We were obviously NOT the dumbest people in Jacskon last week!

Back safe and sound from a great trip in Jackson, although there were several avy burials, four lost folks in the JH sidecountry, and then this video shows up of a Montana local on a sled - sheesh....

Ice, then High Pressure + Swell = Ore Coast Surf Trip

This was just 'right out front' of the beach house yesterday. I got surf everyday while here this week, and right now, the forecast looks pretty darn good for the weekend...

Here's the ugly news from Bachelor

In all my years...

I've never seen anything like this up at Mt. B. I went up after the major NW Ice Storm, and found 100's of trees like this one - a "Lawn Dart" from the frozen top of the tree has broken off, and landed straight down into the snow. Glad I wasn't making a turn underneath Skyliner run yesterday... Even Sunrise Life (which was the only thing running for most of the day) apparently took some abuse. This is one of the chairs that ended up broken after the storm, and had to be taken off during the middle of the day. Another downed tree, near rainbow - Hundreds, if not more are down all over the place, Mt. B is working on clearing the runs, but the trees will be a dangerous place this year, as stuff like this might be below every drop. Be Careful up there! They "promised me" that Summit and NW would be open by 1:30 tomorrow...

Yesterday's Rippin' Run down Rainbow

Hiked the Summit yesterday before it opened later this afternoon via real live lifts. Good turns, including these above Rainbow:
