Bob was his usual self showing us around the mountain, and being the good shepherd his is, we actually kept the group of 12 together for as long as we wanted to.

I have a ton of pics and will post later.

Great group of bears, just like skiing on EC hardppack.

I have a special picture of Phil showing his true self, THis is a shocker folks.......

i would have some to post but i left the sd card in my laptop.

Where is your laptop?

Blaze and I had a great time. It was just an awesome day. Can't wait to get out with you guys tomorrow.

it was in the condo. but I loaded pics in the AM and forgot to take the card out and put it back into the camera. No one said I was a genius.....

Stephan, Blaze is a great litle ripper. You done' good.

Thanks! I hope you get to see the rest of the gang this week.

Both of us fell asleep on the start bus on the way home! We took a 2:45 Tram. The bowl was pretty nice.

Phil sorry we missed you. I'll be in the shop from 2PM on...

No worries, We will be by. I would like to see your set up too.

Pic's coming in a few.

Awesome day!!
Skiing with you guys was fun, having Bob and Stephan with us was great. And yes, Blaze rips!
I've said it today many times, but despite the lack of fresh snow JH still dishes out some good skiing.

Phil - are those hYpercolor boots?

Here's my report: We got into the 49er today around 3 pm. Took our rookie western skier over to the Cowboy Bar. Had a Snake River OB-1 ale. Then walked to the Silver Dollar for a nice large Buffalo Brown Ale. Then had ribs at Bubbas. Back to the hotel to get sorted out for tomorrow. Had a little Irish whiskey and relaxed with the Man vs. Wild Marathon (still ongoing).

Tomorrow the 4 of us will go out and see who's got what. The other half of our group gets here tomorrow night.

I'll like to try and catch up with you folks Wed or Thurs. after we all sort out our own agenda here - (or after they all decide to ditch me).

Have fun!!

Pictures fixed above from day 1. Plan on getting more today. Although we are not having typical JH weather, we are making teh most of it with great company.

Love the boots......they are soooooooooo you!

Looks like you may be getting some freshies later in the week.

We will be at the Gondie for a 9:30 meet. I will be in an orange Arc'Teryx

I'm hoping for that early, it may be closer to 10AM... We'll scurry to Thunder ASAP

Major thanks to Bob Peters for spending the entire day showing us JH. The man can ski.
Also, rooming with Phil & Lola, ya get to see all the time he puts in doing the pics and posting.
Seeing Finndog kissing a mogule - Priceless.

notes:

1- Are these ever-lasting gobstopper boots?

2- FYI- 146-110-136 skis on hardpack are a lot of work.....

3- Note to Sking Mag: you're right, you can't carve in Dalbello's..

4- Props to Nick over at Tetotn Village Ski for working everything out with my Icelantics!

5- The Bears Rock!

Ayup.

Ok..... who's rockin' the "sunglasses with helmet" steeze?

Hmmm.... you must be trying to turn.

Common error.

goggles all the time with a helmet, it should be an unwritten rule.

cool pictures looked spring like. I was going to ask about the big skis finndog. icelantics would work in pa right now but not in jackson hole.

OK, so if anyone is wondering why there's no pictures of Phil, truth be known he took a private yesterday, apprently, it didn't go so well, here's a picture of Phil just after the lesson, he was incessently chanting "tip and lift", I think he took took PMTS to the next level, "Practice More Tipping of Suds".... We took him home and he seems to be OK this AM.,....

Looks fun. I'm in a very busy work cycle right now, maybe through the gathering as well, I haven't been skiing much. I'm going to try and get out a bit today. I'll try and hook up with some of you on the hill.

Oh, yeah, I am taking out the SS Mags and then my new Icelantic Pilgrims today. Would have started with the new pilgrims but had an issue..... Yikes, my first day on hardpack of the season, now why do people like that??? Is this J-hole or Hunter??

That picture of Living proof Rocks, and he looks cool in the shades!

BTW- the moguls are very tasty here.......

That is my two olive Martini face.

fer sure....... My wife says we got a about 2-3" in NJ.

Up top where it was soft, the Nomads ripped but just not fun on hardpack. Not there mission in life.
