jackson hole, wyoming
March 1999
this is what the trees look like at jackson hole...
me at the bottom of corbets...
chris and phil resting after taking the jump...
a bit disorientating, but this is what you see when you look over the edge of the intial drop off of corbets...probably was about a 20ft drop off followed by a 50 degree slope...i think "holy shit" were the first two words out of my mouth when i looked over the edge...but after standing up there for about 30 minutes we finally got up the courage to do it...
heres a pic i didnt take, but it shows where we jumped from...
heres another pic i didnt take...it gives you a better idea of how big the drop off is tho...this guy jumped off the opposite side that we did...
looking off the top of the main mountain...
mira, lindsey, marianne, and me on the top of the main mountain...yeah, im tall...could we have picked a worse place to take a picture?...i mean we were surrounded by beautiful scenery and yet look at the background of this picture...it looks more boring than iowa...
skiing down the main peak...the scenery was amazing...so was the snow...
we did a little hiking to get at some fresh powder, heres a pic at the summit of the headwall where we rested for a bit before skiing down...the main peak of jackson hole can be seen in the background...
fun run...bad picture...can you find waldo?...probably not, cos no one named waldo came with us on the trip...i think that small stick figure is chris...
phil, dan, charlie, and marianne skiing pepi's run...
riding up the sublet lift, wasting film...
dan smiling...
this is a picture the log cabin the 5 of us stayed in...despite what you may be thinking, this is not a picture of just one room of the cabin but the ENTIRE thing...it was more like a "log room" than a log cabin...small yes, but we still managed to lose the remote for a few days...
did they have snow?...this pic actually taken at a little resort near jackson hole called grand targhee (you can see it in the background)...we spent one day there and had a great time despite usually not being able to see more than 20ft in front of us due to a total white out...
us after eating our $15 lunches...no, they dont have gourmet food at the ski resort, they just rip you off...on the left (front to back) we have: me, phil, charlie, and chris...on the right (front to back) we have: dan, mira, marinne, and tim...
