winter-esque pow lines.

Top notch powder day today at the Village! We’ve had nearly 3 feet of snow in the last week, and more storms are lining up in the forecast for the coming week. The dream for April is coming true! Rider above: Jason King.
Jackson’s finally been getting more snow the last few days, which has eased my anxiety after hearing reports of storm after storm dumping on the San Juans back home in Colorado the last few months. It was an “official” powder day at the ski area today, meaning that every man, woman, and child in Jackson were waiting in line for the lifts to open. We were up early and waiting at the front of the gondola line, only to be informed that it was having mechanical problems and would be delayed for who knows how long. Seeing as every other line was jammed with people, Jason and I bailed and went hiking on Teton Pass instead. More mellow. And we rode a sweet untracked line with perfect cream-cheese Wyoming powder.

Six new inches of snow has refreshed the Jackson Hole backcountry. The view above shows the line we’d soon be riding – that left face, the one with the two tracks.

Sorry, can’t think of a clever title for this post. Jason hikes along an interesting ridgeline this morning. Notice the handmade board he recently built for himself over at the Igneous factory.
