Thanks to Jordan Manley for putting together this video from a ski trip to Baffin Island last spring. It reaffirms my need to visit the area and explore. Not looking forward to the 130km snowmobile ride, though.

I just thought I’d share this video of an avalanche UK snowboarder Johno Verity was caught in while filming in New Zealand a few years ago. After a few close calls last year (like this and this), I’m pretty much scared shitless of avalanches these days (which might be a good thing?), but I’m hoping […]
Congrats to Jared Inouye, Andy Dorais and Jason Dorias, who just last week completed what they dub, “The Hulk Hogum”, a link up of 8 steep couloirs and lines in Little Cottonwood Canyon, UT. Jared shares his take on the day in this trip report and claims success on his lightweight gear. For the most […]
This has got to be one of the longest trip reports I’ve ever read for 12 hours of skiing. Luckily, it’s a fantastic read written by Christian Beckwith, who got out for a day of skiing last weekend with one of the Teton’s most talented skiers, Mark Newcomb. A nice descent of the Northwest Couloir […]
Earlier this week, US Paralympic member Chris Devlin-Young became the first sit-skier to ski JHMR’s legendary Corbet’s Couloir, unaided. Corbet’s was dubbed “America’s Scariest Ski Slope” by USA Today (there is even a play-by-play on how to ski it, at least for people that have function of both of their legs) , and I’m assuming […]
From what I’ve been hearing, conditions in the Alps this spring have been absolutely stellar for ski mountaineering to say the least, with rad lines being ticked off by some great skiers and snowboarders. Some have been first descents, while others have been repeats of lines that haven’t been skied in decades. On June 4th, […]
I had the opportunity to ski in Norway this year, but bailed on it because of life obligations. Soooo…when Doug Stoup contacted me about his recent ski trip there after a couple of North Pole expeditions, I was psyched to hear about his experience and even more psyched that he has done the research, homework […]
I’m killing time in Ushuaia right now before my flight to Mendoza tomorrow and I thought I’d share this video that was sent to me by Ryan Bougie from his and Marcus Wharing’s ski descent of the Archangle Ridge on Mount Foraker this past spring. Pretty wild to see these guys nail this descent on […]
When I originally posted about the first descent of the Archangel Ridge on Mount Foraker, it was questioned by some. Thanks to Marcus Waring for putting this trip report together and setting the record straight, and congratulations on a successful first descent of an amazing ski line. –Steve.

I’m sure some of you followed the First Ascent climb of Everest this spring. What some you you might not know is that John Griber and Twelve Point Media were also on the trip and the ones doing all the video work on the mountain. John’s been all over the world and on all kinds […]
Thanks to Ryan Minton of Bozeman, Montana for this trip report of a trip he did to ski the aesthetic Grey Wolf Couloir on Grey Wolf Mountain located in the Mission Range in the northwestern part of the state. –Steve In early May, I joined Josh Gage, Sam Magro, and Jason Leppi and headed to […]
Randokitty skis Chute the Moon. Last weekend, I got out with a great skier-friend of mine and finally “Shot the Moon”! Chute the Moon is hardly radical by TetonAT standards, but I had been staring at (and obsessing about) this aesthetic line on the north side of Peak 10,696 for most of this ski season. […]
Junk show at Tuckerman’s Ravine? Rumors of mayhem and unorthodox backcountry etiquette on the slopes of Tuckerman’s Ravine on Mount Washington last Saturday, buzzed on skiing forums over that last few days. Enough so, that the popular forum based website, TimeForTuckermans.com, ended up removing a thread from a snowboarder caught in a wet-slide (one of […]
As usual, Greg Hill put together an interesting video (in his own quirky way) from a couple days skiing with him and his bros in Roger’s Pass. Watching this brings me back to the big views and amazing terrain the place has to offer. A must-do trip for any dedicated backcountry skier. Thanks for the […]
One thing I love about having this website is communicating with all the other skiers from around the world. Many of us come from the same mold and we are all passionate about our skiing. One particular TetonAT.com visitor, whom I only know as “Matus”, is from Slovakia and comments often on these pages. Recently, […]
Thanks to Andrew McLean for his account of the second decent of the Hossack-MacGowan Couloir with the late Hans Saari. And rumor has it congratuatlions are in order as his wife is pregnant with their second child. Nice one Andrew! Anyway, I think this is the last of the three part series (part 1, part […]
Congratulations to….well…not so fast. First I want to thank all those that entered the TetonAT.com Trip Report Contest. I’d also like to thank Penn Newhard and the rest of the crew at Black Diamond Equipment for donating a pair of skis to this contest. Without them…there would be no contest. It was a little crazy […]
