Ted and I went out into the Jackson Hole backcountry on Sunday and enjoyed the bluebird.
Ted hiking out towards Cody Peak. I like to ski out here a lot in June after the tram re-opens for the summer months and the conditions and snow depth resembled June more than March.
Vintage Teddy Ball Game. This is why I call Teddy a great friend. He is always up for a good time, clearly. Who skis in the backcountry with a 6 pack of tall boys, that guy!
Marching out towards Cody Peak, always a nice, scenic walk if nothing else.
We skied "4 Shadows" which is the line just below the little skier on the ridge to the lookers left.
And yes, I do have a beard, and yes, the World Championship Hillclimb is coming this weekend to Jackson, so, chances are the beard will morph into a stache. When in Rome.
Teddy dropping in. What you can't tell is how steep it is. With how little snow we have gotten this year, this line was pretty steep.
Teddy searching hard for some sort of soft snow.
Ted getting some on one of Jackson's classic backcountry lines.
We were sitting in Cody Bowl having a "cheers to the good life" beer after skiing 4 Shadows and I snapped this shot of the guy at the top of the picture walking along the ridge accessing all the sweet lines. It gives great perspective. This guy was skiing solo, he proceeded to drop into that heavily exposed line above the cliff band and skied like a champ on the rock hard snow (fall, and game over!). We cheered thinking it was rather cool.
