Wow, our phirst day on the mountain.  By far the most difficult mountain I've ever ridden, and we probably only hit about 10 or 20% of the mountain.  The weather turned out to be extreme for our phirst day out.  We got a private snow boarding instructor for the day.  The smartest thing we could have done.  On our phirst run we took the Tram 4,139 vertical feet, over 2 miles long in about 10 minutes.  We were at 10,450 feet, and the weather was nasty.  White out conditions with zero visibility at times.  Well luckily we had the instructor with us, and he led us back down the mountain.  We didn't go back up there all day.  But we will be back :-)  For the rest of the day we took the Bridger Gondola and covered 20,000+ vertical pheet.  We spent of of the days doing gladed riding in the trees hiding from the winds.  This turned out to provide some heavenly pow pow powderrrrrrrr.

Sunday night turned out to be quite a quiet night for Team Testosterone.  We were spent.  

The storm continued to dump snow, not really massive amount of new snow, maybe 6 or 7 inches, but it kept blowing fresh powder all over the place.  Looking forward to hitting a lot of untouched terrain tomorrow (Monday)  Tuesday will be hitting Grand Targhee, which is about an hour half bus ride from here.  

Not all Mondays Stink :-)

Till Next Time.
