And I WAS enjoying my zen. First bluebird day I feel like I have had all season.  Legs felt good, Sarah was cracking me up, no lift lines, no wind.  Pretty damn good day.

I definitely didn’t need sunscreen in Jackson hole.

Doc said TP fractures can be very nasty so I was lucky mine was minor.  

Have a plate in my knee from mine.

CB stoke is always good but then I want to eat Thai as it reminds me of Ryce. 

How's the snow ?

Yikes. Luckily I did not need surgery, just lots and lots of PT.

@RidgeRacer we went to Ryce last night! Tried for burgers at The Last Steep but sadly sign said closed for the season.

Ryce was good but it wasn't better than you or your husbands cooking

Did some uphill at the resort this morning. Was -5 when we got out of the car. Started about 6:45ish. Sarah went all the way up to the top of Paradise lift. I stopped half way up. She was so much faster then me I felt bad she was waiting so I told her just to go. 

Had a boot fitting appt right after and got some sweet new touring boots! Can’t wait to rest them out.

Quick little solo tour on Snodgrass to test out my new boots. They have a cool feature called the Hoji lock system. You buckle boots in ski mode like you will go downhill, then switch the back lever to walk mode and all the buckles AND the power strap loosen. So you don’t have to fumble with 4 buckles and power strap for transitions, just flip up the lever, pretty cool! 
 

Just went up a mile and came back down. Toes numb when I got back to my car, not sure if the boots need an adjustment or it was just cold out. 
 

Skin track icy as hell!

The main reason I visit friends and family is to play with their dogs.

I just saw that the Blister Summit is taking place while you are out there.  Keep your eyes peeled for some pro skiers cruising around!

Got about 2” of snow overnight. The mountain skied weird today. We went right up Silver Queen to Paradise bowl and the snow was like cream cheese. Some parts were wind blown and icy, the fresh snow was very sticky. After 2 runs of that nonsense I told Dan I wanted to go over to the front side and see if it was better there. 
 

Skied some off the front and it was more groomed but still icy. Found the best snow off the Teocali Lift. Didn’t seem affected by the wind at all. But that lift is so painfully slow. Think it’s about 12ish min. I could only do a few runs there. Temps were cold w a brisk wind. When I checked my phone at lunch it was 12. But sunny. 
 

Only took a few pics off Teo, hands were cold. 

Dan still on the mountain. 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Nice report, what did you two have for lunch?  

[Barb]

First real ski lodge lunch I had all season so far. I usually cheap out and just bring pocket snacks. I had a Korean beef BBQ bowl that was very tasty. Dan had chicken fingers and fries. I stole some of his fries, I was hungry don’t judge.

Reminds me of when I crashed at my friends house and woke up in the middle of the night with the munchies…leftover ribs, an ice cream drumstick and I ate a bunch of his Japanese chewy candy which was hidden in a cupboard.   Reminds me of when I stayed at Johnny Styles Aspen house and the first night we arrived late and didn’t get any groceries so at breakfast the next day, he said help yourself and I searched high and low for something better than peanuts and apples and found a Twix bar in a drawer and asked if I could have that and he said anything but that lol.  
 

Right now JFDan is probably telling anybody who will listen on the bus to town about Blue mountain and how he skis the double blacks.   

[RidgeRacer]

I'm pretty sure Dan isn't thinking about Blue.
