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.

Heavenly powder

Yesterday Cory I skied what we deemed to be our best powder day of the season. With stability predicted in the avalanche forecast (ie a "low" rating), we set out for long, steep, unrelenting north-facing chutes ... that I've eyed for quite some time, just waiting for the right day.

We thought conditions would be good, we had no idea that they would be over-the-top, remember-it-for-life amazing. We're talking thigh deep bliss! It was so good that we blew off the "pressing" responsibilities we had intended to attend to that day to skin back up the mountain for a few more turns of heaven. At the end of the day we had no regrets.
