Sunrise, 2005

Daisies

 

Are supposed to be white. Apparently some people like to keep things as far from nature intended as possible.

Bridger

This was Aaron's first run ever off the ridge.







The northwest flow is still going strong out there, we've got a Winter Storm Warning till tomorrow. . .

Jackson Hole

I went there last weekend and snowboarded Friday-Sunday. I have a 6 day pass there that I got for a price too good to refuse, but while I was down there I was introduced to how easy it is to ski there for free by using the tickets of flat-landers who couldn't handle more then a few runs. "Ticket clipping" in Jackson is unusually accepted by the ski area and is therefore a very popular way to start skiing for free around 11 am without buying a 77 dollar ticket.

The snow was exceptionally good, it snowed 50 inches in the 5 days before we got there and snowed 10", 10" and 8" the three days we were there. We spent a lot of time in the Slackcountry but were very careful because the avalanche danger was considerable because of all the new snow. I didn't stop much to take pictures, but here are a couple.





The strange orange things on the left shoulder straps of their packs are mouthpieces for avalaungs built into their packs. Not a bad idea, I may have to get one of these at some point.
