Saturday marked the beginning of my skiing trip to Jackson, WY. It started with me being ripped from my dreams by my alarm clock at 3:30am. After quickly getting dressed and taking the dog out I was off to Savage to meet Matt at his house. Jennifer graciously drove the three of us to the airport.
We made it through the security check points w/o incident and at 6:10am we were off to our first destination Salt Lake City. Once there we had a 3 hour layover and stopped off a small pub for breakfast and barley pops. This place sure had creative names for their locally created beer as you can see in the image on the right.
So after a quick 40 minute flight from Salt Lake City to Jackson, WY we arrived. However during that flight I started to have a bad hacking cough. I knew that in order to ski I would have to take some drugs to get the cough to stop.
After obtaining our luggage we picked up our rental SUV, and checked into the hotel. A quick trip from the hotel to the grocery store got me the drugs I hoped would help me through skiing this week. I took some non-drowsy cough medicine and hoped for the best.
The picture to the left was taken from the smaller ski hill in downtown Jackson called Snow King. It shows some of the mountains in the Teton range. Looks beautiful.
After skiing for a few hours I started to feel dead exhausted and the cough medicine really did nothing. I decided to wait out the rest of Matt and Nate skiing in the lodge.
With my fever developing and starting to get the chills we got a quick burger from Billy’s Burgers and went back to the hotel. I took my nightquil medicine and hit the bed around 9pm. A disappointing start to my vacation.
