End of Winter!

Happy spring!
(Although it’s still snowing like crazy over here!) LOL
The week before last, my friend Kenny & I hit up Targhee Mountain Resort on the other side of the Tetons & boarded all around (I love a free ticket)! I also attended a bear awareness seminar to refresh on mountain bike guiding factoids & volunteered to work a rockin’ KHOL dance party @ the Playhouse . . . Also, there was the 1st annual pond skimming party at Snow King – so last weekend, people were going down the mountain & trying to get across a pool of water while doing some crazy stunts. It was a great time, however, I’m still taking pics with a broken camera (no viewfinder)!
On a sad note, I had to say farewell to my travel-nurse friend Andrea (she left Jackson Hole) — but, it’s awesome that I’ll see her next week in Seattle! & I’ll definitely chill with her in Hawaii when she finally gets a job in Honolulu 
On another note, this past Saturday was my last day of snowboarding . . . & of course I had an AH HA moment! I was boarding my best because I had finally discovered the “foot pedal” many have told me about. Watch out next year Jackson – I’m gonna be an awesome snowboarder yet! I boarded with a couple of girlfriends that day & then stayed for the free concert at the village. It was great, minus going home soaking wet 
& yesterday was the annual hill climb. Although it’s a bit red-necky, I still went over there for a bit, met up with some friends & rode the lift up to the very top to check out the snowmobile racers. The race involves going straight up the steepest mountain in the US (Snow King).
This week it’s work, work, work & then pack for my trip to the Pacific Northwest — Sacre & I are heading over to Portland, Seattle, the San Juan Islands and Victoria (Canada) with his dog , Trick. Yipee — a week vacation!!

Sledding at 55 + Tram to the Top!
March 16, 2009
I never realized how fast 55 is on a snow machine – woo!
Kenny & I took his sleds out to Togwotee & did the trails in the Bridger-Teton National Forest, Gros Ventre Mountains & also did the Continental Divide. It was fun being on trails & trying out the powder once in a while!
Yesterday, it was girl’s ski day out I aquired a free pass to go all over the mountain & I finally got to ride the new tram. It was CRAZY coming down the highest part of the mountain, but I did a bunch of fakey moves & was able to follow Andrea around. Once we got to Thunder chair, I just went up & down that a few times (mid-mountain, still pretty steep terrain in parts) & enjoyed myself! Then we rested at Casper Restaurant (also mid-mountain) & headed down for the day. Then it was happy hour at the Q with free wings, a hot shower, a hour nap & out to the Wort for a glass of wine & a slice of NY style pizza @ midnight!
In other news, I went to the kid’s rail jam & watched them do some crazy stunts, my neighbor Sacre raced in the Town Downhill on a snowboard this weekend, I had 2 important meetings business-wise, and I’m playing the stock market with my financial advisor – good times!
& although I still don’t have a way of sharing my radio shows with y’all, I should soon!

Fur Ball + Snowshoeing
March 10, 2009
In the last few weeks, I’ve had a pet-sitting gig — complete with 2 dogs, a cat, a bird, a mini-van & hot tub! Those days are over & now it’s back to the bike . . .
I did get dressed up in a gown & high heels for the PAWS Fur Ball event last Friday night which was fun. Plus, the event was a total hit — it completey sold out Afterwards (at midnight), Cat & I went out dancing LOL Bad news is . . . I broke the screen on my camera & need to buy a new one! & buying a new camera ain’t easy UGH
The next day, it was off to the National Park to try out snowshoeing for the first time with a guy that was visiting Jackson (& yes I toook pics anyway). It was so mild out I was wearing a T-shirt with my puffy around my waist the whole time! I am in totally in love with the sport & have to get my own snowshoes soon!!
