Northern Rockies/Alberta 2020 Pugski Jackson Hole Gathering Trip Report

[AaronFM]

Exiting Tower 3 chute. Had a great time skiing with folks over the course of the week!

 

[Tricia]

It actually wasn’t KingGrump it was a different Bruce from WA. I had been looking forward to skiing with the the Grumps but it unfortunately never worked out. I’m hoping for another Taos gathering(I don’t think “mini” applies anymore) next season.

The grumps did a good job of avoiding me too!!

You've got to be freakin' kidding me. I still haven't seen one!

There were two at the Jackson base this morning.

Oops, I got a little out of control with my cell phone camera over the last couple of days with about 3000 photos taken and hosting through google photos. Motel didn't have the bandwidth to handle them. Now that I have a better connection I will try to post a few here over the next day.

Later I may do a dedicated thread with many more photos so that member subjects can peruse without boring the rest of
you.

Brad, a really strong skier and enjoyed parts of two days with, including the ride over to GT and back.

Dano is the man, the elder statesmen, and the skiing on the cheap sensei.

2/28/20 was a super clear and beautiful day at GT with very nice snow conditions. We were all mesmerized by the iconic Grand Teton view off the backside. I couldn't get enough of it and went by once more on my last run at 4pm. Dave and Justin.

Dave the Gathermeister.

George, a great skier and fine dude!

Justin again

Kara and Idaho view.

It was great to go to a place where we could boot-up in a real base lodge, not a tent.

Phil Pug leading the way.

More later.

Wow, you got some amazing pictures of Targhee, and the snow looked like it was fabulous! I cut my teeth skiing off-piste there, and that's why. So many ungroomed, not-so-steep glades and GREAT snow!

The grumps did a good job of avoiding me too!!

We worked the swing shift.

Few Saturday stragglers in the afternoon. Ran into @fatbob and had several good runs with himafter lunch. Mamie couldn't really see the phone screen and left him off the pic.

Tricia in what must have been the good part of the Good, Bad, and Ugly at Grand Targhee 2/28/20. Happy day-before-anniversary!

Great pictures! Other than a few turns with Pugskiers, I mostly skied in my own group. On a happy note, the trophy girlfriend who tagged along became the trophy fiance for my buddy Jim. The Tetons are pretty magical.

We are finishing the Gathering at the Wort Silver Dollar Bar drinking whiskey and watching the locals tear it up!

Nah I've been working on a nanotech photo invisibility shield. Great to ski with all the Saturday crew (even the beasting on the tree bumps and technically that makes 2 consecutive JH bashes I've made
