Dan carving calculated turns down the half-pipe. The voice came from above. It wasn’t God. “Are you guys OK?” Dan was pounding a piton into a seam and I was flaking the ropes. We looked quizzically at each other, and then up at the couple poised on the edge of the natural half-pipe. We both […]

Teton high-country looking good. Click photo for huge image! I don’t know if you’ve been getting out skiing, but I know I have.
