Day 10 : Day 2 at Jackson Hole

A much windier day today which meant it was colder and during the morning the visibility wasn't great. But we still managed to wear ourselves out skiing. The runs are very long which means lots of stops going from top to bottom. I managed to miss my footing going in for morning tea (something to do with having fogged up goggles and glasses) and bent my knee further than it wanted to go Not the reco one but my other one. Skied alright for the rest of the day but have been busy icing it tonight and hoping it is just a small sprain. Time will tell. We have had a good two days here, with small amounts of fresh snow each day to keep the runs nice, though some get a bit icy In patches in the afternoon. We have a rest day tomorrow, checking out the town of Jackson (did someone say shopping?) and then driving to Grand Targhee, where we stay for four nights. 
Tried out Margo's over the glasses goggles today - it is great to be able to see better but after half a run my eyes watered from the wind/ cold and then iced up my glasses so that was that, I think I need goggles with less vents so no wind gets in (as I ski so fast!!!) but that may defeat the purpose and they thn fog up. Just googled Jackson shops - as luck would have it NO SHOE SHOPS ;-)) you luck out sometimes (hard to try on shoes when you are nursing a sore knee anyway!) There is always a way!
