Couldn't justify the $91 for Jackson Hole leftovers, so we hit the 'ghee for $35 a pop (thanks to kneel turner). Ripped 20k of groomers before hiking out of bounds to Mary's and the peak beyond, met up with a large (~20) party of locals in the bowl east of the resort. The bowl had pretty much any size cliff to huck, from 5 footers to J.P.'s 2XX' cliff, just out of the resort boundary. The first run was good to assess the stability, and after that it was game on for all the cliffs, and after a few more runs Brian and I were confident in hitting a good 30' cliff to the peanut gallery below; the runout was an awesome 500' of stable powder. We were quickly shown up by the breck' skier who hucked a front flip off a 35' cliff. The worst part: he was a tele skier. Ouch.
Nice work!  Looks like a fun 7-letter day!  :)

Nah, that was the BEST part.   8)

Looks great.  We'll be there in a week or so.

A tele specific/appropriate sticker should be seen soon on mine and Chmnyboy's skis ;)

The "I am so envious that you tele" sticker?

Love that one...

psyched to see you guys are having good times in jhole!
