My return to the icebox was typical. It was cold. It was snowy. My tanned and browned skin soon flaked off and turned back to its customary wintry white like an ermine.
On February 20th, I drove up to Grand Targhee after work to attempt to get back into a routine of skate skiing again. I considered it to be just another ordinary nighttime ski until I witnessed the full moon rising over the Tetons. I had to stop and take some photos. That alone was astonishingly beautiful, but then watching the shadow creep over the moon during the lunar eclipse was an even better surprise. I had no clue there was to be an eclipse that night and I think the fact that it all just came together like that made it even more spectacular. It will be one of the most memorable ski jaunts of the year for sure.
