Last month we went to Jackson Hole for 4 days of skiing.
We hadn’t been there since the mid 90s and we’d all improved quite a bit since then.
The mountain is steep. Weather was nice (temps in the 40s, 20s overnight), although a lack of real accumulation.
All of us got adventurous coming in for lunch on Day 1 and came down Lower Sublette pictured below in the background.
Day 2 Jane was convinced that the Hobacks, left side of above photo, was more skied over. It was mostly just crunchy.
Days 3 and 4, Ken and I would take Lower Sublette on the way in for lunch and at days’ end. I know I improved and really grew to love the run. Mushy monster moguls at the bottom were a great confidence booster.
Day 3 Ken and I rode the Tram and came down from the peak. Honestly, the view may be impressive (it was overcast, so who knows!) but the extra couple hundred feet wasn’t worth the time on Tram lines.
The little outpost at the top definitely had the “North Pole scientific research hut” feel to it with cold wind, snow blowing around, and it nestled into the bluff.
Below is the run we found that we really loved Days 3 and 4… Laramie Bowl.
The skiing was fantastic and has left itching to get back out there even a month later.
Can’t wait til next year!
