Keegan, Tawny, and friends

A few days after saying 'goodbye' to Lauren I was saying 'what up' to Keegan and Tawny. After getting an early lap skiing the pass we headed out to pick them up. We actually saw their plane fly in over us as we were driving to the airport. Before boarding in Denver, Ryan told them to get ready to shred it on the pass first thing off the plane. I'm still amazed at how awesome skiing is here everyday so for them to just fly in and hike and shred the pass on a bluebird day with great views must have been unreal.

Although it hadn't snowed in over a week, the snow at the snow at pass was still relatively light. It was a great first day of shredding for them. And the traverse out wasn't too bad for the knuckle-draggers.

Skiing all the way back to the car was pretty convenient. Only a little sidestepping to do. This was next to where we were parked.

In the days that Keegan, Tawny, and friends were here we did a lot of skiing the pass and resort and plenty of hanging out at their house they had for the week. The main attraction was the ping pong table down in the basement where many heated battles were had. Just like I had taught Carolan and my previous PHA students a lesson, I put on a clinic. Unfortunately staying unbeaten proved difficult.

Showing them around Jackson Hole we went into the Blue Room, a boulder hut that's near the top of the Hobacks. Apparently after dropping down into pit under these massive boulders there is a way out down through the bottom and out the other end. I'm not claustrophobic but being that I'm not petite either I was all set tempting fate. I do that enough jumping off of things. Plus, I thought a baby cub was going to pop out of here anyway.

Unfortunately due to my work schedule I only got to hang out for a few nights and a couple days with our buddies. Either way, it was still good to see old friends and make new memories. In a few short weeks more Fidelity friends of Ryan will be out here for a bachelor party/week. That will definitely be a good time.
