How to ski Cody Peak?

I'm currently living in Teton Village, don't have a mountain bike, and I am itching to get over to Cody and take some runs. I don't have a touring set-up (or the money for one), although I have considered swapping my fks 180's for some Marker dukes or buying day-makers.

I'm just curious about what the hike over to cody peak from the tram is like, how long it takes, and whether a touring set-up is 100% necessary or not. It looks like it would be possible to ski back close enough to the tram to boot-pack back up, but i'm not positive. I would appreciate some input, thanks!

Glad to hear you made it to the village! Hope hostel life is treating you well! Take the tram up, ski out the top gate and keep traversing high until you are at the start of the boot pack/rock scramble. Hike to your perfered drop point. Ski, repeat. You can probs ski most of the way out to the bottom of rock springs and hike out the rest of the way. Or you can hike back up to the tram which is what most people do. Ask you fine coworkers, im sure one of them would show you around!

Thanks for the help, I'm loving it here so far. I've been asking around and I'm stoked to hear that touring gear isn't a need. That is huge for me.
