I am currently taking the next step in committing to TetonAT.com and upgrading to a new, more powerful server. It requires a greater monetary investment, but I think it will be well worth it. The site should upload and navigate much quicker now. Thanks to Jed Frumkin from V-R Interactive for helping me get this [...]

More Power-Upgrading to New Server
by February 28th, 2007Setting the Bar on the Glory Bootpack
by February 27th, 2007Jimmy Chin set the bar at 10 hours for skiing the Grand Teton last winter, and now Dan Kaslow and Luke Lynch have set the bar (as far as I know) for most laps on Glory. I was informed of this feat yesterday morning when I was directed to TheSnaz.com, who broke the story on [...]
Name That Couloir. #2
by February 26th, 2007Ok, Ed (and Dave) got the first installment of ‘Name That Couloir’ (NTC) right, so I figured I’d showcase him in NTC #2! Sorry Ed, but you can’t play in this one. I think this NTC is much harder than last weeks, but I will give clues (in the comments) if no one seems to [...]
Jason Petervary Update
by February 25th, 2007I just checked out how Jason is doing in his Iditabike. Sounds like his is currently in 4th place and traveling alone, 4:15 (hrs:mins) off the winning pace. It’s still a long way to go to the finish. Temps have been way below zero, like 15-30 below, so I’m sure it is playing a big [...]
Powder in the Hourglass-Nez Perce
by February 24th, 2007I picked up Brian Harder at 7am yesterday, both of us were anxious to get into the mountains, and I think we both lost sleep because of it. We passed the resident moose that seem to have made Gros Ventre Junction their home for the past couple weeks and we were on the trail before [...]
TetonAT.com Film Fest…Part I
by February 23rd, 2007Yesterday I did a couple laps on ‘The Wimpster’ before noon, when things seemed to get really gloppy. I’m sure some of the lower aspects set up pretty good once the sun turned the corner too. With all the new snow lately, keeping me off the gnarlier lines, I’m starting to get anxious for some [...]
Training with the Recco Avalanche Rescue System
by February 22nd, 2007Since the heli was canceled yesterday, I took some time to work on my taxes, but did get out for a quick run on the Pass at around noon. The wind was ripping pretty good, and I skied Twin Slides back down to the parking lot. My last pass run was about a week ago, [...]
Mountain Lion in Rafter J
by February 21st, 2007Well, I was supposed to go heli-skiing today, but the winds and snow are keeping the ships on the ground. Hopefully they will fly and I can grab a spot in the next couple days. I guess I’ll be earning my turns once again today…no matter though. Check out these photos on JH Underground of [...]
Good Luck to Jason Petervary!!!
by February 20th, 2007I went to Jason Petervary’s house last week to talk to him about the Iditarod Trail Invitational (AKA, Iditabike) he will be competing in on February 24th in Alaska. Jay is an accomplished adventure racer, having competed in multiple Eco-Challenge and Primal Quest events, as well as being pretty much good at everything that revolves [...]
East Face-Fossil Mountain
by February 19th, 2007Going solo today and might try to get above the clouds on the Middle Teton. Note: This TR is from February 17.2006. Last winter, Dustin, Reed and I were able to nab a coveted descent…the East Face of Fossil Mountain. I say it’s coveted, cuz I haven’t heard of anyone else ever skiing it, and [...]
Name That Couloir, #1
by February 18th, 2007We’ll start with an easy one for J-Holers…I think. Leave your answer in the comments. Note: if it’s your first time commenting, be patient for your post to appear…Thanks!
Wolf Tracks, Gore and Powder
by February 16th, 2007I slept in this morning (until 7) and didn’t get out of the house until almost nine. I was skiing solo today and it seemed to have snowed lightly all night, so I cruised to Wimpys for some more powder turns. The weather satellite looked like there might be some clearing skies today, so I [...]
Not Happening
by February 15th, 2007Got shutdown on yesterday’s adventure. The plan was to skin up the Banana Couloir on Prospectors, and then ski a spur couloir that dropped you into the bowl to the west. We got an early start under light snow and approached via ‘the maze’. We found ourselves contouring into Open Canyon through punchy, north facing [...]
One of the Best Days Yet!!!
by February 14th, 2007Well Brian Harder and I were on the trail to powder ski on Wimpys yesterday before 8AM. I could tell it was going to be a special day as the new snow got deeper and deeper as we climbed. The snow constancy was very light and there was like zero wind effect as well. Some [...]

In addition to being an accomplished alpinist and snowboard mountaineer, Stephen is currently pursuing a career in real estate with Art Hazen Realty.
