We were able to link up with her good friend Aaron for a great day of sled skiing up on the pass and out into Jensen Canyon. Good sled education to take North to Alaska as well as 5 great pow runs in the back country. Those machines can really rip, and it was fun to watch some people who can move them around.
We headed to The Village with AJ & Amy for day-two and out the upper gate into the resort side-country. I was able to snag two really solid runs, Four Shadows on Cody peak, and then after a long walk around the No Name Traverse and the back side of that peak I got to put some turns in Saint Patty's couloir.
Met some great people and had a great time. Can’t wait to get back to Jackson next year. I have a feeling this is the beginning of a long, winter love affair.
