The snow was falling, the skiing was top notch, and the après scene was definitely taking hold.
Superbowl Sunday
Finally the volatility of the snow pack had relaxed some what. The overall avalanche danger had dropped slightly. The risk however of triggering dangerous hard slab avalanche’s is still lingering around the Tetons. There are reports every couple of days of skiers and snowmobilers triggering avalanches all around the backcountry sounding Jackson. Last week a snowmobiler was killed and another was injured. This all sounds scary, and it is, but it’s a lot less intense as it was a couple of weeks ago.
So this slightly reduced avalanche risk has let us get out and explore the Jackson Hole’s surrounding backcountry.
