Snowbird Rises, Jackson Falls (Out West Report)

It seems Jackson is nowhere near as gnarly as once thought. After an epic two weeks of snowfall, Jackson did the only sensible thing. CLOSE DOWN FOR THE SEASON. I seriously can't believe it. Even though they had an announced "close date" months in advance, they actually stuck to it even though they have received massive dumpings. Hell, Mount Snow, Killington, even Hunter are still open! But Jackson Hole's 500+ inches and 100 inch base was not enough. Jackson - you're on notice.

And to the awesomness. Snowbird is officially calling it 12 days 12 feet. This user-created video below is a testament to how amazing the conditions were (and still are) and just how good that mountain really is.
