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.

A Little Ski In Big Mountains

A couple weeks ago my friend Marni and I went went on our own little field trip to cross country ski in the Park. (Grand Teton Nat'l Park) Wyoming, Utah & Montana have been enduring a month long high pressure system over our region. Everyone is jonesing for snow. We want to play in powder! The concern for summer water levels are beginning to enter everyone's mind. Hopefully this will be a super snowy March and April so we can avoid drought and forest fires this summer. Tell those east coast folks to send all that snow they are getting to Wyoming! We want it!

Defrosting in the Dominican Republic


A typical Teton winter can easily stretch into 8 long cold months. This is the second time we left the land of ice and snow and headed to the tropics for warmth and sunshine. It was the perfect break from the short dark & snowy days.  Having a getaway to somewhere warm was exactly what my soul needed to recharge and feel rejuvenated.

2nd Annual New Years Day Ski

Our 2nd annual, women only, costume party cross country ski on New Years Day was a blast. We geared up and headed for the hills in our faux fur vests, jackets, one piece retro ski suits and velvet fuzzy hats. We skied in a few miles to a perfect vista overlooking Teton Valley and popped open a celebratory bottle of champagne to ring in the new year. I'm pretty sure the best part of this day were the baffled looks we got from the 5 men who snowmobiled past us. Priceless!

Happy Holidays!

We woke up Christmas morning to nearly a foot of new snow with no signs of it stopping! We grabbed out boards and headed up to Targhee where we met up with about 20 of our friends who all shared same idea of how they wanted to spend their Christmas Day off! Merry Christmas everyone!
