So I am going out to Jackson to ski this Sunday - Thursday. They are currently getting smashed with a storm (+2ft) but it is expected to taper out by Saturday. How long will this powder last? Will I still be able to find pow Sunday and Monday? Where should I look?

Weekend pow days are rough. If it is not a weekend it won't be near as bad. Going to be pretty hard to find any leftover fresh though. But dont worry, JHMR is such a fun mountain with or without pooder

Tough news for them today. Power lines down all over 390 and the resort is closed until further notice (can be up to 7 days). Gotta feel for the people who flew out there to shred some good pow. Still 8 inches to come. High risk high reward for those nuts who are going into the BC with no avy mitigation work, but it sure as hell is probably deep out there.

I don't think you understand the situation homie. It looks like the zombie apocalypse ravaged Teton village. It's a creepy ass ghost town right now.
