Jackson Hole, Wyoming
February 20th - February 27th, 2005
In 2005, our annual ski trip brought us to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We
traveled with the
T-Bird Ski Club
who offered up a package deal too good to pass up. We stayed at the
Snow King Resort in the town of
Jackson located right at the Snow King ski area. By bus, we were only
a short drive to
Jackson Hole Resort
and only about an hour from
Grand
Targhee.
The difficulty of the terrain at Jackson Hole is legendary and it was the
first time there for both of us as well as our travel partners, John and
Lynn Thiry. For the most part, we found the stories to be true. There was
very little beginner terrain, some really nice intermediate terrain, and
mostly expert only terrain. In the week that we were there, we managed to
hit a good chunk of what the area had to offer and had a blast. Rasa even
managed to get in some para-gliding off the top of Grand Targhee. The
conditions were spectacular with a nice dumping of new fallen snow,
temperatures in the 30s every day, and blue skies.
