I’m off for another skiing adventure in the Wind River Range. I’ve never been to this area before and I’m anxious to see what kind of fun skiing terrain it may hold. The main objective is to ski the north side of the 13K’ peak located in the lower center of the map below, the […]

Picture taken at 2:30PM on 4/14/10 while crossing Leigh Lake in Grand Teton National Park. Hola! I’m skinning across Leigh Lake in Grand Teton National Park right now, on the way to spend a couple nights in Leigh Canyon. Conditions are pretty prime in the Tetons right now for ski touring and it will be […]
Note: This route isn’t in the guidebook and I wonder if it has been skied before. Click photos for larger images. I have been eyeing the Southeast Face on the Middle Teton for a few years now and after one busted solo attempt, I got out with telemarker Chris Onufer this weekend and scored pretty […]
CLICK ALL PHOTOS FOR LARGER IMAGE. A beautiful morning ski across Jackson Lake. Entering the fog on Jackson Lake. It’s always colder on the lake. Skiing into a side canyon and towards our objective.
Using your bike to access ski descent is super rad! Click all photos for larger images. With the coming of spring…or at least the plowing of the GTNP inner road, it is a great time of year to incorporate a bicycle into your ski tours and shoot for some of the peaks and lines north […]
Two days after skiing the Amora Vida Couloir on the South Teton, a fellow skier and friend, Wray Landon was killed in an avalanche while skiing the same route. It has taken me a little while to be able to look at the footage, and a few tears were shed while making this video and […]
Randosteve skis next to the West Horn while descending Drizzlepus on Mount Moran. Click all photos for larger image. Drizzlepus, a feature on the south-side of Mount Moran has been on my hit-list for a long time. It sits just west of the Falling Ice Glacier and the West Horn, and is a point that […]
Click on all photos for larger image. Our last day of the week at Fairy Meadows broke clear in the morning and we were all anxious to get ski touring. Steep moraines led us back up and onto Granite Glacier, with our objectives for the day being Mount Sir William and Enterprise Peak. Some new […]
Click on individual thumbnails to view larger images. You can also advance to the next image once one has enlarged. There is a brief trip report below…hope you like the pictures! The following day, our second full day at the Fairy Meadows Hut, we awoke to greybird skies. The plan was to do a long […]
Morning light on the way to the Houdini Needles area. Click all photos for larger images. After our first night at the hut, which was filled with great food and fun, we awoke to clear skied and bright sunshine. We were psyched to have a day with good visibility near the beginning of our stay […]
Greg Hill leads the way on Rogers Pass. Click all photos for larger images. After eventually crossing the boarder into Canada, Dustin Lemke, Reed Finlay, Brian Ladd and I pulled into Revelstoke to meet up with friends Greg Hill and Aaron Chance. Being that the USA vs. Canada gold medal hockey game was only a […]
Randosteve skis from near the summit of Spaulding Peak. Click photo for larger image. During our day, we watched 7 people…in two different parties, climb up no more than 1/3 of the way up the Ellingwood Couloir on the Middle Teton. From skiing the Amora Vida Couloir on the South Teton the day before, I […]

With a relatively slow start to the ski season, a marginal and sometimes sketchy snowpack, its’ been a little difficult to really get after it this year. Luckily, things are starting to turn around and I’ve slowly started to venture into some steeper and more exposed terrain. Here’s a little video compilation of some of […]
I got out to scope out a line I’ve been wanting to ski on Fairshare Tower yesterday, an obscure peak/point that sits between Disappointment Peak and the Grand Teton. The sickter line I’ve been eyeballing isn’t quite ready yet, but my partner and I still had a fun day skiing from near the summit. Here […]
Wray Landon styles the Sliver. After an insane powder run down the Banana Couloir on Mount Prospectors last week, I headed with some friends up to the Sliver on Nez Perce over the weekend. The line was all sloughed out with piles of dense snow down the middle of the whole couloir, and crusty near […]
This is a very nice little viddy that follows some Salomon skiers as they try to ski lines into the crater of Chile’s Puyehue volcano. It takes them a coupe tries to succeed…mainly because of weather…but they win in the end and score what looks to be some rad skiing.
I toured up into Garnet Canyon yesterday to try and ski the West Hourglass Couloir on Nez Perce. BUT…as you might guess, with the low snowpack we have so far this year…it isn’t filled in enough yet for a decent without having to negotiate what looked to be two areas of pretty thinly covered rocky […]
So…rumor has it there are only a handful of the new Dynafit DyNA rando racing boots in the states this year (click here for 3D view), but low and behold, since I’ve been back in Jackson (about 3 weeks now) I’ve seen three pairs of them. And not just in a box on the shelf. […]
