Late Winter 2013

There has been a lot going on at Teton Village Sports in the past month. The skiing has been great, as have the late season antics. We have had a mix of powder skiing and spring skiing for the past few weeks. So if you aren’t out at the village, come get suited up at TVS and head up the tram. There is only a month left in the season…get your turns in.

Outside of the fun skiing, there has been some very exciting events. Powder week was last week, which is always a great time. Some of the TVS employees got to try out next years gear and test it out for all the ski industry reps. Powder Magazine was here sponsoring the event and enjoying the good winter conditions. As always, TVS put together a Quaffing team for the Gelande Quaffing World Championships that is held on the last day of Powder Week. We did not win, but we put together a good effort, as the entire village cheered the beer-drinking tournament on.

The annual Dick’s Ditch race was this past weekend and we had good showings from many of the TVS employees. Tristan Droppert almost podiumed for the Men’s Pro division after coming in 3rd last year. Caroline Schou won a belt buckle in the Women’s amateur division in her first ever year competing. Congrats to all who participated in this year’s gnarly Dick’s Ditch Race.

We have also been lucky enough to receive some of next years ski’s from both Rossignol and Volkl.  Come out to the Village and demo next year’s Rossignol Soul 7′s and the Volkl One’s and Two’s.  These skis are also available to buy, so get a pair of next years ski’s before next year.

Enjoy the next month of skiing!  We hope to get some more storms, but the spring skiing will be great if the warm weather comes in.  Either way, make your way out to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, and stop by and say Hi at Teton Village Sports.  We will get you in the best gear for March and April.  Shred on!

Bogner: the leader in sports fashion

For the past 25 years, Teton Village Sports has been the exclusive provider of Bogner Ski Apparel in the Jackson Hole Area. What is Bogner Ski Apparel, you ask? It’s a brand that goes hand in hand with the history of skiing.

Charlotte is wearing the only one-piece that we carry at TVS! The Bogner Silke Jacket is a throwback to the 70's.

 

 

 

 

Since 1932 Bogner has been on the forefront of the fashion side of the ski industry, in fact it’s been reffered to as the “inventor of sports fashion.” James Bond has sported Bogner in every ski scene of 007 movies, Willy Bogner Jr. directed the 1986 movie Fire & Ice that featured all Bogner gear, and the German National Ski Team has worn Bogner for 17 consecutive olympics!

The Silia Down Jacket with Nuara Fur brings out the Tiger in Becca! Becs is also wearing the sporty Fire+Ice Kessy pant.

But it’s not just fashion and history that makes Bogner special, it’s their dedication to quality. Bogner is dedicated not only to a quality product for their consumer, but they also push to be as environmentally friendly and sustainable as possible. Each piece of clothing is hand-crafted and an extensive amount of time is taken with every product.

 

 

 

Since Bogner has been such a staple of TVS for so many years, we wanted to dedicate a blog to their beautifully crafted ski apparel line. The TVS retail ladies dressed up and showed off some of the best gear that Bogner has to offer. Come on in and try it on for yourselves and see the fashionable side of skiing!

A Very TVS Christmas

A perfect bluebird Christmas Day

Happy Holidays from Teton Village Sports. We had one to remember here in Jackson Hole with a 14 inch storm hitting the Tetons just in time for the holidays. Not only was it 14 inches, but it was 14 inches of Cowboy Powder. Blower Pow. The goods. The fluffy stuff. Whatever you want to call it, we had it and nature isn’t finished with us yet!

TVS celebrated the holidays by doing what we do best…helping out our guests with all of their needs, and getting after it on the slopes. If you haven’t made it in to Teton Village Sports, make sure you do before the holidays are over. We have all the gear you need to keep warm and dry; and we have the equipment to keep you carving on the groomers and floating in the deep holiday snow.

For your rental and demo needs, stop by the shop. Ask for Rudolph, Vixen, Saint Nick, or Clark Griswold. You’ll probably just get a bleach blond-mustached guy named Sam, but he’ll help you get geared up for whatever the mountain has to offer.

Enjoy the Powder….

Seriously folks, its DEEP! Photo Credit: Patrick Nelson

and Happy New Year from your crew at TVS!

Early Season 2012/2013

A break in the storm...

We are officially three weeks into the 2012/2013 Ski Season! What exactly does that mean?

All good things: It’s been dumping for 3 weeks straight, faceshots are at a market equilibrium, the big red box is running full blast, the mountain is empty, TVS already threw a Martini Party, and my rock skis are a mangled piece of garbage (Well, I guess that isn’t a good thing, but it means the locals are getting after it). Basically we’re on track to having a great season in Jackson Hole, and we couldn’t be more stoked!

Look forward to updates from Teton Village Sports throughout the season. We will keep you posted with the store happenings, the right equipment for mountain conditions, anything new with the locals and employees of TVS, videos and photos that’ll make you salivate, and most importantly… the shred conditions on the hill.

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is calling your name…get to TVS, gear up and get after it!

JH Geometry! Arithmetic from ski bum scholar athletes

Posted on by

Pythagoras kept us busy this morning as we took (from posters in the bathroom) the rough measurements of the tram line and vertical feet to calculate the distance to the center of Rendezvous Peak and therefore an estimate of total depth of the mountain (to cardiac ridge area)…if it were a perfect isosceles triangle (which it is not).  Our Calculations reveal the rough distance to the center of the mountain is about 2.38 miles which means the overall size of the mountain at the base (could be) around 5 miles long!  WHOA! Here’s the math, read up kids!

 

KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE WEATHER. (more snow!)

We have a decent sized system moving in from off the coast of nor Cal.  Should arrive by tomorrow afternoon or so. It has potential to dump a few inches by wednesday which should be fun.  I check moutainweather.com for their Satelite and Radar Tab which tracks stuff coming in from the pacific.  Check those and web cams on jacksonhole.com or the JH-Tapped app and your good to go.

RIP IT UP!

Tearing down groomers on Carving skis is TOTALLY NECTAR!

Since I have a Marg Cup race this firday at the King, I will be maching turns on the Dynastar Course Ti along with Tommy Moe. Most of our carving skis are going fast but we still have some Rossi 82 Ti’s and Strato’s, Experience 88′s, Head Super-shapes, and Volkl RTM 75′s. Choose your line well and lay down a tasty egde into that hardpack. Hopefully a few inches come tonight and tomorrow to soften things up again. Start dancing for those snow gods!
HAPPY SHREDDING!
