Jackson Hole - Day 7

New Year's Eve!  Today is our last full day in Jackson Hole.  We have bought ski lift tickets and headed to the slopes at Teton Village.  Since I only handled the cold so-so on Tuesday, I decided to hang back and be the photographer.  Tina started out with her boots having problems.  She struggled with her feet and calves hurting.  We were able to switch up her clothes some and get different books and that made it somewhat better.   Peter did much better this time didn't fall nearly as much.  They even braved a ski lift that you get on and off of while on skis (as compared to the gondola where you walk on and walk off).  Rod and Peter each fell the first time using the lift... Tina was fall free on the ski slopes for the entire trip!

After skiing we headed back for some down time at the hotel before walking back to the square.  One of the lodges did a nighttime torch parade down the slopes and we could view that from the square.  We had a little more shopping to do and were surprised to find that many of the shops closed at 7:00!  Seemed crazy to me that it was so crowded downtown, a Saturday night, and New Year's Eve and they were closed....

Since we had so much extra time before our dinner reservation, we took some more pictures and then tried to get into eat before our reservation time.  We ate at a small Italian place that Rod like and the rest of us thought was just fair...  Walking back was COLD, but we made it back to the hotel. Not sure any of us made to stay awake till midnight in the mountain time zone.  We just joked that we rang in the New Year in the Central Time Zone.
