The End of an Adventure

I have just returned home to Oregon. The adventure in Jackson Hole was a worth the 150 new emails that I recieved while I was away that are need of some type of response. Tomorrow will be my first day back in the office and my only day in the office this week. I will be heading to Ohio on business.

Anyways, the last day in Jackson was spent on the mountain with Daniel and Dylan Harkavy. We hiked above Apres Vous towards the Crags in search of some secret stashes of powder. And much to our delight we found some; not a lot, but we found some lines through the trees. After a few runs, the bright sunshine we started the day with gave way to clouds and high winds. We pulled in for a late lunch at the top of the gondola and feasted on a baked potato the size of a football.
After lunch, we strapped back on to our boards and bombed Gros Ventre for our last run of the day. No day on the mountain would be complete without trying to talk our way into the spa at the Four Seasons for a little R & R in the hot tub. Daniel, as he always does, worked his magic and we were in! The Four Seasons is a beautiful property. If you have a small fortune and are looking for a phenomenal getaway, this is the spot. The service is great and if you're into sushi you need to try the cowboy sushi with ahi tuna and seared buffalo. It is worth it's weight in gold!
I've really enjoyed documenting my travel adventure for family and friends to follow along. I hope you have enjoyed it as well. My next adventure will actually be bringing back to Jackson Hole at the beginning of March and then it will be off to Egypt at the end of March.
Today's photo was taken from seat 3A at an elevation of about 13,770. The same elevation of the Grand Teton which is very evident in the photo. Seeing this beauty, you can probably understand why Jackson Hole is my favorite place on Earth.
