Alex Applegate and I had been long overdue for a ski trip together.
I loaded up my sled and drove to Jackson, WY to meet with Al and some friends.
Busch, cold as a mountain stream, smooth as it’s name.
I couldn’t agree more.
Even with the skiing not being ideal, we still managed to have a great time.
Give me a 150 horsepower machine and I can put a smile on my face pretty easily.
2 of us (including myself) ran out of gas but that barely slowed us down.
I was having trouble remaining conscious so I quickly induced vomiting.
By this time, it was about 4:30 am and was negative 20 degrees or so.
Our pace slowed to a 10 mph crawl.
After spending the next day recovering in the cabin, we packed up and headed out.
I had never skied there, and was excited to check it out.
Alex mashes through the trees.
I was enjoying testing next year’s First Drop prototype suit.
I had never been there before and was excited to check out all it had to offer.
I traded in my 800 for this 120, sick!
Cooke City was getting some decent snow and there was plenty of good grey bird skiing to be had.
Alex is always ready for bedtime, and was just loungin' on some pillows.
I wasn’t about to let Al have all the fun.
More on this in the next update…
