Trip Report• Ski report

– It is all about the snow & JH had a great year!– JH received >200” of snow before we arrived.

500” for the year– All but 3 of 116 named runs were open when we

arrived – all open by mid-week!– Most of the group took a group tour on the first

day – conditions were a bit firm– Received a few fresh inches the second day and

then more and more snow every day afterwards! Thursday and Friday were epic!

Trip Report• Ski report (continued)

– On Wednesday there was a trip to Targhee, few Goddard attendees, all had a great time

– A few in the group skied Corbett’s Couloir!– Many others skied “Meet your maker”…..one

almost met him• Everyone made it home without injury

preserve, dog sled race, etc.• Trip home was smooth• Next year is Steamboat – please come
