Monique Merrill – “Steve, You know, there are women on the team as well! Men…jeez. First a compliment…I do enjoy your website. I find out more information there than I do from my fiancee. Valuable information. Second… just had to give you shit since I do think our women’s team could score some top ten’s. […]

Photo: Adam Clark Courtesy: Black Diamond Equipment When I got home from dinner last night, I was going to write a bit about the demo day at Outdoor Retailer…until I heard the bad news. During a film shoot for Warren Miller, extreme freeride skier and Black Diamond sponsored athlete Billy Poole, died in an accident […]
For those of you that are unfamiliar, the world of skiing, surfing and other hipster type sports not only involve interesting characters…but also interesting terminology, called brobonics or broisms. Here are some that I have come to know and understand over the years…and occasionally use. Thanks to Ellie Levin’s for some inspiration on this post! […]
Happy New Year!! I hope everyone has a great New Year and is able to ski/ride a lot in 2008. I know I look forward to a fun upcoming year and I want to thank all those that have supported me in 2007. Right now I’m trying to get fired up to do some intervals […]
Merry Christmas to all! Well…I had plans for a Merry Christmas…full of deep powder skiing, chilling with RandoKitty and massive amounts of eating…but last night I got a TCSAR call-out for some missing skiers on Togwotee Pass and now I’ll be spending the day looking for them. To tell you the truth…I’m not that psyched […]
Think you had a close-call in the mountains this weekend? A skier was caught and buried in an avalanche on East Angle Mountain on Togwotee Pass on Saturday. Read about his experience on his blog, Southern Wind River Adventures. Courtesy: Southern Wind River Adventures Interestingly enough, the same skier triggered a slide in this same […]
This weekend I got out with Julia (AKA: RandoKitty) in the park for her first day of locking her heel down and close to 6000′ of vertical. Everything went well and with a little coaching from yours truly, she had no issues with her Dynafits and was getting in and out of them like a […]
My niece Brooke and nephew Micheal. One more post about my Thanksgiving trip. The main goal of going back east over the Thanksgiving holiday is to visit with family. I have a niece and nephew that I haven’t spent much time with, so much of my visit is spent wrestling and playing soccer and baseball […]
I want to take time this Thanksgiving Day to mention some of the things I am thankful for. Sunrise off the coast of Italy Photo: Dustin Lemke First off, I’d like to thank all those that have visited TetonAT.com over the past year. This website has really grown into something I could never have imagined […]
I’m traveling back east for the Turkey Day today and got up wicked early to get some turns in before my flight. The forecast was for around 7″ of snow in the mountain,but it looks like the flow went north and we were only left with a dusting…or maybe and inch or two. Considering the […]
At the Outdoor Retailer this summer, John Griber introduced me to a couple Sherpas that had traveled to the United States for a NOLS course. Funny…seems they had already heard about TetonAT.
My good friend Reed Finlay sent me this prose from a cycling adventure he had a few weeks ago. With the snow finally starting to show up in the mountains, looks like road biking might be a good way to prep for the upcoming ski season. About three weeks ago I was able to complete […]
Steve Romeo skis on the ridge of Bruneau Sand Dunes State Park in southwestern Idaho After seeing the thread on Telemark Tips about sand skiing in the Bruneau Sand Dunes State Park in southwestern Idaho, I just had to check it out. Bruneau is tallest single-structured sand dune in North America (whatever that means), and […]
Here’s a quick clip from some sand skiing in Idaho this weekend. Trip report tomorrow! 😀
Randosteve talks with the winner of the 2007 North American Ski Mountaineering Championships, Cary Smith. Here is the YouTube link as well. It’s about eight minutes long and yes…return of the TetonAT.com Jingle.
Some of you may remember me mentioning Zahan Billamoria’s traverse of the Tetons via Table Mountain and a solo ascent of the Exum Ridge a few weeks ago. I finally caught up with Zee and he sent me some pics and a little write up about the trip. Wray Landon solos the Upper Exum Ridge […]
Airline Couloir still holding snow in the Snowy Range in Southeastern Wyoming Galen Woelk of Laramie has been sending me pictures all season of some of the lines he’s skied and the potential for exploration in the Medicine Bow Mountains of southeast Wyoming. The Snowy Range is one of the ranges in the Medicine Bows […]
Mark Newcomb, co-owner of Exum Mountain Guides and Marmot athlete, is one of my biggest ski mountaineering idols and when he talks about skiing…people listen. His pioneering descents of such lines as the Spooky Face and the Hossack-McGowan in the Tetons blow the minds of aspiring skiers like myself. Mark has got to be one […]
Over the past few years I’ve been fortunate enough to do a little bit of skiing with Park City resident, Mountain Hardwear athlete and United States Ski Mountaineering Association board member, Andrew McLean. Andrew has inspired me over the years with his amazing descents throughout the world and with his outlook on the sport of […]
If anyone makes their way up to Grand Teton National Park this summer, drop by Moosely Seconds Mountaineering and say…’Hi’. I have been managing the store for the past seven or eight years now it seems. It is a great place to shop, away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Jackson and sometimes we […]
