Finally, Some Severe Turbulence

On our way into Jackson Hole today (yes, the name of this place is Jackson Hole), we encountered 'severe' turbulence. It's designated severe if the auto pilot won't stay on (which forces the pilots to actually fly the plane, so they can deal with the turbulence). Talk about a blast. There were 'no-stomach' roller coaster moments that lasted two whole seconds. I was laughing, the other flight attendant was laughing, and most of the passengers were laughing until the plane suddenly kicked a quarter-turn to the left. They all stopped laughing then. I still thought it was funny, and 60 now-frightened faces looking to me to see if they should panic was only that much funnier, especially because a lot of the Jackson Hole passengers are rude ski snobs who need to get shook up a bit.
There are times I love this job.
