Five dollar muffins and other fun Jackson Hole stuff
Meagan and I arrived in Jackson Hole, Wyoming yesterday morning. We rushed to the airport to catch the 7:20 am flight and I pretty much snoozed on both flights since I was up late the night before finishing up work and packing. We got to Jackson, picked up the rental minivan (prelude to the Lexus?).
Then we headed to town, stopped at the Silver Dollar Bar for lunch, and I had a monstrous chili bacon cheeseburger.
After lunch, we drove to our condo at the really cool Spring Creek Ranch. Really beautiful location just outside the town of Jackson, looking out over the Teton Range.
Upon checking in, I lay down on the bed for what was meant to be a minute, but I guess I was still exhausted since I passed out for about four hours.
Making up for lost time, we headed out to a nice but pretty pricey dinner at Mizu Sushi.
Today, we headed to the mountain. We stopped for breakfast at a small café right near the hill - muffin, bagel, latte, mocha - $21. I remember Jackson Hole as being expensive, but that’s ludicrous - the $4.75 muffin took the…cake.
Hit up the hill, mostly skiing the Aprez Vous chair. They got about 3-6″ the night before and a few feet earlier in the week, but since I was on skis, we mostly took to the main runs, with a few darts into the trees to remind myself that I am not as good of a skier as I’d like.
We hit up apres-ski at the legendary Mangy Moose - I polished off a few beers and some wings, and Meagan had an over-the-top hot chocolate.
After that, we stopped for groceries, headed back, made some fajitas, and now I’m having a beer and heading to bed.
Gearing up for more of the same tomorrow, with the added bonus of fantastic St. Patty’s day in a ski town!
