A Dream Come True

Jackson Hole has a tram.  The new tram in amazing.  It takes 9 minutes to reach the top and holds 100 people.  

The New Tram to the Sky

 The unveiling of the tram was incredible.  Right on cue, the snow began to fall as the new red box came down from the ski and the fire works began to blow.  It was truly beautiful.  Over 2000 people came out to see the new tram.  

The New Jackson Hole Mountain Resort Tram

I have always enjoyed the tram, but was surprised at how moved I was by the opening ceremony.  And the next day riding the tram to the top was even more powerful.  Not only does Jackson Hole have some of the best terrain in the US, it now has a tram that races to the top in nine minutes.  And it is just in time.  I leave in twenty days for my first competition in Russia.  I have spent the last week racing the tram.  The idea is to beat the car you ride up to the bottom. That means skiing 4139 feet in less than nine minutes.
