Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- We got dumped on in Wyoming and had so much snow! We snowboarded Jackson Hole which is arguably the most challenging ski resort in the United States (we didn’t realize that until after we went).
After Jackson Hole, we drove across the Teton Pass making our way to Grand Targhee where there was SO MUCH SNOW! More snow than we ever experienced it was Amazing!!!

Hey everyone! We got so lucky in Wyoming with all this snow, I hope you enjoy the video!!!
Give us a follow on Instagram if you haven't already to stay up to date in real time! instagram.com/mathersonthemap/
That guy demonstrates monk levels of patience.
Haha thanks Dav!
I live your videos no matter what day of the week 💕
Aww thank you we appreciate it soo much!
非常棒
Don't be too hasty to clean off the snow if you're not driving, snow is an insulator!
True that, we’ll keep that in mind!
You're not the only UA-camrs there. Off the ranch just posted their video that they were there. That'd be a great channel to collaborate with to get a huge following. They helped another channel go from 0 subs to over 120k in 7 days
That would be amazing!!! haha
Amazing video. I've watched around 5 today.
Taylor, I think we kept you company around the fire pit at the base of Jackson. Safe travels!
Omgosh yes!! You and your family/friends were lovely!! Thank you so much for keeping me company and sharing some local knowledge with me, I really appreciated it!!! Hope all is well!!
@@MathersOnTheMap All good here. We’re the couple that lives in Jackson so if you ever get back this way get in touch and you have a place to stay! I regretted not asking how I could find your videos so I’ve been searching van life videos ever since and just found this today. Visibility on the mountain would be much better today!
Aww I’m so glad you found us!! Thank you so much we really appreciate it, if we are ever back it Jackson we will definitely reach out!!! Great hearing from you!
I have been to Jackson Hole and it is AMAZING! VERY STEEP! Watching this made me want to go back to visit. Thanks for this video it was AWESOME ⛷
Thank you James! I want to go back after watching it too, so fun!
Interesting have been thinking of building a van and moving to maybe targhee for the winter. how did all your solar system there work with that weather? heard it gets foggy and windy there.
Wish I could like it twice or more!! It felt like I was there with you --- all that snow, CRAZY! Saw that truck with a pop-up camper with the top up across from you - that's gotta be nuts...
Guess you can't get much ventilation from the roof vent when it's encased in snow? Glad no pipes froze.
BTW, check out this doughnut test I came across the other day - ua-cam.com/video/NHqZ9N-XIkk/v-deo.html -- think you'll love it!!
💖
Why anyone lives East of the Rockies just boggles my mind.
Good looking place you have to stay. Wish to go there.
Truth be told, after moving from Jersey 32 yrs ago and only living in warm climates, your ski trip isn't as fun for me as your Florida adventures... just saying.🤗
Don’t worry warm weather is coming back soon!
That looked like a lot of fun, it has put snowboarding on my list of things to do.
Looks like the chains and diesel heater did their jobs.
Nice job on the editing and recording 👍
The chains and heater were LIFESAVERS for sure!!!
You guys didn't get waffles at the top of the tram at Jackson? I thought that was going to be the highlight of your video!!
We didn't get that much snow out of that storm in Tahoe, you're so lucky!! On foggy days ski the tree line they cast a shadow that'll help you see better. Jackson Hole is definitely one of my favorite ski resorts, if you make it to Tahoe Squaw Valley will blow you away, it's amazing and beautiful!! Nothing like it!! No friends on a Powder Day!! Yesterday was Day 101 skiing this season, trying to hit 125!!
I so wanted a Sprinter but I had to have AWD in Tahoe, my AWD Ford Transit is a beast in the snow!! It's better than my Subaru and Toyota Highlander!!
You're definitely getting better snowboarding, great video!!
Nope I didn't even know about it. 125 days is insane!!!!! We're down in Baja now AWD would be nice for this sand!
@@MathersOnTheMap that's awesome, I can wait to hear about your Baja trip! You guys are amazing!
How do you keep your tanks from freezing did you plumb heat in around them?
No it’s either drain out or freeze 🥶
Well you named this episode perfectly. We didn't even get that much up here in Canada! You two are fun to watch :)
Thank you!!! It was soo much snow, more than we have ever seen!
I was up there last summer on the tram and couldn’t believe the drop offs on the ski trails. Make sure you have a waffle at Corbett’s Cabin Top of the World Waffle House. You guys are braver than I am. Another great video!
Thank you, we’ll have to go back to try that waffle!! And only Kev is brave haha I hung out at the lodge for that one!
Hi there,! Jackson Hole is on my must visit list. I'm from Brazil (no snow here) but I ski in Argentina and Chile. Never that much snow. I'm converting my Sprinter Van and I wish you could clarify one thing for me. Do the Solar Panels generate any power on this snowy condition? Does the bright white of the snow "acts" like a luminosity the panels can use to generate power? And, amazing tires you got ....
Jackson hole is sweet! Recommend it!
Solar works in winter for sure but you have to clear the panels obviously. On a cloudy day it’s not nearly as strong but still better than dark!
@@MathersOnTheMap thanks!
That scene kind of reminds me of back when we were skiing Arapahoe Basin CO. We got off the lift at the very top and found ourselves in a “whiteout”. We just about had to spit to determine which way was down.
Hahaha it’s so crazy, right!?
We’ll see you every Tuesday? It’s Friday in Las Vegas 🤣
Hahaha sometimes there’s a bonus!!!
Awesome! I just got back from my first trip to JHSR this March, and it was epic! I got into town the day of a big Friday storm, but got to enjoy the rewards of that storm over the weekend and into the next week. Saw a lot of camper vans parked in the Ranch lots and Stilson lots, was wondering if I'd see a YT video by someone at some point :-)
Haha that’s funny yea too bad you can’t sleep In Those lots! Thanks for watching stoked ya found us!
Looks awesome! What chains are you using?
We got ours from tirechainsonline.com Diagonal Cable Tire Chain - Part no. 747C
So you do not have a block heater. Is the deisel hard to start?
We haven’t had issues but didn’t attempt when it was -8° in west Yellowstone luckily it’s been relatively warm (for the diesel fuel filter)
@@MathersOnTheMap you can pick up a block heater fairly inexpensive and with the inverter you have you would be able to warm the oil before you start it when I lived in Gunnison Colorado it was standard on all vehicles even gas the city is known for the coldest spot in the nation
Wow that was awesome. You were there for perfect conditions.
Right, we got soooo lucky!
I hope you can respond to my comment. I’m getting ready to buy a sprinter for retirement and build it myself. I’ll be going most of the places y’all have went this winter. Do you ever wish you had got a 170 4x4 instead? I’m trying to decide which to get . I really enjoy your videos. Thanks
Not if it’s 20k more and on a waiting list!
Chains and a good set of tires work great
Yes they do get expensive. I just didn’t want to regret not getting one later. I’ve been looking at the transits also but the quality of the sprinter is so much better. Thanks for responding
You got it! It’s personal preference at the end of the day!
Look at the POW😍
It was amazing!!
Do you know how to drive Manual?
Yes
@@MathersOnTheMap Would you what to get a Manual Car?
I can't believe you made it out of there with only 2wd! I'm currently waiting for a 4x4 Revel, but after seeing this, who needs 4x4? lol
With a good set of all terrains and chains I don’t think ya really need 4x4 unless you’re trying to get really aggressive
The powder looked awesome-what a workout!
May I ask what size tires you decided on and what brand & model of “chains?”
I’ll check your site. Also want to know what you used on the lower rockers and how it’s holding up.
Also, if your van was 4wd do you think you’d use the chains?
Not sure if any of your viewers has a 4x4 sprinter with snow experience to comment?
Asking because I avoided the snow this year in mine.
265/75/16, got chains from tirechainsonline.com not sure the brand I think I’m commented them somewhere!
No 4wd but with Ko2’s and chains I’m very comfortable.
I think it’s a good setup if you don’t have the cash for a 4wd (we did not!)
Thanks for watching!
Wow, Soo cool to see all the snow and watching you both board. Do the skiers and boarders have their own runs? Can't figure out how you film yourself Kevin. Not techy here. I had to backup and watch again the guy flying off the rock. I rarely skied powder (WA state has heavier snow mostly) and I may have one more time in me to do it...I liked Jackson Hole view.
I think the rules are the same! I use a gopro to capture the footage! Jackson hole is sweet! Very steep though!
One of you is so gorgeous.
Thank youuuu!
Holy cow, had to put my thermals on just to finish watching this, to be young again...Thanks for sharing!
Haha thank you!
Awesome video guys. And omg that ice around the wheels is crazy. That’s a ton!!
Right soo nuts!
@@MathersOnTheMap yes yes. I bet it’s fun though
Great episode. Taylor you need to start posting your recipes. I need more van life recipes. This looks delicious.
Haha I let her know! Maybe she’ll put something together!
Looks so fun! With your heater up front do you find the garage/water area stays warm enough?
No if we could do it over again we would ventilate the water area so more warm air could get there!
How do you find places to park each night? Is there like an app or what
IOverlander is our favorite!
Great vid! Is your rig 4x4? Do you think you would have made it out without chains? Also what brand are those chains? I’m trying to decide if i need them for this/next winter?!?
Not 4x4 and I’m not sure it snowed a lot that day and I didn’t want to risk it! I got the chains off tirechainsonline.com
Awesome thanks! Keep up the good work with your vlog journey! My wife and I are having so much fun following along
You have found an amazing storm cycle! Skiing the POW! If the visibility is poor on the slopes, if possible ski near the sides of the trail near the trees. It helps with the depth perception. I patrolled 15 years in the west and found it really helps with visibility. I’m liking those snow tire chains. What make? Be safe!
Right it was awesome!
We got ours from tirechainsonline.com Diagonal Cable Tire Chain - Part no. 747C
@@MathersOnTheMap Thank you! Looking forward to more videos
Lucky!!! what a pow day dude good stuff
So lucky!
Great video thanks for sharing
Thanks Michael!
