More evidence Teton Pass not only is full of magical turns but magical creatures as well. Professional freeskier Pip Hunt joins Jeff Brines as they venture South Side… (Editor’s note…it had better snow soon…not sure how many “illustrations” we can post on the site…)

Monday Stoke | Pow-tastic Edits
Mother Nature is currently unleashing her first ‘winter storm’ on us here in Jackson Hole. As I sit here and sip on my tea watching some of the first snowflakes fall in the town of Jackson, I am feeling like we all need a little Monday Morning powder stoke. So why don’t YOU sit back and enjoy some of the intern’s favorite pow videos of the past few years!

Most Wanted | 12/13 Storm Show Studios Trailer
Storm Show Studios (who is also working with Full Room Productions these days) just released the trailer for their newest Jackson-based ski/snowboard flick, “Most Wanted.” While we’re big fans of all of the ski movies that come through town, the Storm Show flick always gets us the most fired up for ski season. For one, it doesn’t premiere until mid-November, but it’s also the fact that the majority of the footage is from riders and terrain you recognize from skiing at Jackson.
Corbet’s Session | Jackson Hole
Corbet’s Couloir is the most famous and most visible run at Jackson Hole. Right in view of the tram, it gives you the opportunity to be a hero or get heckled by all of your friends. When the TGR crew assembled for a crazy session of Corbet’s last winter, we got to see some impressive skiing that went far beyond the traditional “goat path” entrance. Tune in to see both the pro’s and the average Joe’s in this cool video from JHMR.

Friday Classic | TGR’s “The Big One”
“The Big One” was released by TGR in 2006 and tells the first 10 years of the TGR journey, from it’s inception in 1996 through films like “Uprising” and “The Realm.” “The Big One” is one of our favorites, and absolute required viewing if you plan on spending any time skiing in Jackson. The film embodies some of our favorite things: the entrepreneurial spirit, powder skiing and not being afraid to do things a bit differently…
Intern’s Picks of the Year
Throwback Thursday | “The Last of the Ski Bums” Jackson Hole Segment
Thanks to Earlyups fan mlong11 for helping develop this new weekly segment. Each week, we will post one of our favorite old school/VHS skiing clips. We will, in advance, forewarn that there will be plenty of Warren Miller clips because we are fanatics for old-school Warren Miller footage. However, today’s throwback clip (one of the intern’s all-time favorites) is of Bob Smith (Founder of Smith Optics), Pepi Steigler and Sam Southwick crushing Jackson Hole Mountain Resort during a deep day, back in the day…
