Welcome Spring (and Nadja!)

We were lucky to ring in spring with a short visit from my friend Nadja, all the way from Switzerland! Her and I used to race together in college at Montana State and so what better way to spend her one day in Jackson than a beautiful blue-bird ski day at the Village!

Her very first run we took her up the tram and she jumped into the famed Corbet's Couloir (awesome work girl!)...here we are in the cave half-way down the run.

And we are off...

Nadja ready for more.

Our awesome crew today and yes, I am using my amazing pink poles...
(thank you Marco! a wedding gift : )

With Trev as our guide, we ventured out of the gates and into the backcountry (Jackson is a pretty unique ski area with such amazing access to backcountry, at your own risk, just out of bounds)

So into Horseshoe Couloir we went, a steep and intimidating, but really fun ski with a small mandatory air in the middle. It is pretty gorgeous with the rock walls towering high overhead on both sides of you.

A better look at what we just skied...fun, fun, fun!

Nadja and I scoping another line on the way to the bottom. Good thing I have my bright pink pack (and poles for that matter) so Trevor can find us!

More soft snow goodness to the bottom.

Nadja, thanks for the visit, always fun to show a ripping skier around this amazing playground that we love so much. Awesome day today and maybe next time you will be showing us around Switzerland?

Happy Spring everyone!
