The Glacier Route on the Middle Teton…as skied on June 19,2008. The last time I skied this route was in March of 2004. Picture taken from Disappointment Peak on December 24, 2005. Enjoy the video!
The Tetons
Randosteve skis the Glacier Route on the Middle Teton on Thursday. Click here for larger image. I’ve been getting a lot of email’s lately of people asking me how I think the skiing is right now…if the snow is freezing at night…and about specific route conditions in general. Though I had heard reports of great […]
I think the video says it all. Thanks for visiting TetonAT.com.
Really nothing special in this video. It’s just amazing that there is still such great skiing to be had on Teton Pass all the way to the parking lot and I wanted to document it. Part 3 from Gannett tomorrow. Ciao for now!
I put this video trip report together from my descent of the Koven Couloir last week. It’s got some decent steeps footage and includes some fun Whippeted sidestepping. Here’s a little more info on the slab I mention about…if you missed it last week.
Buckingham Palace Peak After my little scare in the Koven Couloir last Thursday, the high temp predicted for the following days and reading about the big slides happening in the Pacific Northwest, I decided to turn things down a little bit on Friday and try and ski a south facing couloir on McKlintok Peak…located near […]
Last weekend I got out into Cascade Canyon with Reed Finlay and Brian Harder. We ventured into the Teewinot/Owen Cirque to ski a line I’ve heard referred to as Tallboy Couloir. If you know it as something else…feel free to share. The couloir kinda starts from the col between the East Prong and the next […]
Small slab release at the top of the Koven Couloir As Brian Harder and I approached the top of the Koven Couloir and the Koven Col today, the snow changed dramatically. A small slab had formed on the looker’s left. A cornice blocked easy access directly above. Randosteve…”Man…it sure is getting slabby up here” Brain […]
I got out with Penn Newhard and Greg Williams from Backbone Media this past Tuesday and even though the temps weren’t that cold, the snow still set up nice to make for fast spring time travel. We toured up to the Teewinot/Mt Owen Plateau and skied the Southwest Couloir of Teewinot. Here are some pictures […]
Can you spot the skier in this photo? You’ll never guess who. From a trip to the Teewinot/Mt. Owen Plateau on Tuesday.
Sunrise on Rockchuck. I’ve been out skiing the past four days…nothing too exciting though. Two shutdowns and two mini-lines out of the String Lake Trailhead. There have been some good freezes at night, but the weather forecasting has been tough. The shutdowns were due to lingering weather in the early morning hours. Both successful trips […]
Went up to Garnett Canyon on Saturday and skied West Hourglass Couloir with my friend Chris. Surprisingly, there was no one in the parking lot at 7 am on the first bluebird powder day we’ve had in a long time. I think a lot of people must be out of town…or just over skiing…if that’s […]
I’m gonna milk one more post out of the Winds trip, but I wanted to congratulate Bryan Feinstein, Colin O’Farrell and Ty Cook for a descent of the rad Otterbody Route on the Grand Teton last week. If I have my numbers right, only four other people have previously skied or snowboarded the route…”old school” […]
Did the bike-ski-bike thing in the park this weekend and skied the East Face of Teewinot on Friday with Bryan, Colin and Ty. We were on our bikes at 5am and watched the sunrise as we climbed the Apex to the bottom of the route. Clouds lingered around the summit for most of the morning […]
Small avalanche just above the Meadows in Garnet Canyon today. Well, looks like I went 1 for 3 this week…scoring a fun descent yesterday, but today, high winds shutdown a planned descent in Garnet Canyon. I have a feeling a few other groups got turned around as well, since the forecast was for mostly sunny […]
Chris enjoys a moment of visibility above the Devil’s Stairs in the South Fork of Teton Canyon. Went couloir hunting in Teton Canyon with my friend Chris yesterday. Unfortunately the clouds obscured our objective, but we had some fun dust on crust skiing non-the-less. As we toured above Devil’s Stairs, a nice sucker hole came […]
Having made the decision to ski the couloir, it was now time to act and ski with confidence. Steep and tight couloirs are no place to be if your are tentative and you must be ready for anything…an icy patch…some breakable crust…windslab…you never know what you’ll get. Reed skied the top section first and the […]
Not skiing for a few days. I’m in Needham, MA visiting family. Hope I’m not missing anything. The Southeast Couloir of Buck Mountain is in the center of the photo, in the shadow behind the rock buttress. Click on photos for largest image. On Wednesday, Reed and I made our second attempt to ski the […]
I found myself at the top of Wimpys, three out of four days last week. Some people may think it’s lame to ski the same run all the time, but when it nuking winds and dumping a foot of snow a day, who can blame me for heading to slopes I’m familiar with and I […]
