From North to South

Amy's ramblings. Once upon a time these ramblings pertained to my 5 months in Guatemala and Honduras. Then they followed the ebb and flow of my final semester in Alaska. From there things really went south ... to Argentina, Bolivia and Chile. After 8 months in the Andes, I fell back under Alaska's spell … working at a newspaper and wandering mountains. Now I'm somewhat south again ... in Jackson Hole, WY, teaching ski school on the clock and making fresh tracks off the clock.

Sweet powder

Phenomenal, incredible, amazing, sweet! These words all aptly describe my last 3 days of skiing. It started snowing on Wed. night and intermittedly continued through yesterday! For 3 straight days I left my tracks in bowls of fresh powder, and skiied in good company. Mike (who is living in the same house as me and is on the left in the pic below) and I skiied together, at times sharing our lines with Sephen and Joan. Yesterday, with most of the lift access areas pretty skied off, we put on the skins and headed up to Nubes -- a lift that's only been only been open once for 2 hrs. the whole season (that's Argentina for you) and that accesses some of the best pitches on the mountain. I think we made some people jealous because shortly after our first drop, others started heading the same direction!
