Ahh, yes, here's a good shot of upper Rock Springs Bowl, just outside the south gates of the Jackson Hole ski area. I took this photo from the traverse to Four Pines, another popular "side country" area near Jackson Hole. This, of course, was the traverse that I was trying to guide Kurt across when we got lost in the fog and ended up above the cliff bands in the photo. When teh fog cleared that day Space Walk, the long couloir just to the right of center in the photo (with the "small" rock in the middle), appeared directly below us, with perfect snow conditions. It's not too narrow, so you don't have to jump turn, but the near-mandatory air in the middle makes for a challenging descent in any condition. Good times. Thanks to Kurt for not freaking out on this one, even though I tried to hike your butt into the ground that weekend!

Testing, 1 2 3...Testing, 1 2 3 ...Wow, just look at what hiking in a helmet does to your hair. That's just terrible. Frankly, I think this photo is a little creepy, but oh well, I'm just checking out how this site works anyway.
This is, of course, me, at the top of the "escalator" boot back at Jackson. The background is the top of Rendezvous Peak with the tram dock and Corbett's Couloir visible. Umm....well, that's enough writing for a test run.
