Powder Alert – Grab Your 42″ Snorkel!

January 9, 2008

Fitzjan2008Wyoming and Idaho’s Teton backcountry has gotten a whopping 42″ of mouth-watering powder in the last five days. That’s right, NOLS’ Teton Valley Branch is awash in puffy, face-splashing, white nirvana-from-the-sky.

It’s been a great snow year so far, with more on the way. That means it’s also a great year for our snowboarding, backcountry skiing, alumni telemarking and winter outdoor educator courses. Check out the recent photo by instructor John Fitzgerald.

Isn’t it time you grabbed your boards and cut some turns with NOLS? Better wear goggles.
