JONG TR: Jackson Hole

So a couple weeks ago me and two of my best buds (non-mag couple nate and newsha) took a trip to Jackson. i've wanted to go there pretty much my whole life, and it finally came up as a spur-of-the-moment trip, so we hopped in the truck and drove our asses to jackson. coming from denver, I-80 was totally closed, so we retracked to casper and headed west from there. it only added about 4 hours to the trip. got there around 3am, right before they closed all roads into town. 16" the first day, 7" the second, and blue skies the third made it worth the while.

i apologize for the un-gnarliness of this TR, and the fact that there weren't more pictures (we kept forgetting we had cameras what with the snow affecting our ability to breath and all). this is the first TR i've posted, so at least i have a very low bar to notch up for the next one.

first day we were up there, they closed the road back into town, so we were stuck at nick wilson's for cheapened pitchers and shots.

since we were uber-lame tourons, we were couldn't hang with all the locals in the previous picture, but we found a couple cool younguns to kick it with until the road opened back up.

at the end of it all, i seriously considered calling my work and telling them to find a new nighttime supervisor, because jackson kicked ass. for some reason, half the pictures got erased off nate's camera, and my dumb ass forgot the SD card the second day, otherwise i'd have more crappy pictures. you people who ski here are seriously spoiled rotten :D

Seconded for the best week ever. That Monday the lifts blew down early, we were all at Nicks drinking by 10.

Drunk enough by 12-ish to throw our skis on our back and 'hike' up Teewinot to the bottom of AV where we waited til 1-something when it reopened... that one run down Toga was the biggest, deepest shit show of ever....

I'm not ready for spring!!

Thanks for the Jackson pics. Agreeing with what has already been said, "best few weeks ever" [insert Simpson's comic book guy voice]. I want a powder day soon! Kush where have you been, haven't seen you in a while?
