Teton County Search and Rescue: Cool Approach Vehicle?
by December 24th, 2007Click here for larger image. I saw this modified Honda 350X Snow-Trike up at Togwotee Pass during a TCSAR training a couple weeks ago.

Skiing Denali?
by December 19th, 2007Someone talked to me this a few weeks ago about going to ski Denali this spring (May/June) and I was instantly put on cloud nine…dreaming of making turns from the highest peak in North America.

TetonAT Videos: Skiing Peak 10,696
by December 13th, 2007Got out skiing yesterday on Peak 10,696 in the park. I was on a solo mission, but ran into another park afficionado on the way (an old roommate actually), so we skied the peak together. Unfortunately a group had skied it the day before and there were a few tracks in the southeast facing bowl, [...]
