The last two weeks I have been to Jackson Hole with a bunch of girls and Scotsman Euan our filmer to do a podcast. There was Josie Clyde, organizer and photographer, Jenny Jones, the English sensation, Andrea Binning, Aussie freeskier and Lesley MC Kenna from Scotland. We stayed in Driggs, Idaho, which is an hour from Jackson Hole and Teton Pass is on the way to Jackson. At Teton pass we hiked a lot and also had some really nice powder runs. Actually we only had two nice weather days, the first and the last. We worked hard in the snowstorm and on the foggy snowy days, the pillows and drops in the trees were our shelter. We found a sick spot at Grand Thargee. I was so stoked to ride Jackson Hole, there are so many possibilities and the access to the backcountry is easy. I would love to go back there do all the stuff we couldn’t do because of the weather and the high avalanche danger. Josie had to leave us after 10 days to go on a trip to Turkey with some of the Roxy team. So Mike Arzt, my Helly Hansen team manager and Jake, snowboarder from Denver joined us. We introduced them into our peppermint-schnapps-car-shots-after-riding habits and mike cheered us up with car drifting at the parking lot. Haha, it was hilarious. At the end of our trip we built a nice kicker and we had a great session till Lesley hit her knee hard into her face. The result was a broken cheekbone. Next day we headed back up to the same area, built another hit and did some powturns. Andrea had really bad luck, when she did a nice turn she hit something hard under the snow and tore her ACL. We couldn’t believe it. Poor Andrea. But she even went out with us at night to have a drink. Jenny and me hit the dancefloor pretty hard till they closed the bar. Well they already closed it at two, that´s america too.
