Costumes, Music and Mirthful Mayhem for All!

Best Snow in Years! It's been a season for the record books with 557 inches of snow (over 46 feet)!  This was the second-highest total in the last 13 years. We enjoyed top to bottom, wall to wall deep powder skiing at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort throughout the 2010-2011 ski season.

Closing weekend
Closing day at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort began in much the same fashion as opening day four months ago - with fresh snow.

Four months ago, the winter season of 2010-11 was merely a mirage in the desert. Visions of “La Nina’s” power turned out to be real. Abundant snowfall in November lead to the first wall to wall opening day, with all lifts and all runs open for the first time in history, signaling a positive omen. Closing weekend at Jackson Hole this past weekend, saw the mountain still open from top to bottom; covered in fresh powder. Remarkably, more snowfall is in the forecast!  We gathered to celebrate an amazing first year in Jackson Hole, with skiers & riders of the amazing type donning costumes as they rode their favorite runs! We carved one last defining turn into a chapter of our new lives as Jacksonites. To say we enjoyed it would be an understatement - it was legendary!

Celebrating the final day of the season!

 

Now it is time for this guy to head out to the ball park!



Everyone looked "dapper" on the last day!

All kinds of creatures showed up on the last day of skiing!



This group of skiers was anything but Chickens -
they flew the coop and soared past us!




A slice and a beer to end the day - nice!

  


Our final day of the season - turned into a bit of a blizzard!
We headed downhill to Nick Wilson's to celebrate a great season!

Four months of skiing and happy to report we are both "Injury Free" with plenty of fabulous ski days under our belts - Life Continues to be good in JH!

Interesting Fact about Jackson Hole:
The Wyoming Cost of Living Index for the fourth quarter of 2010 ranked Teton County as the most expensive community in the state with an index ranking of 132. (Thus the reason we are renters!!)
