The riding is getting better, but the light is getting worse.  The little snow that is falling is really bring Jackson back into shape.  But the riding wasn’t on a lot of peoples mind’s today.  There was a huge search effort for an 18 year old skier from North Hampton Massachusetts.  Zephyr Rapinchuck was last scanned going up the tram at 2:50 on the 11th of January, and did not return at the end of the day.  Around 1:30 this afternoon, his body was found just below Hanging Rock Traverse and later pronounced dead at the Teton Valley Clinic.  It is believed that his death was a result of  Rapinchuck striking a tree.  Our condolences go out to his family and friends.
Sad Day in Jackson
