Unless they've moved Snowbird to Wyoming, that's LCC. Wyoming, Greatest Snowjob on Earth. What's really funny is that Colorado used a picture of Superior in their Olympic bid. Check out the story in the old black covered Wasatch Tours book, Kelner and Hanscomb. Everybody seems to want to claim that little bump in the hills. -klaus |

The caption in the dead tree edition says: "At Grand Targhee Resort in Wyoming, skiers and snowboarders can take snowcats to the top of a private slope." The photo is credited to Todd Shepera. As I have read here, people who have been to the depicted slope say the identification is wrong. Maybe the picture's tagline has been corrected online. Sorry about that. Either way, it looks like a fun place to be. Thanks to everyone who responded for the correct identification. |

Looks like Superior to me,s confused, and needing some Wyoming time, -klaus Vigorous denial, part two: Oh, now I get it. The big, introductory picture in the online article is not in Wyoming. In the dead tree edition, the Wyoming picture is spread across two pages. Online, that Wyoming picture is a "click to enlarge" picture, bigger than a thumbnail. It's my fault for not checking to see that the online article was like the dead tree one. Any way you cut it, there's probably more snow there than in the mid-Atlantic, where we had a day in the 70s. I mean, the temperature was in the 70s, not that we were wearing bellbottoms and listening to disco. Not all of us, at least. |
