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.

Last Pow of the Decade
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!
First Light on Mt. Moran
I woke up early this morning and drove up to Jackson Lake to check out the sunrise… wow, I was treated to a good show! The Tetons are so spectacular. This is a two-image stitched panorama.

Sun Dog
Today I witnessed an incredible sundog in the sky above Jackson Hole. People were forgetting about skiing and snowboarding as they looked up and marveled at the solar spectacle. So surreal… This photo only shows a portion of the magnificent light pattern in the sky!
Whumpf
It felt great to take the splitboard out today for the first time up here in Wyoming. We were out for about 7 hours, putting in most of a skin track and then scoring a powdery 3,000-foot descent. Due to the limited visibility of the foggy snowy weather, and sketchy avy conditions (whumpf, whumpf), we took it pretty safe and easy on the way down. This zone has some serious shredding potential and I hope to return again during clearer weather and more solid snowpack conditions.
