Default Jackson (and Utah) mid-trip report

Well, Jackson is skiing mid-spring, which just ain't right for 10,000
feet of mountain in the beginning of March, but what the hey - it's snow.

Chunky when frozen (or slick on the groomed when frozen) but softens up
real nice when the snow warms up. Groomers have that spring moment when
the surface is perfect, just before the skidders start piling it up in
clumps. Wife wiped on a clump up in Rendezvous and bent up her glasses
and broke her fan goggles(; my fault of course, although I know not
how.) Snow's a little sparse here and there, and the off piste is as
much about dodging rocks as laying tracks, but still enough to enjoy top
to bottom. Most everything is moguled up due to lack of recent
refreshment dumps. Only a regular (or someone who has stumbled into some
great days like I've done in the past) would really know that the Hole
has seen some better days, and would be quite satisfied with conditions,
which really are very decent.

Notes:
Just cause I'm greying up a trifle the ticket folks gave me
oldfogyrates, which saved a bundle. All I have to do now is avoid skiing
oldfogylines.

As I said earlier - they're giving away motel rooms - it's time to visit
if you're less than nouveau riche.

Going to spend another day in Jackson, then likely head for Utah. Unless
we don't. No point in overly planning this.
