Ahhh! Jackson Hole ...

  I went up last winter for a weekend and was impressed. Lots of veritcal
to be skied. I went in Jan. and the snow was a bit lousy by Utah standards
but the area was excellent. There's plenty of intermediate to advanced runs
and powder stashes can be found in the trees. 

  As for other activities, we went up on a full moon weekend and toured into 
Jenny Lake by moonlight. Wound up skiing all night! This is the only way
to see the Tetons ... if you can do a full moon week, go for it.

  We also skied Targe over on the Idaho side of the mountains. If you want
powder (and don't mind some weather) head over there one day. It's a bit of a
drive but well worth it. We skied waist deep runs all day and never ran out
of untracked snow.

  I've never toured Yellowstone, but rumor has it that it should be done by
renting a cobin and going in for a few days.

  As for Snow King, the view's nice but that's all!

Libations? Mangy Moose -- Jackson Hole
	   Cowboy Bar --- Jackson.
