General Comments/Likes

This was my first and only cat experience so it was great having whole zones uncrowded and not bumped out. It started snowing while we were out there so it got better as the day went on. It’s always a great experience when you and your buddies can get together and ski in your own little stash all day and it sure beats skinning back up! If your in Jackson Hole and have been there done that give this a try with family or friends. Don’t forget to get some Wydaho Nachos (Think Waffle Fries + Nacho toppings) and a pitcher of Deep Powder Ale at the Trap Bar afterwards.

Dislikes

Not a dislike but more just being honest, this is Targhee so don’t expect steep pillow lines but more mellow terrain.
