Great snowboarding today!

Here's a picture of my season pass and me on the lift. Today was a great day!

Learning to snowboard!

This is my 6th time EVER on a snowboard--hence the slow speed.
It's and absolute blast!

Sorry about the bad cameraman!

SO MUCH SNOW!!!

The first picture is of my friend Christina and I. The second is where I live, and the third is of the cross country ski track just down the road from my house/apt. The snow here is amazing! It's so powdery and dry! We have had 282 inches of snow so far this season! I have NEVER seen so much snow in my life! I am in snow heaven! It's so beautiful! However, driving in it? Not so fun! I'm a transplant from Tennessee, getting thrown right into learning how to drive in snow/ice, ski, snowboard, WALK, and deal with the snow and extreme temperatures. It was negative 7 when I woke up this morning! I'm sure it was even colder than that last night! The coldest temp so far was negative 26 degrees! OUCH! But the best part of living in a ski town, is, no one lets the cold weather stop them from playing outside, wheather it's snow shoeing, skiing, cross country skiing, snowboarding, etc. It's pretty awesome out here.

Snow living room and Campaigning on the Teton Pass

The snow living room posted this sign on Inauguration night, and weeks before these folks (not me--i had to work) were campaigning on the Teton Pass. BRRRRR! Brave souls...

Good bye sweet Maris, I will miss you forever.

Maris, passed away 2 days before Christmas. She was nearly 16 years old.
I will always miss her terribly.

Bruised my tailbone today! My whole body hurts.....

Targhee Ski Resort

These are just a few from this morning.
The base depth of snow is 62 inches with 14 inches of fluffy powder snow on top!
SO FUN!

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!
