Our kids are getting used to Targhee. Maggie is now searching for powder off the bunny slope through the Eyeball Forest. Brady and Connor obsess about a run called Screaming Cheetah which is the upper Mill Creek gully complete with rollers, log obstacles, and drops. They will take these runs over and over all day. It brings back good memories of skiing Targhee when I was a kid. Seems like the same runs still exist---basically bobsled runs through the aspen glades. As a kid, with skis hovering around the 100cm mark, these runs are just like riding a roller coaster. As an adult with a little more length, these runs test the quads, lower back, and sometimes your head as you duck under the branches--add a free-heel and I'm usually begging to go back and ride the relic.
On Sunday, I followed Maggie through Eyeball Forest to Wacky Weasel Way across the Rainbow Road to Otter Slide and back to lift. She's now getting air on the last jump at the bottom of Otter Slide. Nancy followed Brady for a run while he was skiing with his team. They found this jump off a run called Waterfall. Sick tail grab.
