Friday, October 30th

First real turns of the season, for me.

With one elk in the bag, and a three day weekend on the calendar- and snow in the hills, it was time to focus on hunting some powder. I decided to do a solo tour around the base of Sublette Mt. on Togwotee Pass. It was cold snowy and very windy. I got some turns in though.

Looking down on part of my first run.

Looking back on a couple of runs.

Happy to have icicles in my beard again!

Lots of North facing tree skiing- other aspects were pretty thin.


Sunday, November 1st

Getting ready to head up Two Ocean- would seem right to start they season without it!

Two Ocean Mountain on Togwotee Pass

On top of Two Ocean, the Tetons it the background.

The snow was deeper- though it was good, it was a little wind effected and a bit creamy. Can't complain too much though, for November.

After few runs, it warmed up pretty good- almost too much.

It was so warm when I got home, I couldn't resist- I had to ride. Turns of another sort I suppose.

Nearing the end of a great day. Powder turns for breakfast and a road ride for dinner!
