We had an awesome time this past week, it has been 3 years since I was out there last, and it was great to be back. Couple of things, umm, South Dakota is up hill both ways. Don't know how they did it, but, it is. And, it sooo far across that state. Bring sun block with you, I hate peeling and sun burned lips. Also, pictures and videos do no justice to how steep the hills are!!
Our guide was Nate, and he was awesome, really cool guy, our group consisted of myself, my brother, the Minnesotans (Eric, Kris and Dave), 4 guys from Illinois, and starting on Monday two yoopers, Bruce and his son CJ joined us. Our skill levels were all about the same, and we all got along really well. I didn't get to do much jumping as I wanted to do, but, maybe next time eh?
My brother and I arrived Saturday around noon, got our room, rented our beacons, and headed out to make sure our clutching, and my jetting, was good to go, it was, so we rode.
Starting to get into the snow.
Getting deeper
Awesome
More deep
C'mon Kimmer, let's go!
Here I fell off trying to whip a cookie, c'mon, give me a break, I hadn't ridden my sled since January!
Here is a vid of me with my first down hill jump off a rock. My instinct was to let 'er rip, but I started second guessing myself coming up to it. You can hear me gas it in the air to keep the front end up as I land. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afy5qK1FFPc

Scenery, sure is pretty out there.
Working on my first stuck of the week, my tracks coming up.
Stuck it!

We found the Minnesotans, so we were all playing around and I decided to climb this hill, and go up and above the tree, well, I guess I went up and into the tree! LOL.
Digging the pit

Heading down to the lodge, the Tetons in the back ground.
Well, I am fighting a wicked cold right now, so I am going to go watch sled head tv for a while, then will post up more pics later. I have lots of them.
