Effects of Global Warming Felt in Jackson Hole
Posted on Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010
Yesterday we awoke in Jackson Hole to fresh snow on the ground. It was actually a strange sight, after all the spring-like weather March has brought.
Last week, with the sun softening up corn on the slopes, Sarah, the winner of the Cloudveil winter 2011 jacket contest, made a tram lap in her bikini, as promised.
Her friend Sandy donned swim trunks and accompanied her as a wingman. The two “casually dropped trou” in Corbet’s Cabin atop the 10,450-foot summit of Rendezvous Mountain.
“When we stepped outside, we were both a bit surprised that it was actually pleasant outside (sans culottes),” she writes. “A guy named Larry took a mid-run picture for us, since neither of us had a fannypack for a camera. Because it was St. Patty’s Day, we celebrated the run with car bombs. Definitely worth a jacket.”
Sarah now has a toasty Hooded Inversion Jacket to keep her warm after her next bikini run.
Sandy gets extra props for wearing what appears to be an old Hartford Whalers jersey.
We’re still waiting on the video of Ashley, the contest runner-up from Aspen, boogieing down in that Sasquatch suit.
