Under the tutelage of legendary guide Billy Hofer (We named our snowcoach 'Uncle Billy" in honor of Mr. Hofer), Hough learned to ski on 12-foot-long wooden slats. He witnessed the arrest of notorious poacher Ed Howell - caught red-handed skinning a bison, and met pioneering photographer F. Jay Haynes.
