Christmas Ski Trip Day 7 - Skiing at Jackson Hole again

We all loaded up to go skiing in the morning trying to get there in plenty of time for opening... it still took us a little too long and we were not there by the time it opened.   It was snowing... again.  It was beautiful snow in big flakes.  We had a much easier time this time getting up on the slopes.  Cameron and David headed up to the top while the rest of us girls skied the bunny slopes for a while.  Annika and I tried skiing through the trees on a little trail for fun.  After Joni and Chris got their ski legs we took a couple trips up to the blue traverse and did that.  It was fun.  At lunch time we got more strange looks when we ate our lunch out on a patio close to an outdoor restaurant.  The snow was actually quite wet that day and we kept getting soaked.
After lunch we decided to all ride the tram to the top.  Cameron didn't bring his skis and was really disappointed when he realized there were some runs with descent coverage from the top.  The view from the tram is really amazing!  We even saw a moose half way up the ski slopes!

Ali felt tired and ended up going home with Jodi, Chris and Holly while we all decided to ski more. We skied the traverse again as well as a couple bunny hills and then Ashling went with Joni and Samantha up the gondola to ski off there and Annika and I stayed on the greens.  Annika learned to ski quite well, she turns on a dime and it was fun to ski down the runs with her since she was skiing fast and well.  Eventually we got soaked and Annika and I had a cinnamon roll while we waited for everyone to finish.

Ashling had her own adventure with Samantha and Joni.  They skied down the mountain from the top down several traverses.  They had a crash on a steep hill between Joni and Ashling where they ended up hugging.  They had to stop for some hot chocolate...  it took forever and they were very tired by the time they got done.  But it was fun.

Cameron and David also had an adventure where Cameron tried to kill David.  He ended up calling mercy and skiing to the bottom after several steep runs that did him in.  We all met at the bottom and headed back to the house.  Ali had made us taco soup for dinner and we all relaxed after a long hard day.
