Feb. 3-9 - Dr. Huckinstuff's weekly recap:

It was a wild week in the Hole with wicked weather and even sicker skiing. Our lingering case of Powder Deficit Disorder came to a sudden conclusion, as the Teton Apothecary filled Dr. Huckinstuff's powerful prescription. Daily drops of pow kicked off on Saturday with a little 3-inch touch up, but that was only a premonition of things to come. With the warm air that had settled into the valley the week before and a hefty dose of moisture from the Pacific Ocean's atmospheric river, conditions were primed for a powder pounding. Coming in hot the first few days of fresh glommed on to our firm base layer and then, to the delight of face shot seeking skiers, the temperatures began to drop. Tuesday and Wednesday came with a one-two punch combo of over 24 inches and just like that we were back in the game. The typical sensations supplied by Newtonian physics fell by the wayside as reality became lost in the calming chaos of a bottomless pow ride. Air junkies took the opportunity to send themselves skyward while the less adrenaline driven found their happy place in the depths of the deepening crystal drifts. By weeks end over 4 feet had landed on the Gentle Giant, turning what had looked like a dismally early spring back into a mid-winters dream. Joe Walsh rightly said, "Nature loves her little surprises" and boy oh boy, so do we. Looking ahead, more snowshower appetizers appear to be shaping up in prelude to a potential mid-week inundation. With just a little luck Mother Nature will keep those sweet little surprises coming. -Lege
