Glad I wasn't riding Sublette...

Warm Weather and St. Patty's Day

It has been WARM in Jackson. A crew of us hung out on Tuesday at the top of the tram for beer and waffles. It was about 50 degrees and sunny. Not a bad day to take it easy.

Yesterday was St. Patty's Day- everyone went to the Snake River Brewpub to celebrate. Probably one of my favorite holidays, only thing missing was my corned beef and cabbage.

C-Chute Photos

Finally got the photos uploaded from C-Chute a few weeks back with Djamal and Alex. Here they are.

Snowing in AK

AK is getting hammered - Alyeska received 40 inches of snow since yesterday. Compared to our lack of snow and spring skiing conditions, I'm a little jealous...

Finished with my midterms... only finals in April left. Made it to the village for the last hour. Sunny laps on AV to end the day!

That's It That's All

Yeah, it's old news, but to those of you who haven't seen it yet, check it out! Featuring Travis Rice of Jackson, WY - probably the sickest snowboard film I've seen to date. Too bad this is just the teaser...

March is here

It's hard to believe, but February has come and gone and March is here. Overall, Jackson has been warm and sunny lately. It really feels like spring. Today it is snowing, but I am stuck at a coffee shop in town studying for my exam this afternoon. It's hard to hold myself back from skiing, but knowing that my college career is almost over is enough motivation.

Last week was Powder Week here at Jackson. Powder Magazine, a bunch of ski companies, and a couple dozen athletes were here to check out and ride next year's boards. Some of the new models looked amazing. Rocker and early rise are no doubt sticking around and are not only featured on powder skis, but now on a number of all-mountain style skis. Definitely looking forward to getting out on some of the new gear.

At the end of last week, I did some more exploring in Granite with Djamal and Alex. We went back to the C-Chute area and located some sick pillow lines for the future. Probably need a little more snow to hit most of the lines, but they're waiting for us. I took some photos on the old point and shoot... they will come soon.

[ One thing about spring- you can't beat relaxing in the sun at Casper with a PBR! ]

With all the warm spring weather, I've started to think about bike season. I'm not ready for winter to be over, but I'm definitely looking forward to hitting the downhill trails in Teton Pass. BBQ's sound nice too.

This is more crashing than stoke... but bring it on!
