Watching and Waiting

It is officially fall in Jackson Hole and the vibrant colors remind us that winter is just another short spin on our axis. Everyone here is hoping and praying for a better winter than we had last year. And being an El Nino year, hopefully it will produce a season of epic proportions.

As a big mountain snowboarder, being in the midst of gnarly ridges and ranges is what I love most. So this year I have been lucky to score one of the best jobs in the world, as one of Jackson Hole's infamous Tram Operators.

During this past summer season we watched the Grand Teton and Cody Peak on a daily basis as the snow melted and then dusted our mountains once again. We dreamt of lines to ride this winter and mountains to climb in the summer.... and with a little luck and initive we will achieve those dreams of sickness.

So with the fall light dawning the approach of winter, I will wait patiently in the mountains until they are ready for the shred.
