14.5 hours there, 14.5 hours back. That’s all it takes. It’s about 2 good audio books or 5 live Grateful Dead shows, both sets. We had other music though. Oh, don’t ever bother to listen to The Broker on audio CD, it’s terrible.

We followed the USFreeskiing tour out to watch and support our buddy Kevin O’Meara. Too much fog or cloud layer on the hill for the first couple days of the comp, so we didn’t get to see him run. Kevin ended up in 10th overall.

The first day we skied it was about 6″ of dust on crust. Coming from the Sierra’s, the snow is LIGHT. The following day, the “heavy” day we had, with 18″ of fresh reported, was amazing. Even thought I’ll take an 18″ Sierra powder day, any day, over the light snow in Jackson it was super fun to get face+ shots. The terrain in the image to the left is below Sublet chair. Sick terrain!, but alas, it was closed. You do hit rocks there. Just gotta be light on the skis you know!

Below is a video that we shot on the way out with my digital camera. Each clip is 30 seconds, then it’s all sped up 1000% and put to Immaculate Machine’s Jarhand. The song is funny with the little, didoodidoo diiidooodidooo keyboard part.
