Hello fellow Steemians!
The Tetons truly are a magical place! Many consider this God's country. There were so many days like this where a camera can't do the landscape justice. At the top of the tram you can see all the way to Montana! On a clear day there was nothing like that view. The fun part was being creative getting down the mountain. Paragliding or snowboarding were my two favorite, but mountain biking is a close third.
This is a pic of me on launch, I have my harness on and I am almost ready to go! Look you can't see my legs! (I took this pic by accident) LOL
In the lower left corner you can see a paraglider headed down the mountain, I was just behind him. Flying in clouds is quite a rush. The cold mist added a nice touch on a brisk morning. It was a perfect way to wake up, get a few laps in, and then go to work.
Yeehaw! Brown pow is always fun too. It hurts a bit more than the white stuff, but still a good time...
Snowboarding/skiing is by far the fastest way down the mountain. After clocking myself at 80 mph I decided to stop keeping track.
A tram goes every ten mins in the winter. Racing your own tram down 4,137 vertical feet is certainly not easy, especially in variable conditions. If you want to keep a perfect schedule on breaks then you have to catch every tram you take up. To get the most bang for your break, you have to make it down 4,137 vertical feet in 8 mins to ensure you can keep in time with the operation of the tram. : ) Who needs food when you have adrenaline!
