Last Thursday I was pleasantly surprised to find some fresh dirt melted out. Since then spring and summer ended and the tram reopened. We're back in winter 2011, v1.5. It will most likely be a while before things are back to the brown pow on the pass so when you want to go shred, plan on hiking. There are also trail work days coming soon- check out tetonfreedomriders.org/Calendar.html for info on when and where organized trail work will be going on.

I've been getting dialed on my new bike & gear and I've gotta say- riding tacky Teton Pass trails with a plush, efficient bike is the only thing that can really fill in for long pow turns on fat skis. During the rare times you can do both (within a mile), well, that's the kind of thing that keeps you in Jackson. That... and the shopping for contemporary western art.
