Another 18″ of powder made for a fun Monday morning at Jackson Hole ski area.

On Saturday I met up with Forrest Thorniley (a fellow Colorado splitboarder) and his buddy Mike to ride a sizable line in the park. The weather was awesome… sunny, calm, and warm. I was even able to hike the entire way in a T-shirt!

Forrest took this shot of me carving the ridgeline. The snow was a little bit sun crusty. It was ok on a board, but I’m glad I wasn’t skiing (as usual… hehe).
Check out more of Forrest’s photos from the day here.
On Thursday I went on an overnight winter camping trip up on Table Mountain, on the west side of the Teton Range. This mountain offers a relatively safe ridgeline route to the summit, and an excellent in-your-face view of the Grand Teton.

A hefty storm cycle finally came through here this week, dumping around 4 feet or more snow in the Teton range! I’ve been mostly riding solo at the Jackson Hole ski area the last 3-4 days, choking on knee-deep powder. I don’t have any riding photos to show for it, though; just tired legs and the sweet sweet memories.

We got a small dose of powder today after a prolonged dry spell, helping to stave off cabin fever and alcoholism for the time being. Rider: Jason King.

After a morning lapping powder lines at the village, we headed to the pass for a beautiful sunset descent. Skier: Richie.

Rider: Jason King.

We finally got some more snow here, so on this final day of 2009 we were able to make a few good powder turns. Hopefully winter will bring its fury in 2010! Happy new year!
