If you missed the Jackson Hole Ski & Snowboard Club’s annual ski swap last weekend, or you didn’t get or sell what you wanted, you’ve got another opportunity at the Wilson Elementary School Ski and Sports Swap this weekend, on Saturday, November 14, to try again. They’ll take ski and sports gear for all ages and 20% of the proceeds go to support the Wilson Elementary School’s Winter Sports Program. This is typically a less frenzied ski swap and a great place to unload and pick up new gear for the kids.

Trailer Fine Gets Hefty

Hans — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:26:06 +0000

This fine will cost you $410 bucks beginning this winter.

Apparently the cost of getting caught pulling a trailer over Teton Pass in the winter wasn’t high enough, according to the Wyoming Supreme Court. I was unaware that the fine was so paltry: a mere 110 smackers. Hardly enough to deter most sled-heads and truckers looking for a short-cut from Victor to Wilson.

Well, this year the price tag for such violations will be quite a bit heftier. According to an article in today’s Jackson Hole News&Guide, that price just went up to $410! Hopefully that’ll keep the unwarranted trailer traffic to a minimum.

TetonSnowInfo.com Provides All The Weather And Snow Information A Teton Skier Needs

Hans — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 20:23:02 +0000

TetonSnowInfo.com is your one-stop site for Teton area snow, weather and avalanche information.

After years of rumination and a surprising few weeks of programming, my good friend Chris Larson has created the one-stop snow, weather and avalanche information site every Teton snow-slider needs. TetonSnowInfo.com aggregates snow reports from Grand Targhee and Jackson Hole resorts, avalanche information from the Bridger Teton National Forest Avalanche Center, and a broad variety of weather data from the National Weather Service.

Chris had long complained about having to go to a dozen or more sites and pages to gather all the information needed (or at least desired) for a day of skiing, and I know he’s not alone. I’m sure many readers will recognize the data he has aggregated on this new site. I highly recommend checking it out and then bookmarking it. (You can also find it under Conditions in the sidebar of this site.) It will surely become your go-to site for all the info you need for a day in the Tetons.

If you are interested in the full press release about the launch, you can view it here.
