Still MIA: One Black Diamond Whippet
by June 29th, 2007Not Quite Tahoe…Yet!
by June 28th, 2007I had another post planned for today, but my ride to the park yesterday morning was very depressing, so I will go on a little rant…sorry. Smoke blocks views of the Tetons less than eight miles from the park’s entrance yesterday morning. With the big fires in Lake Tahoe dominating the news these days, I [...]

Ski Descent Technicalities From the Ma…Apprentice: Part 3
by June 26th, 2007I’m no master…but I do have my own thoughts on some aspects to the the sport of ski mountaineering. Ski descent ratings can be very helpful when traveling to a new area or trying to describe the line you just skied. Unfortunately, unlike climbing, there isn’t a universal system that has been adopted by skiers. [...]

Come On By!!!
by June 19th, 2007If anyone makes their way up to Grand Teton National Park this summer, drop by Moosely Seconds Mountaineering and say…’Hi’.

Ski Descent Technicalities From the Masters: Part 1
by June 15th, 2007A little lapse in judgment with yesterday’s post…so I removed it. Back to hard core, tough guy, manly ski mountaineering stuff. I was CC’d on an email going around about some of the technicalities and questions people have on what qualifies a successful ski/snowboard descent, be it here in the lower forty-eight, or on an [...]

Name That Couloir, #10
by June 12th, 2007Here’s a good one located in the Teton Range. I got this seldom skied couloir in April 1999 with Reed Finlay in sweet powder conditions. Ahhh…the early days…before global warming. Any guess what couloir this is?

by June 11th, 2007The cowboy sheriff preaching next to the Bob Marley poster. Gotta love Jackson! I made it out to Adam Smith’s Search and Rescue party in Wilson after word got out about a kayaker who flipped in the Snake. If anyone finds a two man kayak from Wilson to South Park…give me a call. Back to [...]
2007 TetonAT.com Slide Show
by June 8th, 2007Well…unfortunately it looks like my 2006/7 Teton ski season is over. Other areas of the country are still skiing what looks like good snow, but around here the snow is pretty much fried. I may get out for some novelty turns later in the summer, but for all intents and purposes, I’ve hung up my [...]
