After skiing Idiots as a "warm-up", several of us went over to ski Keyhole. The entrance was the best its been all season - no required cornice drops. K1 was nice and tight, K2 had some exposed rock bands requiring tactical skiing.

The skiing was so good that we scooped up a group of visiting Jackson Hole ski instructors and took them back to ski it again!
this "closed" sign can't be for us / taking the higher
traverse to keyhole / honestly, the closed sign is for
the high t traverse
The afternoon was spent just as it should be. First, to the Ice Bar - then the Lodge Deck, then the BBQ in the parking lot (thanks Chris and Kim!), then to a block party on Upper Bench before finally calling it a day.
