Grand Targhee has snow… and is letting you ride for free if the mountain you normally ride isn’t bangin’ yet.
Looks like you just need to book three nights through their reservation system.
Winter’s out there.
I admit I ducked said rope. In doing so I accepted the natural risks of the mountain. Additionally, I feel confident that at no time I had put myself or others in danger.
I acknowledge that my actions within full view of the lift on a Saturday puts you in a difficult position. Another less capable rider might see my turns and feel encouraged to follow my line. The general ease at which I slayed said slope would make any 3rd-Party desire to have a similar experience.
Obviously I did not anticipate you being right above me on the chair when I commenced my liberal interpretation of land use within a National Forest.
Hopefully you will take my quiet exit from your mountain resort on this day as an acceptable punishment. For example I was not able to recreate with friends who were still yet to arrive at your facility.
Regards,
your friend
PS- I’d do it again.
From the Anchorage Daily News:
“We have a drift that’s gotta be 8 or 9 feet high at the station and our transmitter shack is almost completely buried.”
The snow wasn’t just falling but blowing around creating white-out conditions. The Cordova Police Department asked drivers to stay off the road for a while said dispatcher Nancy Gentry. “The snowplows were not running because visibility was only 10 or 15 feet,” she said.
Last Spring, a 'bad' snow year
all natural baby
Well, winter is happening here in Northern New England. Stowe has been getting snow since about Christmas Day. Through the power of modern snowmaking and grooming, you may not think it looking at your backyard, winter is here.
Above was some of the all-natural terrain (no snowmaking, no grooming, etc. ) that I rode this morning.
So it’s happening… may not be as epic or unforgettable as last year but it’s there for the taking.
Stowe’s had a foot of snow in the last week, with more snow on the way
Get after it.
We pulled a bunch of limited edition screen prints for the sales meeting this weekend. They came out awesome.
The crew will be in town. Stoked to get the Syndicate all under the same roof and maybe raise some hell. We’ll see.
Once in a while we get an awesome letter. This is one of those times.
This is what Liftline at Stowe looked like on Tuesday.
We had over a foot of snow a week ago. The guns are on now but I’m impatient.
Doesn’t look like he’s having too bad of a time. He sent one word along with the photos; “Shred!!”
Finally! The snow has hit Vermont and Stowe was able to open for the first day of the 11/12 season!…but not before the Rome Crew headed into Burlington for the Red Fang/Spit Jack show the night before.

Blurred photo, obviously from excessive hang banging.
Finishing the set with a song you may know from our new flick The Shred Remains
For those who battled through sleep deprivation from the show, we were happy to see 5 inches of fresh along with a celebratory bottle of bubbly for Stowe’s new high speed quad! Add in a sprinkled doughnut, some good friends, and new gear, and this might be the best way to start of the season…period.
Before logging the first shred day of Stowe's season, Grady, Tim, and Mike enjoy some pre-lift celebratory snacks.
On the lift? That's how we pop bottles!
Justin and Natalie awaiting their turn to break in the new lift with a swig of high end Andres. Oh, and they're stoked to be riding.Until tomorrow...you were a blast Stowe! can't wait for the rest of the season, keep on snow dancin'.
