Alright, so last few years I've made the pilgrimage up to Jackson Hole from Colorado every season around Christmas/New Years, and of course being J-Hole it never dissapoints, the snow is usually epic for the time of year and I've always met all kinds of cool locals who shred; it seems to be one of the few places left in the country that has a real, legit ski bum culture left. anyways so yeah I am planning a trip up after New Years and was wondering if anyone knew what the deal is with the Hostel-X, I heard rumors it was under new management or something and according to their website it seems their rates have gone up significantly to like over a hundred bucks a night from like sixty!?! I've also heard rumors it has been bought out or is going to be torn down to make way for a new mega-resort.....if so this is very sad news indeed. Given the current shitty state of the economy and the long-ass drive from Golden, I'm lookin to maybe save a little $$ on this trip, any advice? Does the resort have any decent deals in terms of tickets ect.... ?? Any advice appreciated; thanks guys!!
Oh and also if anyone wants to ski with me like Jan. 6th-10-th at Jackson, I'll prob be there, I have avy gear/BC experience and know the resort and surrounding BC fairly well. Lookin to hike some big stuff if the conditions allow.
Thanks in advance,
Phil.
