Got my boots back...

Len — 2007-06-11T09:17:58+00:00

A long time ago, in a valley far far away... Delta ate my ski boots, well, I arrived at Denver and my ski boots didn't. I bought some new ones (something that I was intending to do anyway at some...

La Grave trip cancelled

Len — 2007-04-04T07:09:15+00:00

I was supposed to have driven out to Morzine yesterday to ski with Phil for a couple of days before our La Grave off-piste weekend. Unfortunately I've come down with gastric flu or something and can barely get out of...

Week 16

Len — 2007-03-10T10:10:25+00:00

My last week as the Ski Club of Great Britain Rep for Jackson Hole and this week felt like a real week of repping as I had a slightly more 'normal' mix of members rather than the two weeks of...

Game over

Well, that's it for Jackson Hole. I'm heading home today. One more ski trip planned for Easter in La Grave and then that's it for the season....

Two for the price of one

The guy who's replacing me as the Ski Club rep here in Jackson Hole, and who'll be here for the next 3 weeks, arrived today and skied with us today. Apart from that, the group was the core of 4...

Snow!

Len — 2007-03-08T20:12:17+00:00

When I went to get the bus from Cowboy Village to the Jackson Hole base area at Teton Village this morning it was raining... At first it looked like wet snow, but as I stepped out of the cabin it...

Another warm day in Jackson Hole

Len — 2007-03-07T21:01:05+00:00

Today was warm again, not quite as warm as yesterday, but still spring conditions. I skied with the 5 members that I skied with yesterday and earlier in the week; the 'new' three that joined me yesterday didn't show today....

Rinse, Repeat...

Len — 2007-03-05T19:54:34+00:00

Today was much like yesterday. I had the new member from yesterday and three new guys that I've never skied with. The guy who skied with me yesterday and also last week had a lesson today and will probably be...

Exploring Jackson Hole...

Len — 2007-03-04T20:32:24+00:00

Today I tried to cater for all of the members skiing with me, rather than just the stronger ones... As you may recall from last Sunday's posting I had allowed the Spirit of Jackson Hole to get into my repping...

Week 15

Len — 2007-03-03T22:53:30+00:00

This week started with a bit of a standard beginners repping error; I failed to ski to the advertised standard, which is fine if everyone is above the advertised standard, but I'd misread one of the member's abilities and pushed...

Blue skies, steep, deep and fast

Len — 2007-03-02T18:51:23+00:00

Today was a blue sky day, it was cold, colder than yesterday according to the morning forecast, but the sunshine and lack of wind meant that it generally felt a little warmer. Today was an advanced/expert day so we headed...

No visibility, very cold, stayed in the trees

Len — 2007-03-01T20:49:07+00:00

It was snowing today and the visibility was poor and it was cold... We started with a run down in the fresh snow on the pleasantly groomed Werner off of Apres Vous. Next time down we did the off piste,...

Blue skies and lower faces

Len — 2007-02-28T18:29:38+00:00

This morning the skies were blue and it was rather cold. A lovely crisp, clear day that kept yesterday's snow in good condition and allowed us to explore the lower faces in Jackson Hole; things like the Hobacks which often...
