While Waiting for Real Powder to Return
February 25th, 2009Posted in Skiing in the Tetons
Warm temps, soggy snow and robins chirping in the trees got you down since it is still February?
The upside is the early arrival of crust in the Teton Valley. Crust thick enough to support a skier on skate skis. It’s crust skiing time! Maybe not everywhere, but I cruised for several miles this morning and only twice did a ski punch through the crust. OK, I only weigh 150 pounds after stuffing myself on Thanksgiving, so maybe I have an edge on thin ice and crust, but if your weight to ski surface ratio isn’t too far out of whack, this crust felt solid enough so it should work for most folks. Try it.
