Spring in Jackson Hole #7: Static Peak

Our last day of skiing in Jackson was truly a day that only New England skiers would enjoy. Our original goal was Buck, which seemed reasonable, as the mountains would be getting a decent freeze overnight. However, that didn't pan out. 

We started the day in 34 degree rain a bit before dawn. Yeuhi's photo. Note the camera is perfectly focused on a raindrop.

Here's a grouse on a rock. This bird is truly miserable. Yeuhi's photo.

Lower Stewart Draw to find the approach. We'd scoped it out a couple days before and approached in sneakers until hitting the snow line.

Spring in Jackson Hole #6: Laurel Canyon

The day after we got back from the Skillet, we slept in late and took a rest day. We did a little hike to check out the approach to Stewart Draw, for knowledge later in the week:

We hung around the Lupine Meadows trailhead for a while, gaping up at the routes on Teewinot. We saw a coyote.

We decided that Laurel Canyon looked like a good goal for our second to last day of skiing.
