So yesterday was the C.U. snowboard teams first day in Jackson Hole.
The team arrived the day prior Monday, after a nice 9 hour drive
starting at 4:30AM in boulder. Any ways we rolled up to the mountain at
8:45am hoping to catch first chair. But due to the lift ticket
situation and long lines I didnt get on the slopes till around 10:30
but then it was game on. We jumped on the tram and headed to the top
ready to rip the fresh light snow. It had been dumping all night and
morning so the snow was so so good. We followed a Jackson local out of
bounds and to some of the sickest snow ever, we went across a sketchy
open face and then down perfect untouched waist deep powder. After the
nice open field it was into the trees for just tons more perfect snow.
A few more tram runs and then onto an unwanted lunch with the team, and
back to the mountain. Decided to switch it up and head to the other
side of the mountain to hit some stuff off Apre Vous. We hit some
really good lines on boundary line, so stuff that we had found 2 years
back. We did some more party laps trought there and then headed back to
the tram around 3PM, tram laps were pretty sick in that they would take
about an hour, involved a bit of hiking and always had perfect snow.
Got done with the tram runs around 4:10PM and was very ready to get
back and ice the knees. Oh also in between lunch and Apre Vous I took
one lap through the baby park which involved a 6ft bs 720 to heel catch
to concussion. apparently I was knocked out for a few seconds and then
came back saying I was knocked out. Pretty exciting little event.Back to the house to rest up and get the legs back for the next day.
