We are at the top of a lift on the slopes in Jackson Hole watching everyone take off on their ski runs. Thanks to YouTube, I am able to stack these videos for all of you to see of what I, as a non-skier, am getting to watch for the first time in my life in person. Make sure you watch the hang glider who fails on take-off. Also catch the two- and four-year-olds learning their way around the slopes.

I am still proud of myself that I took the lift up to the top of the mountain without any hesitation. I wanted to take in the sights and not miss a thing. When you come to a town like this, you want to be a part of the community, even if you’re a “ski bunny” who mostly hangs not from a glider but in the lodge.
