Jackson, WY Days 4,5,6
[Update 3/18/2008]Hmm it was brought to my attention due to one of my many readers (Must be at least 4 of you now!) that I never finished my Jackson Hole vacation posts. I dug in and saw that a forgot to publish this last story. So the below is weeks old now.[/Update]
Day 4 -Grand Targhee
This day we decided to drive to the far side of the Tetons to Grand Targhee mountains. This is a smaller resort than Jackson Hole but has some great powder skiing available. We arrived a bit after 10am and it was a gorgeous day, clear and sunny. Not much to comment on other than I was feeling better and got in some good powder runs. There are also a natural terrain park that we stopped at and tried to capture some video but failed at it. About 4pm we called it a day and drove back over the Teton Pass home. Here is a link to a picture from the top of the mountain.
Day 5 – Jackson Hole
This was our last day of skiing. No new snow fully groomed trails but hard packed off-piste skiing. I had a great time skiing on the groomed runs today and was in great spirits and did not get tired despite 30-40 minute runs. I wish I felt this good on Day 1 and 2!
The bad part of today was as soon as you got off the groomed trails the snow turned to crap. It was hard, crusty and stopped you dead in your tracks. Falling hurt so I stuck to the groomed runs most of the day. Here is a shot of me close to the top of the mountain.
Back to Mangy Moose for a quick drink or two and back to the hotel.
Day 6 – Flight home
Not much to say other than the flight was uneventful but we got home to a snowstorm. We brought the snow home with us! So the taxi from the airport to Matt’s house took over an hour and then my drive home from there took another hour. Ugg. Home now and recovering. Dang, I need a vacation!! Only two years to the next ski trip.
