So the Jackson Hole comp didn't end up so well for team kiwi.
I ended up getting way lost and cruising off into the CLOSED area. And let me tell you this, when you ski into the closed area, you quickly come to realize why it is in fact the closed area.
I found myself standing on a tongue with death on either side and 100 or more feet of death below me.
It was definitely not on.
I had to hike out.
Zak skied a sick pad line and stomped all his features, but came unstuck and rag dolled in the crud in the bottom section of the venue.
Not the most ideal out come for a competition, but its great inspiration to STOMP THE HELL out of the Kirkwood comp.

Jackson Hole Inspection day
Today was inspection day for the Jackson Hole FWT Qualifier event.
So naturally we spent the day spotting RAD GNAR.
Getting pumped for day one tomorrow, snow is pretty sun baked so should be an interesting day!

JACKSON HOLE IS GOD
I skied 3 and a half hours at Jackson Hole today...
I have decided i need to do a season here. it is literally the best mountain i have ever skied.
Its amazing, its absolutely full of GNAR!!
Today I was more stoked than I have ever been in my life.
JACKSON HOLE
So after 9 hours cruising the open road in Freddy our little Ford Focus we finally made it to Jackson.
We rolled into town at about midnight, only to continue rolling around town for another hour before we found a good place to park up and sleep.
On comfort Freddy did deliver, on warmth not so much. I probably should have bought a warmer sleeping bag, to quote Zak Hogg "People have lingerie warmer than that thing"
But a little sleep loss never hurt anyone right?
even still I'm thinking a motel may be a smart move for the nights to come.
Any way I think its about time to go "Shred some Jackson Hole Gnar"
