Head to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort where its 4,139 vertical feet of intimidating in-bound runs, like Corbet’s Couloir, come with a high pucker factor. Last winter 558 inches fell. The Farmer’s Almanac is forecasting an unusually cold and stormy season, and Jackson's already received 87 inches of snow this season.. The mountain’s annual New Year’s Eve celebration will feature bluegrass, Pabst Blue Ribbon, and dancing ski bums. On New Year’s Eve at 6 p.m., watch more than a 100 torchlight-wielding employees ski in a single-file line down the face of Apres Vous Mountain. After the last firework explodes, head to the Couloir Restaurant and Bar to celebrate the New Year with bluegrass sensation, the Miller Sisters. Can’t scalp a ticket? Don’t worry; bluegrass quintet Whiskey Morning will play eight miles away at the Stagecoach Bar in Wilson, Wyoming. Their song “10 a.m.” is an anthem to the Jackson Hole ski bum lifestyle. Stay at the ski in-ski out Four Seasons Resort Jackson Hole and soak in one of the resort’s three slope-side hot tubs. Want to avoid the $795 price tag? Head into Jackson proper to stay at The Wort Hotel; on Tuesdays, its bar is the heart of Jackson’s nightlife. $238.50.

Flag This"...Jackson already has an 81-inch base." Obviously the writer doesn't know much about snow. According to Jackson's website they have a 28" base so far (as of 12/8/11). As far as I know there isn't a ski resort in the lower 48 that has an 81 inch base yet (that would be A LOT of snow for this time of year).
Flag ThisYou've got to learn to read Marcus. No one claimed an 81 inch base. The writer waid that 81 inches had fallen so far. Here on Mt Hood we had a 47 inch BASE which is now down to 37 inches. But the total snowfall so far this season has been well over 100 inches. Snow packs down and settles and yes - it melts. Last season we received over 600 inches of snowfall but the BASE never got over 180 inches (and was still over 60 inches when it closed for the summer in June)
