In mid-December JB and I went out to ski some super light, springy, soft and downright fun snow in Grand Teton National Park. We climbed up and descended a mountain face called "25 Short," named for the fact that it's 25 feet short of 10,000 feet. We met super early, leaving up plenty of time to finish the day with a beer and pizza at Dornan's, a restaurant in the national park with amazing picture windows that look out over the whole of the Tetons. Here's a few images from the day.

| My new skis. I'm in love! I even told Cory he's lucky I'm sleeping with him and not my new skis. As a fellow skier, he took that comment as a compliment. They're the Icelantic Nomads with 22 Design Axl tele bindings. |

| We spent about an hour digging a pit to look at snow stability. There were a few questionable layers, but all in all this season as produced a fairly stable snow pack! |

| Tons of wind and snow on top ... not the type of weather you hang out in |
