Tennessee in Wyoming!
I have never seen so much snow in my life! It's BEAUTIFUL!
I feel like I live inside a snow globe! And the best part? This is only the
beginning of winter here--and there is more snow to come!
Once it starts, it won't stop until May!
I just had snow tires put on my car! What a difference! I was sliding all over the place with my old tires!
On another note, I had my first snowboard lesson today!!!
It was a "group lesson," and the other 2 people were from North Carolina!
3 Southerners together, in awe of the snow, laughing, freezing, and falling all over each other all the way down the mountain!
It was quite a sight! Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, but I will have it with me tomorrow for sure!
I had such a great time on the snowboard! I can't wait to get out there and do it again!
I literally felt like I was surfing on top of the snow! It's really an amazing feeling!
Stay tuned! The pictures are coming soon!!!

A REAL WINTER!
This is probably the most snow I have ever seen and experienced.
Funny thing is, this is only the beginning!
I'm having an amazing time out here. My job is amazing, my apartment is cozy, and the people are wonderful!
However, I seem to be getting a little home sick.
It must be the holidays. I love getting emails from everyone! Sorry if I don't respond! I still enjoy hearing from folks!

No shave November! Just kidding.
Here is a view from my apartment. Then the road up to the ski hill (1 mile from home), and Yellowstone!
I'm in heaven. I love it out here. My job at the Mountaineering shop is wonderful. Its super laid back. My apartment I moved into is in a nice couples house. Its in its own private wing of the house. I have a loft and a wood burning stove. Two of my favorite things. The house is also sandwiched in between two farms. There are 6 horses, A pet turkey named Scarlet, 2 goats--Bella and Mayday, 6 mean angry chickens, and an amazing view of the Tetons. The farm on the other side of the house has about 30 sheep, One sheepdog named "Sam" and 12 Belgian horses.
It's like living in a petting zoo!
Targhee Ski Resort opened this past weekend with about 3 feet of snow. More snow to come! I'm so excited every time I see a snowflake. I have been snow deprived for too long! I'm so excited about snow, that I want to go out and make "snow angels" in the frost on the ground.

Salon Visage and Update
To my loyal Salon Visage clients:
You have probably figured it out by now, that I have decided to extend my stay out west. I don't know WHEN I will return to Knoxville. The great folks at SV (Frank, Belinda and Monty) have allowed my return to be open ended. I don't think it was a big shock to anyone that I have decided to stay out here.
My amazing seasonal position with the Forest Service, as a Back Country Ranger, ended late August. So I hit the road for a month long road trip alone. I had a great urgency to backpack and tour places that I've only seen in pictures.
I spent a week Backpacking in Glacier National Park. This park is hands down, the most beautiful majestic place on the planet. Next stop, Olympic National Park. Olympic was beautiful like a tropical rain forest. The ferns were taller than me! It rained on this trip (no surprise) and I fly-fished more that hiked on this tour. Then, I migrated south down to Mt.Rainier. I spent a few days there exploring the trails and proceeded to climb to the base camp (Camp Muir)of the mountain. Mt.Rainier was increadible! The views from Rainier were sick! I could see Mt Saint Helens, Mt.Hood, Mt.Adams and Mt.Baker. All of the volcanoes at the same time.
From Rainier, I drove up to Seattle to meet my sister Andrea and brother-in-law, who were there house hunting for 5 days. It was nice to sleep in a real bed and take all the hot showers I wanted!
Next, I left Seattle to head back east to pick Priscilla (friend and ole co-worker from Tennessee) up from the Jackson airport.
So now, I am working at a local Mountaineering shop. I love it. I found a furnished apartment, so I feel like I can pack everything into my car and leave at any time. It's a month to month lease! Its a spacious 1br loft at the base of the ski resort. I 'll be able to open my door and ski from there. It even has a WOOD BURNING STOVE!
Anyway, I miss you ALL! Please stay in touch with me! My email address is jereggio@aol.com
I want to know how everyone is doing!
