How is the coverage at Grand Targhee and JHMR and Snowbasin and AltaBird?

Thanks NSers! I had a Verizon work phone last 2 winters and Verizon is typically king of the mountain but the company cancelled that plan and I'm on my personal phone I can't really change carriers.

Typically its been 1/0 bars on TMobile on the hill while Verizon is near flawless 4/5 bars.

No I can't really ever be off the grid for work M-F.

If I am zeroed out on bars there are going to be problems even if I take the days off for PTO shit can't be going straight to VM all day with no ability to return a VM.

It’s trash and even if you do show 3/4/5 bars of lte there is almost always network congestion. Get skynet aka starlink if you need to work.

I mean I just want to be able to see my phone calls and emails and able to return them without getting in the car I can handle having to go into a lodge or side of the trail.

Have had zero issues making calls while skiing in LCC. There are some dead spot zones in the canyon but you should be fine. I remember having issues with my phone in Targhee last winter but I also had a radio on me. Snowbasin should also be fine.

Your not working not your problem. Find a new job if it is.

Lol nah dude I am pretty set being able to work from wherever I want that has cell service.

I'm also kind of important a lot of people rely on me. I also don't want to give off a certain vibe to my customers when they call I can go in the lodge and return their shit its not a big deal I earn enough.

Verizon treated me very well the last 2 winters so I'm a little concerned.

I haven't spent extensive time at Altabird/jhmr but skied both a handful last winter and from what I remember my T mobile phone had no problems in either.

T-Mobile is iffy at the ghee, not sure about the Village. For those two hills, AT&T is far and away the best.
