This photo is from my first trip to Jackson Hole.

Boy did I time my first trip there right.

We rolled into town fresh off a 50" storm to bluebird conditions.

Conquering Jackson Hole

It was me, Billy Poole, Cody Barnhill and photographer Will Wissman.

So Will called me off the line and told me to stop.

But I wanted to ski the face and flip the cliff in one continuous line.

Lucky for me, it snowed a bunch more over the next few days.

After another 20" fell and another bluebird day presented itself, we went back to this cliff.

Billy joined me this time.

He did things that boggled my mind routinely.

I skied up to them and they gave me a warm greeting, made me feel like home.

I was happy to see Billy up there with a confident stance, and confident radio talk.

He was ready and announced he was ready to roll.

We all went for beers at the base of the resort.

What a great trip to Jackson.

The resulting photo landed me a Photo Annual spot in Freeskier Magazine.
