Jackson has just reopened it's tram for back country skiing and riding. Um, awesome.
(http://pointofrelease.com/news/jackson-hole-tram-reopens-on-saturday-to-record-157-snowpack/) The tram will be open through June 17th and is free with proof of residency. I was born in Wyoming and was wondering if I could ride the tram for free with my birth certificate, so I called.  The answer is no- they are not impressed with my birth.
