A recent scientific survey published by the National Foundation for Astrology and Other Serious Sciences entitled The Number of Skiers at Jackson Hole Resort Who Aren't Better at Skiing than Ben revealed that the answer is in fact, three. There are three skiers at the resort who are verifiably not better at skiing than me. This leaves roughly anywhere from ALOT to a billion skiers at Jackson Hole in the category of "Those skiers who may safely be called better than Ben."
With this information in hand regarding the expert nature of my fellow snow skiers, I expected the only untouched white space left for the claiming the day after a powder day would be somewhere nonexistent.
Turns out that was incorrect...
Apologies in advance for the low-light, high-contrast image, but just wanted to make sure those S-shaped curves donated by me, free of charge, to Jackson Hole Resort's Headwall were properly recorded:

| Day-After Pow |
Also observe that a to-scale icon of a human figure has been digitally inserted into the above image to provide correct scale and perspective to the depth of the powder and how awe-inspiring the turns through it were. (The icon's uncanny resemblance to Pete - and most Canadians, for that matter - is, I assure you, merely incidental.) It is also highly recommended that you close one eye and hold your laptop over your head when viewing the image to get an authentic impression of the steepness, danger, explosions, and epicness of the run.
Reminder: this is a run the day after the powder day.
