Start Your Engines

by randosteve June 4th, 2011

Your outboard motorboat engine that is!

Crossing Jackson Lake.

I’m heading across Jackson Lake right now for a weekend exploratory mission with Randokitty and friends. It’s been pretty warm lately, with breezy and gusty conditions predicted (which can make crossing the lake tricky in my little boat) over the next few days. Luckily though, lower temperatures are also in the forecast, along with mountain snow showers, so hopefully ski conditions will be good for some fun skiing. Have a great weekend!!!!

Did it freeze up high Sunday/Monday? Seemed very warm from snotel info.

dan…a guided ski descent of the east face of buck mountain today reported perfect corn at 6:30am. so maybe a slight freeze.

This appears to be the real kinda “launching”. Nice use of drift boat!
