Well…it’s been another great ski season. Stretching from long approaches and early season turns on the Middle Teton Glacier on October 25th, to…long approaches and late season turns in the Winds River Range in early July. Not too bad…milking 9 months of skiing out of the lower forty-eight, but like many of you I’m still itching for more. Last year I was able to do the TAY thing (Turns All Year) and I’m tempted to keep the continuous skiing thing going. It gets kinda addictive, maybe some of you can relate.
Anyway, was a wild winter for me with some ups and downs…both literally and figuratively. Skiing-wise it was pretty successful. I survived one of the scariest avalanche cycles that I can remember in late December to mid January. Checked out some new terrain in the Beartooths that have me wanting to return, and skied some new lines in the Tetons (Northeast Ridge) and the Wind River Range (Freemont Peak) that I have wanted to ski for years. Thanks to all the partners that joined up for some great skiing this year and thanks to all those that visit and support TetonAT.com. There’s a lot more exploring and skiing left to do, so I hope you will all stick around for another year. Live…to SKI! –Steve

Addictive yes! Turns all year,after last week in the cascades I am close to almost four years.
If on a glacier watch out for crevasses late september,early october,in the cascades and the coast they seem to be in the worst condition.
Keep going yes!
It also depends what your wife or girlfriend thinks about it!
Thanks for the mid-summer stoke. Can’t wait to get back to the Beartooths next spring!
Nice Mike…not too many glaciers around these parts…at least one’s I’d be skiing.
It’s on the short list Ryan!
Any idea what that perfectly triangular mountain is? It is shown in the background at 2:03, 2:13 and 2:17, possibly up in British Columbia/Northwest US region (I would guess).
That is the mighty Sir Donald, Selkirk Mountains, Roger’s Pass, BC. Classic climb up one of those ridges. Sure is a pretty one…eh?
Great work Steve! Watched this a couple of times already.
Doing any trail running this summer?
Thanks Steve…I have too!
I am just getting ramped up with trail running and have about 40 miles under my belt this week. I thinking of doing a speed run on the Grand on Sunday or Monday…and I’m most likely gonna enter one of the races at Targhee. I’m digging my Sportiva Wildcats, but I’m thinking of trying some Crosslites next…also from Sportiva.
I look forward to seeing the images your grab in the Bighorns next year.
Let’s hope I can put a trip together over there. From what I know know, it’s seem really tricky to catch things just right over there. But last year was a stormy year for the Bighorns…so maybe more blue sky this season?
