My new ski boots...Although the weather has been beautifully warm and sunny, we are well aware that winter is fast approaching. After the initial panic I experienced when the snow began piling up on the Kelly Campus the first two weeks of October, I decided I had better embrace the coming weather.
Luckily, I was able to redirect my anxiety to excitement. LAst Saturday was Jackson's ski swap, an annual event where vendors sell outdated snow and ski equipment. Myself and a few other graduate students decided that a new hobby would get us safely through the winter; that new hobby is telemark skiing. At the ski swap I picked up a pair of telemark skis, poles, telemark boots, and that all important helmet. I also invested in a $20 pair of downhill skis and equally inexpensive boots.
With all of my gear in order and a few ski lessons lined up I am ready to embrace the 200 inches of snow that will most likely hit Jackson this winter.
