Packing It All In

This little 3 week window right now in late March/early April always manages to be some of my favorite weeks of the whole year. The Days are long and the snow is still falling. Yesterday I went up on Teton Pass early in the morning to ski before work and was treated to a beautiful sunrise.
Jackson just set a 24 hour record for snowfall Monday to Tuesday with 29 inches of snow in a 24 hour period!

Easily the best way to start ones day.


I worked all day, and then busted out of work at 5 and headed up north of town to go snowmobiling. The snow had settled a bit with some warm weather, but it was still awesome squeezing in skiing and snowmobiling in the same day with a full day of work in between.

What it's all about. Tim ripping.

Shot of me carving in the pow. We rode up Shadow Mountain which is a tiny sliver of National Forest land sandwiched by Wilderness, Elk Refuge, and National Park Lands (all places where sleds are not allowed).

Me busting through a cornice at the end of the ride, just before dark.

Powder, nobody around, throttling at 8pm with a pretty sweet backdrop. It doesn't get any better!
