On the road to Jackson Hole…

In winter, Jackson Hole can be a long way from Park City, especially when it snows pretty hard and the wind is blowing, the 260 miles trip can be quite bad.

Along with Jean-Louis et Philippe, we left Park City under the snow and got to Jackson almost 6 hours later in one foot of fresh powder.

First we couldn’t find our condo, they all looked the same with names that were hardly legible, we got stuck with the car, had to shovel it out, and we we finally found our place, we had no better idea than to lock ourselves out of our unit, and had to wait one good hour before an employee, who was gone out of town could come and open up the door.

With no other alternative, we waited inside the car drinking a beer while waiting for the condo to be unlocked. It was night by then, and suddenly a big moose came close to the car and begun eating at some tree.

I had to go out of the car to rejoin the employee, but didn’t dare because I was afraid of the moose. I finally summoned my courage and the animal ran away.

Exhausted, we finally moved all of our belongings inside the unit, returned to the grocery store in Jackson to buy some food and then, finally, had quietly
a bite to eat at the condo...
