Here are some fun, weird, painful ski videos I found on the web this past week or so…Enjoy!!! Snowmobiler Falls Through Cornice-Here, a snowmobiler gets too close to a cornice (not sure where)…and it breaks underneath him. Can you say Darwin Awards??

by March 13th, 2007Avalanche Fatality in Darby Canyon
by March 10th, 2007I am sad to report that I just got home from a SAR call-out to an avalanche incident in Darby Canyon, where one skier perished. I got the call-out at about 5pm Saturday afternoon. From what I can tell, two brothers (one from Driggs, one from Steamboat) were ascending the the western slope of Peak [...]
Heat, Avalanches, and Couloirs in Leigh Canyon
by March 9th, 2007My trip to Mount Moran with Reed started out as planned and we got on the trail towing sleds just before 6 PM. When the weather warms up this time of year, Reed often likes to drive his grandfather’s 1968 Ford Country Squire station wagon…a classic ride to say the least. The skies got dark [...]
Off to Mount Moran

We will be coming out on Thursday. Both of us are towing sleds cuz it is really flat terrain to camp. I like [...]

Fortunately we have some visitors that have done thier research and are well versed in the subject of Couloirogy: The Teton Edition. I think we will stay in the Teton Range for a few more before [...]
Cold Day on the Middle Teton
by March 2nd, 2007I was fired up to get into the mountains today, especially when Brian Harder and I drove north past the Fish Hatchery and saw clear skies over the mountains. We got going right as the sun hit the mountains and it was a beautiful morning. We were headed to the Middle Teton and I can [...]
Heli-Skiing in the Snakes.
by March 1st, 2007I got lucky yesterday and was able to grab an open seat with High Mountain Heli-Skiing (HMH). The morning broke clear with bluebird skies, but the forecast was for incoming clouds, so we had to get it while we could. I was a little unsure of how it would work out, going heli-skiing where I [...]
