This is just an outline, I'll flesh it out into a excrutiatingly long report later.
8:40 Beat the buses to the tram line
9:00 Make the 1st public tram with 2 places to spare
9:12 Mimi and Frank visit Corbette's Cabin. I listen to ski guide describe options to his group.
Option A - Four Shadows
Option B - No Shadows
Option C - Hike back off the ridge
9:20 ski across the bowl and check transceivers before heading OB
9:32 put skis on pack and begin hiking
pass guide calming a gripped client on the rocky ascent
9:57 past the crux, begin slogging up the ridge
10:20 Mimi drops into Four Shadows. Then Phillip, then Frank
traverse across the avalance debris off Cody Peak.
570 steps up Cody Bowl. Brain is short of oxygen. No idea how much time has passed.
ski traverse under cliffs and chutes (Once is Enough, Twice as Nice).
catch a tip, and hug the wall.
goof again and fall off the high traverse. Frank helps me side step back up.
see a skier jump the cliffs we will have to traverse above to No Name Peak.
ski No Name Face. Choose the run out that goes between a couple of big rocks
ski out Pinedale Canyon. tired but this year I have enough in reserve so I don't thrash my way home through the woods. Only one mishap where trail dips, and hangs a sharp right next to a boulder. Snag my ski and tumble.
1:00 Back at Teton Club for lunch and lassitude. My best ski day ever. The kids report that skiing in bounds was so bad they quit early and did homework instead.
