Jackson guys trip (with my wife too)

Sometime in late November we put a trip to Jackson on the calendar with me, my three brothers, and my dad. The plan was to stay and ski for a couple days and hang out. Well, as the time got closer, some people couldn't make it, so Jami came instead. I've skied at Jackson 2x previously, both for the Jackson Rando Race.

I was super impressed by that mountain and how steep it is! I loved it-That would be a really great home mountain to have. Friday was pretty bluebird. I don't really have alpine skis anymore, so I was on a bluehouse ski with dynafits. A couple of the holes had been reused from a previous mount. Anyway, I was skiing some moguls and crashed. I think what happened is the toepiece ripped out and I tipped. I looked down and the toepiece was still fixed in my boots! I had an interested ski the rest of the way down and had to swap skis for a snowboard for the rest of the trip.

With all of my ski focus being on touring the last couple years, it was fun to ride lifts, chill, hand out with my old lady and goof off with my kid brother.

Jeff is a pretty rad skier. Like Bode.

My Dad still gets after it in his late 60s.
