Jackson 2: 25 Short

Another highlight of the recent Jackson trip was skiing 25 Short again. Although we didn't get the phenomenal views of last time (photos here...1, or 2, or 3), the rotten snow we had last time was a distant memory. This was among the best 2500 feet of skiing I've experienced.

The snow is really working in our favor here.

 After a couple hours of climbing, we were up against our time limits, and near the top anyway, so we ripped skins and skied. Thanks to Mark for the next three photos.






Excellent light powder.  

 As Mark reminded us, this snow was about 5% water and 95% air, so this is as close as you can come to flying without wings.

 BOOM--documented face shot for Rosie.


Rosie skiing. Thanks for the video, Mark.

Mark's video of Pat:



 Shit eatin' grin!



 Rosie, either wrestling an alligator or skiing thigh deep pow.

 Pow.
