Early Christmas Present

Christmas has come early to Jackson Hole and Santa has brought us powder once again. Today is the 2nd day in a row of 12" of new. The weather has gone this way the last few years in a row: no snow and then all of the sudden the hoses turn on and don't turn off for weeks. The weathermen are forecasting another 2 feet in the mountains on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day :)

With the avalanche danger being too high for a relaxing day in the backcountry, we're off to the village. The airport closed yesterday, so Nate's clients couldn't make it in for a lesson today. I skied out there yesterday and the place was empty. It was a treat to ski a foot of new before the holiday crowd arrives.

For the snow junkies out there, here's a great website to track how all the ski resorts in the country are doing for snow. Looks like a LOT of folks are getting an early Christmas this year!
