Winter Vacation- Grand Targhee (56k ftl)
 

Well today we got back from Grand Targhee in Wyoming. Andrew, me and 6 others made the treck out west. The drive there started off with a flat/ruptured tire around 9AM on 94 west, right out of St Cloud. What a great start to the trip... haha

It was smooth sailing after that till we hit bad weather near yellowstone, where it snowing pretty hard from 12-4AM when we arrived 22 hours later...

As for skiing and boarding, it was a great week! A foot of fresh snow when we arrived but it didnt snow at all during the week until the day we left. Lots of drunken good times as well.

The drive back sucked until we got out of Yellowstone and into montana as well. 35mph for about 130 miles was not so much fun.. neither was having a on coming plow cause a whiteout for 20 seconds only to end up in the other lane with a semi heading toward you after the snow settled...

Here are some pics!

Looks like a nice getaway.

Re: Winter Vacation- Grand Targhee (56k ftl)
 

nice!!! those are really good shots, what kind of camera do you have Peter?...i also love the paco mini me photo...

Re: Winter Vacation- Grand Targhee (56k ftl)
 

Thanks again Sheides (and Anna) for taking care of Paco while I was gone. That's a great picture of him and the Doberman.

It was a fun time hiking up to the summit where the lifts don't go, those ridge lines overlooking the cliffs are insane to be next to.

I laughed when I saw the jump picture, looks like I'm going to drop 10 feet and slam into the ground. Not sure why I'm sideways and hunched over, need to work on my form, maybe I'll land more then... haha.

Got back from Steamboat last night after 3 days of good skiing. It snowed 2.5 feet the 2 days before we got there, and the first day, it snowed half the day we were on the slopes.

All in all a great trip!
