After wildly stressful days, Rosie and I made it to Jackson on Christmas Eve! The day after Christmas we got out on skis, meeting up with MITOC friends Aaron and Anna. We skied up and down Shadow Mountain, a memorable mountain, as this is where we got engaged two years before. I've also mountain biked up and down on two other occasions.
It was really pretty.
Meadows for meadowskipping, which we did on the way down.
Still very pretty. Buck at left, Nez Perce, the Grand, and to Teewinot at right.
The final push to the craggy, alpine summit of formidable Shadow Mountain.
We skied, cutting down our many switchbacks through perfect, cold, 4% powder. It was perfect--we could basically point our skinny skis straight down, lean back, and enjoy. After about 1500 feet of descent, we popped out to the valley flats, and kicked and glided back to the car.
