Jay has been working hard to keep Teton Pass open for the past six weeks, even through the shutdown that considers him “nonessential staff.” If you believe Jay is an essential part of Teton Pass, consider chipping in to help Jay cover expenses. Give a gift through Friends of Pathways and we’ll make sure Jay gets paid for all his hard work.

It’s Snowing! How Will We Ever Ski?
It’s dumping today at Trail Creek and if you are a skate skier, it could be challenging. There was about 6 inches of new snow at the beginning of grooming and another 6 has fallen during grooming. As of 12:30 PM the wind was calm, temperature -1ºC/31ºF, and the snowfall was heavy.
Today’s Pisten Bully grooming reworked all the fields, Woolsey Woods, Moose Loop, and Armin’s on out to Boiler and back with double or triple passes complete with fresh classic tracks. While classic skiers were all smiles, a couple of hardy skaters looked a bit flustered as the morning’s initial grooming was rapidly disappearing. Today is the last day of Wilson Winter sports and they seemed to be overjoyed by the bountiful snow. All in all snow is a really good thing when you are a skier and if you have time to come out to witness first hand this epic snowfall you won’t be sorry.
Groomer’s choice for today is Armin’s

Shooting Star Grooming Report
Last Updated: 1/16 @ 8am
Trails continue to groom out well and should provide enjoyable skiing. Anticipate the track to accumulate new snow after our morning groom along with some possible drifting as plenty of the white stuff is projected to fall through Thursday. Outlook is for heavy to moderate snowfall to continue over the weekend. Enjoy!
Next Update: Friday

The pow-pow party is here, bottomless days are near and the guests are all in good cheer! With significant snow for, at least, the next week, there will be PLENTY of snowy, deep runs on the mountain. The only required dress for this party are the widest, floatiest sticks you have at hand; with 6″ in the last 24 hrs, up to 8″ today, and 23″ by Saturday evening onward you will need those big-boy boards and skis to stay on top. Have a hoot out there today!
