At the airport.....all good. Sharing a cocoa with nmski.

I'm getting excited for this week-long trip report of all the bros getting their meat on in the Tetons.

My friend sent me some more pictures thought I would share. Descending the gorge right before it gets spicy. Our guide. Conrad Anker For Doug Telluride Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Salty it's not too late to book a last minute flight and come out here. The RTMs are perfect skis for Jackson hole.

I have a feeling tomorrow could be pretty good. JFDan and NMskis first day at JH will be a pow day,

Have a great trip to all who are going! Get an extra breakfast sandwich on Wednesday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dumping in town. Near whiteout on the mountain.

Could've used a little toast to go along with that meat.

Did you shake your head?

I honestly didn't even know he was still alive. Warren should inspire everybody not to work too much and follow your dreams.

Safe flight tomorrow. See you all in a few days

Bet its real clean too

Like how x-ing and crossover are blacks lol.

Sure. Details aren't out yet about price, amount of visits per resort, etc. Depending on where you normally ski, or do multiple trips out west this could be a no brainer. Like Jeff going to Jackson and Aspen. Just something to keep in mind and keep an eye on once details are released.

Flakes flying.

Made it!!!

I always loved watching his ski movies, especially the older ones that he filmed and narrated. his commentary was just the best.

So myself and 7 fun ladies drove down to Ouray for the Ice Festival again this year. My clinic this morning was a total shit show. Our guide was great, has an amputated leg below the knee and had climbed Everest earlier this year. It was a novice class and he wanted to demonstrate some techniques on the wall. He asked who knew how to belay. I know how but always get the double figure 8 knot screwed up so I didn’t jump up to volunteer. The only guy in our class was from Florida. From the way he was talking I could tell he claimed to have much more knowledge than he actually did. He spoke up right away. As soon as he got in the rope I saw how much slack was there. I said to my friend “Look at all that slack, does this guy know what he is doing?” I told her I didn’t want him belaying me at all that day. The guide was only about 15+ feet up; I didn’t see how he fell but he slipped and the belayer did not catch him. He fell hard! My friend was videoing in her phone and he landed weird on his leg and knee and immediately said he was not ok. The asshole that caused this did not apologize and asked the guy if he wanted any weed. The guide was holding his knee and you could tell it was really bad. They had to lift him out of the gorge with ropes and the ambulance took him away. He wasn’t lifted out right away, but for the next 30 min or so our group was kind of like, “Ok we’ll do we get to climb?” Another guide came over and told us to just belay each other, in a fucking novice class! I went over to her and said the guy who dropped the guide should not be belaying at least not without more instruction. So she went over to him and told him to make sure he held he rope tight! WTF?! We finally got a little time on the wall but only about 15 min each. The guide belaying ya was texting and not paying attention at all. Now maybe she was relaying info about the hurt guide, but still. When we climbed out of the gorge we went to the info booth and voiced our displeasure at how the morning was handled. The clinics are $75 so we thought we should get some kind of compensation. They didn’t seem to want to do much for us and finally offered a free clinic next year. I was ok w that since I will be back. But then I asked him how we claim our freebie. He reluctantly gave me his card. The whole thing was not handled well at all. There is a practice wall so we ended up going over there after lunch and getting some climbs in which was nice. Snow tomorrow and heading to Telluride. Our guide being prepped to lift. This is the gorge you walk down. Steeper than it looks. Fixed ropes on the sides. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

your welcome and anytime!

I was thinking of sharing a burrito with nmski.

Eat at Gas Monkey. Your flight to JH will hate you. Don't ask how I know that.

This is legit Tits Mcgee and Ouray is redonk gorgeous....shame about telluride but it just hasn't snowed,

You are quite the odd couple.

Atomic Jeff will start a new thread. On the plane with somebody who moved to driggs Idaho from the poconos three years ago.

Just checked in at Newark airport. Wheels up at 930am arrival around noonish.

Have a great trip guys.

Yes, we skied mad rain here yesterday. Contractor bags kept us dry, except for our arms. Still had fun. 🙂

Having fun here

Huh, I love skiing alone, but get bored on the lift sometimes. iPod + pocket beer makes it tolerable. If I were alone with just my own thoughts, I would brood too much. Anecdotal observation: In the mornings, people tend to be chatty on the lifts, which passes the time. In the afternoon and evenings, hardly anybody talks to anybody else. Either way is fine with me, but it's a funny phenomenon.

How does this forecast look??

Why don't you two just text each other? This constant shit is getting old.
