Yup, it’s that time of year again. Okay, it has been that time of year again for a while in Jackson now. To add to the variety of trails available to mountain bikers, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is opening their bike park this weekend.

Lift service, which takes all of about a minute, will guarantee riders can shred brown pow until their forearms seize up.

No he doesn’t crash into Corbett’s Couloir…sorry. However, the setup is pretty classic…and a bit painful to watch at times. Three pole whacks, a massive hesitation into getting tip-to-tailed at the narrowest point, then out. Not exactly the most difficult run in the country, is it? So for those of you thinking Corbett’s is for “expert’s only,” just watch this video.
Finally, it happened. Sometime early this afternoon Jackson Hole Ski Patrol gave the green light to open Big Red, i.e. the Jackson Hole Tram. Although the signage and numerous bamboos … Read More
I’ll apologize in advance for the lack of good photos in this post- it was that good, and such a madhouse out there today I didn’t want to whip out … Read More
