Phillip: The Bubba Snow Curse

We got here a week ago Saturday. The snow fall for our first three days was 10", 3", and 1". Then Bubba and her clan arrived on Tuesday. The snowfall for the next week was 0", 0", 0", 0", 0", 0", 0". Then Bubba left on Tuesday and the snowfall was 3". Hmmm?

We got on the first public tram this morning at 9:00 and I was on the last tram of the day at 3:30. Both runs down Rendezvous Bowl were coral reef. The morning was particularly bad because the clouds and flat light made it impossible to tell where the bumps were. All the runs in between were excellent. Having some new snow made all the trails fun again.

This evening the boys and I lounged in the Great Room and ate chili and chips while watching the latest TGR film "Soul Purpose." They ski some of the same terrain as we do in Jackson Hole, but they jump off the big cliffs and land backwards.

Tomorrow is a backcountry tour with Mimi, Frank, and our guide Tom Turiano. We will be skiing in Teton National Park with special touring skis, skinning up a mountain to ski back down. We rented the special equipment tonight and packed our bags with emergency equipment and extra clothing, so we are ready to go bright and early tomorrow morning.
