Snow Way!

In the seven years that I've lived in Teton Valley and skied/snowboarded at Grand Targhee--this is the lowest snow fall season yet. Apparently, it hasn't been this bad since the 1930's! We can only hope for a rainy spring and summer to make up for the winter drought. Here is a photograph of me standing in the same place comparing the snowpack from last March 2014 to this years March 2015. Notice the dramatic lack of snow on the right. 

Another crappy sunset

Sunsets out West can be so dramatic and beautiful. I can never leave the house without a camera!

2nd Annual Great Snowfest

This weekend was the 2nd annual Great Snowfest for Teton Valley. It was obvious from the community support that it's definitely going to get bigger and better every year. The events were snowshoe racing, snow bike races, snowmobile motocross races, skijor races, old snow plane demos, ice skating, hockey games, figure skating, nordic races, a ski film festival and my favorite, the snow sculpting contest.

Oh My Fall!

Snowfest Snow Sculptures

How friggin' COOL is this? Pun INTENDED! Several teams have one week to complete a snow sculpture for a prize. Every day I drive past the sculptures to see the progress and creativity unfold. Some teams were outside in the negative temps working 24/7 perfecting their masterpieces. Impressive, to say the least!
