Booked Jackson Hole..January 19th-28th

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I just booked my Jackson Hole trip.

I'm leaving January 19th at 6:00AM from the Lehigh Valley airport..flying to Chicago..then to Jackson Hole. I'm spending 9 nights at the 49er which is in town..it's where Knuckledragger stayed last year. My package includes airport transfers and a 6 of 8 day lift ticket. I like to leave the other 2 days up in the air since I'll most likely ski a day at Grand Targhee with my friend Tom and probably buy a single day pass for the last day. I'm psyched to be flying out of Allentown instead of Philly. It's almost 100 dollars more but I'd spend almost that much in parking down in Philly and with Allentown my Dad can give me a ride. The total cost is just over $1500. I'm psyched for my 5th trip to Jackson Hole...only 39 more days.

As long as it's not dumping the day I leave..BTW I'm going by myself but my friend Tom who lives in Bozeman MT is coming down for about 3 days of my trip. I can't wait to eat some wild game, drink some beer at the Snake River Brewary, and ski some cowboy powder....Yee Haaa...:beer:

Sure thing..I can't wait until I get next months Visa Bill..:dunce: Jackson Hole is my favorite place to ski and since I can't live out there..I make it a point to visit every winter in late January.

I'm looking into going out in Feb, we backed outta the Banff trip last minute. Apparently a DUI is sufficient to keep people out of Canada. (Not my DUI.)

:lol: :lol: some people in here are not the brightest bulbs in the box :wink:

Well, since the tread has been bumped after a year.... how's living on the western edge of the Denver megalopolis? CSM is an awesome school. How many times to the Coors Brewery or Red Rocks for a concert? . Saw the Moody Blues and the Dead there..what an great place for a concert. Is getting on I70 heading into the mountains on weekends as bad as I have heard?

 

[Philpug]

A bunch of us will be out there too. You can ski with Finn and I

 

[kcyanks1]

I'll be there some of that time too.

70 is real bad unless your skiing Winter Park or Loveland. There are roads around this. Coors tour is now self-guided, walk right to the bar. I go every week or so, it's 1/2 mile from my house. I like Golden as a town, 15 min to the city, 5 minutes to the mountains, lots of stuff to do

V. jealous!

Love Coors, rep'n the alma mater. Maybe not the politics or ironic DUI, but certainly the making-buckets-of-money-selling-beer thing...

I'll be there January 24th-February 2nd..staying at the 49er again..
