The End of a Season

It's really a shame that Jackson Hole Mountain Resort had to close its lifts this weekend. Mother Nature ended the season with a bang, dumping a few feet of snow over the course of just a few days. Unfortunately, Jackson Hole is restricted to Teton National Park guidelines and has to close at a certain time every year, regardless of the current snowfall. David and I ended the season with a couple of really awesome backcountry runs, and I thought I'd share.

Cliff Drop Method
Nothing like a cliff drop method.

Soft Landing
Stomped it.

Looking Back
Perspective.

Pow Slash
Pow slashing.

Rock Springs Method
More than one way to do a method.


Hiking for Pow
Hiking for pow.


Testin the Landing
Testing the landing.


Drop to Trees
Gnarly drop into the trees in Rock Springs.

Nothing but pow out there...sad. At least we still have Teton Pass though. You can be sure I'll be making my way up there as soon as the storms settle and the avalanche danger decreases. What a great end to the season though. Wow.
