Hooked up with Jesse and Ellis this weekend from Thrillhead Creations. Their trip turned out a little different than planned. Temperatures were ridiculously cold (-50 wind chill in the Tetons). Two feet of depth hoar with four to five foot hard slabs on top of that kept us off biglines. Then a storm moved in leaving us tent bound for a day. But there was plenty of time for camping, chillin', and getting a little bit of riding and skiing in. It is always nice to ride with new folks and enjoy the backcountry.

Finally, after two days of clouds and snow a little blue bird flew in:
