by January 10th, 2008Randosteve boots up a couloir on Disappointment Peak as spindrift falls from above.

Thanks WYDOT for Plowing Teton Pass
by January 9th, 2008I haven’t been skiing Teton Pass much lately, but I want to give a shout out to WYDOT for keeping it open for those that skied up there during the big storms of last week. There was a comment and some discussion on a Teton Pass webcam post last week insinuated that WYDOT intentionally didn’t [...]
STEEP: A Must See Movie
by January 8th, 2008I just got back from seeing the movie “Steep” with RandoKitty and I don’t know what to say except…WOW!

Here are some that I have come to know and understand over the years…and occasionally use. Thanks to Ellie Levin’s for some inspiration on this post! [...]
Video: Skiing the Sliver on Nez Perce…and Stuff
by January 2nd, 2008I’ve been out all night on a TCSAR call-out in Unskiabowl on the Pass…our second call-out on New Year’s Day. Saved his life…and now I’m going to bed. Might take a couple days to recover. I’m sure most people have heard about all the big slides yesterday and I just hope not to have to [...]
