Could Big Snow Alone Save The West This Year?

Trip — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 14:34:42 +0000

I remember the winter of 2007/2008 like it was yesterday. Ski bums at resorts all across the West were hailing “Oh-Seven, Oh-Eight” as the Great One, or in “dude-speak”, “Oh-Heaven, Oh-Great”. Record-breaking snowfalls coupled with a piggish economy equaled the dream! From monster ... Read More

Elk Meat Nachos Elk-meat nachos at the Snake River Lodge show promise, but lack the melted cheesiness of my desires. The $17 nachos (normally $12, but we asked for some protien) were fairly close to the perfect nacho…. Likes: Tons of toppings! I will give some extra points for the use of ... Read More

After attending the most recent ”First Friday” art event at the Lindsay McCandless Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming, I not only found myself slightly buzzed from the free wine, but also slightly starving from the lack of food at the event. So, my group of lady-friends did what we knew ... Read More

A few weeks ago, on a rare bluebird day at Grand Targhee resort, I was with a group of ladies that skied the ‘Football Fields’ all afternoon. This southwest facing slope just off the Sacajawea chairlift proved time and time again that there was enough snow to go around, even on a ... Read More

Today I took a chance and re-visited my first nacho quest of the season and was pleasantly surprised. Cascade is located slopeslide in the Teton Mountain Lodge at Jackson Hole. My first experience of the ski season brought a little disappointment, (we paid $18 and left unsatisfied!) however word ... Read More

My summer months were spent peddling Tram merchandise at the souvenir shops at the top and bottom of the ... Read More

Where are all the skiers?

Team Billy — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 16:38:27 +0000

Jackson Hole, Wyoming. January 20th, 2009 Where is everyone? Did Bernie Madoff “make-off” with all the skiers as well? Two days ago, the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort felt like the Yellowstone Club, a private ski hill. Those few who shared my mountain with me, all felt the same way. Granted, ... Read More

admin — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 23:23:02 +0000

There is nothing I like more than to sit down with good friends after a day of skiing to a plate of loaded nachos. After a dissappointing round of apres nachos ($15/each plus extra for the added convenience of guacamole!) at a restaurant in Teton Village, Wyoming, I seriously thought that good ... Read More
