Today here at TSS, we got something we have been severely deprived of back in Park City...SNOW! We, the Buffalo, were the only group that decided to ski agin today as opposed to snowshoeing, and boy did it pay off. We decided to wait and have our lunch latter, 12:50, in an effort to make it to Coyote Rock. On the way up, everyone was sweating and stripping layers, but once we were at the top, it was blustery and cold. There were spectacular views from the top allowing us to see the surrounding mountains until the storm blew in. The storm was the first real snow (not slush) that I have seen in a long time.
The snow is coming in.
A panorama from lunch. This does not do justice to the views we had.
Everyone was all smiles because of the snow; powder skiing!
Once we were close to the bottom, we stopped and discussed how animals, including ourselves, expend energy through conduction, convection (oven), radiation (cancer), and evaporation (crying).
It was a great day to be up in the Tetons, and hope to have a good last day tomorrow.
I don't think wolves and elk cry very often, but on our van ride back, there was some tears.
