Winter on Staff Street

Someone asked about Staff Street during the winter,  the snow is fake and we photo shopped the palm trees out of the picture.

Gros Ventre Moose

If this is your first year at CBV you need to visit the Gros Ventre (Grow Vant) campground area on the way to Jackson and look for moose & bison.  Here are a couple of Gros Ventre Managers Steve and Doris's moose.  Looks like mom and a yearling, mom's packing another calf.   For the marina staff, the white stuff is snow!

For All of YOU stuck in the snow remember summer is coming.
