Grand Targhee, WY 3/17/2013

All I can really say is “What a day!”  Finally got snow, which transitioned to beautiful sun-kissed views, and topped it all off with a night in the town of Jackson, WY.  Not a bad St. Patrick’s Day.

Weather impacted the drive to Targhee, so we arrived a little later than expected.  However, it was snowing real good when we arrived!

When we arrived, we were told that the two main lifts were not running due to wind.  I was none-too-happy!  However, we were here and went exploring.  Not knowing the mountain, sometimes we get ourselves into interesting situations…..like small cliff-bands.

However, this provided access to very nice snow. (Very nice considering they had only gotten about 5 inches of snow.)

Wind Hold ended by noon and the entire mountain was ours to explore!

Having ridden till 4, I would have to say it was a good day.  The hour drive home (over Teton Pass) was much more mellow

and entertaining.

We ended the day with a beautiful sunset

Jackson is a beautiful town, so I may need to stick around for a few days.
