Jackson Hole- Gatecrashing Powder Week

Photos by Jock Gunn and Vanessa Aadland

For the second time running, Vanessa Aadland and I managed to make Powder week a part of our schedule. We weren't a part of any demo team. We were just there to ski pow and that we did along with the lovely Julie Weinburger and Jess Oundjian.

Hell yes we are tourists.

Firstly, we made sure everyone was wearing sunglasses. You need to make sure you have the right safety gear when driving.

cool rocks

We sufficiently partied the minute we got into town and then managed to gatecrash breakfast, which in some ways not the best idea as they did not have much to share other than pastries and man-meat. Breakfast of champions? Well it got us ready to rock in one way or another.

thumbs up to breakfast

team somewhere else

Following breakfast and a slow mission to the chair, we made it in time before the chair was open and following that we got one of the best runs of my season.

...and we were all pretty stoked by the end of the run

The next day we repeated the process, added some dancing and a day later we were on our way home to SLC. I think we have all decided that sooner or later we are moving to Jackson.

Here is some movie making we got involved in, Jackson Hole passed the 300 inch mark while we were there. Way to show North America who is boss:
