Jackson Without Jared

Going to Jackson Hole for the last weekend in February has been the best decision of the 2009-10 season. As temperatures reached 55 degrees in Ogden and Salt Lake City, we ski untracked boot deep lines.

Since the resort was skied out, Trevor and I decided that it was time to go exploring a little further out of the gates than we've gone before. Cody Bowl's warm up lead us to go out to No Name and ski the face and down into the canyon. The next day we lapped tree runs in the Magical Forest, low angled, but fun albeit, and finished by skiing out Four Pines. The whole trip we only took 2 gondolas, 2 trams, and 1 chair ride. Every trip is different and awesome.

Something was different this trip; our group agenda changed from skiing the technical big lines that we usually ski to just finding and skiing good snow. Maybe it was the fact that Jared bailed out on the trip for a playoff hockey game in his league and wasn't there. Well Jackson without Jared was an amazing weekend and this video is dedicated to him to show him how much fun he missed.

All in all a good trip
