Hit Jackson Hole today. It felt kind of small after skiing at Big Sky. Had some weird weather with a warm-up. Started at 16 degrees in the morning, and got up to 41 degrees by the afternoon. So conditions started to feel spring like with soft snow.
The mountain pretty much kicked my ass. Lots of steep trails and not much else. The blues and double blues ski like groomed blacks. The blue trails were pretty busy too, but the blacks and double blacks were lightly used. Lots of hard core skiers here and mostly guys. The base area is kind of Vail like with extravagant stuff.
Favorite trail for me was Amphitheater off the Thunder Quad. Had lots of variety and a good pitch. Lapped it about five times in the afternoon until my legs were fried. After that I wanted some easy cruisers to rest, but of course there aren't any. [emoji4] So instead I started lapping a little terrain park to work on my jumps.
Overall a good day and it improved my skiing, but man it was hard work. I can see why high level experts would love this place.
