Snow in Jackson last night. We'll see what happened up top. Not the best if you don't have a guide or know where to go.

After 22 years of guiding I can say I learned stuff yesterday. It keeps trying to snow. We haven't had that typical Togwotee dump yet but after an inch here and an inch there and its getting ok . Got storm posts so its a wait and see thing " Went on a sled recovery on Saturday. 50 miles from the lodge. To a place I never ride. And I discovered Tons of places untracked and begging to be ridden. Got to be willing to haul gas and do a trail dash to get to some of this, but its out there. Can't be spoiled and say no trails if you want the big adventure I ride a lot of back country difficult terrain. Now if I can learn some of this stuff without getting lost, well lets try. And the same for our other guides. As it was Kent and all his trail riding that sent me to the recovery and all the new dirt I saw along the way. So, fear not......its mountain riding.......get out here.......
