Guest TR: 11′s Couloir, Peak 10,960

Wet and rainy conditions welcomed the racers, but Brandon French toughed it out and was the first American, and first in his start group, to cross the finish line. Challenging conditions for all racers and props to the other US team members for gutting it out to the finish. Italian Guido Giacomelli won it for [...]

2008 SMWC: Vertical Race

Frenchman Florent Perrier wins the Vertical Race. Click here for full race results. My legs were feeling pretty sore on Wednesday after my battle with dehydration and leg cramps in the Teams Race, so for the benefit of the team, I decided to hand my Vertical Race spot over to Zahan, who seemed to be [...]

2008 SMWC: Teams Race

The Teton Tigers. Courtesy SMWC2008.ch I decided to let Zahan write today’s post on how the Teams Race went. For those that are getting a little sick of hearing about skinny rando skiers in lycra, I tried to get a little ChamperyAT in on today’s ‘rest day’, but morning rain, isothermic snow and socked in [...]

2008 SMWC: Teams Relay

Click here for larger image. After a pretty chill morning of cruising the lifts and checking out some of the course for the Teams Race the next day, we arrived at the venue for the Teams Relay around 5:15pm. Relay rando races are one of the more spectator friendly races and this one was no [...]

2008 SMWC: Individual Short Race

As expected, our American teammates finished in the middle of the pack of the field of 88 racers. I made this little video that shows a tight European battle at the last transition and some photos of the US racers. I was going to add some commentary..but I don’t have a microphone on my computer…so [...]

SMWC 2008-Arriving in Champery

Things have finally gotten under way and we made our way to Champery today. We caught a bus shuttle from the airport and I saw some Spaniards, Manu, Toti and Javier (fast guys) who I met at the WC in 2006. Like the rest of the Spanish team, and many of the racers, these guys [...]

TR: Geneva, Switzerland

It was immediately evident the amount of wealth in Switzerland as soon as we got off the plane. Watch and banking adds specific to every ethnicity lined the walls. I wonder if there is such a thing as a bank for people with no money, this would be the place to find it. After getting [...]

A Quick Hello!

One more day in Geneva before heading to Champery and the WC. The weather is nice now, but it looks like it hasn’t snowed in a long time. The flights went pretty smooth and we had a small scare with Zahan’s ski bag, but we all have our bags now. Went out to dinner last [...]

Off to Switzerland!

The Dents de Midi. I’m out the door today on my way to Switzerland! My flights go through Denver, Washington DC, Munich and then on to Geneva. I’ve got some Ambien to help me get some rest and sleep…and hopefully help me deal with some of the jetlag. I struggle with sleeping on planes, all [...]

Moon Walk Couloir on 25 Short

I managed to get out for some more mini-golf type couloir skiing before work on Friday. The objective was Moon Walk Couloir which drops into the south fork of Avalanche Canyon from Devil’s Ridge between 25 Short and Peak 10,696. Surprisingly I’ve never skied it before, so was pretty jazzed to get ‘er done! The [...]

Thanks for the Donations!

Raised so far. It’s not too late to donate! I just wanted to recognize all those that have donated to the TetonAT Switzerland Fund before I head overseas on Weds morning to race in the World Ski Mountaineering Championships. Thank you for your enormous generosity!!!! I’m feeling pretty good right now and I just need [...]

Rescue Overload

Just want to give a shout out to my SAR buddies on a rescue today for a missing snowmobiler up at Togwotee. Unfortunately I’m working a big sale at the store today and just can’t respond. I guess I’ll run back-up if anything else comes up. Man, recently it seems like TCSAR has been getting [...]

Prospector’s Limp Noodle? Spaghetti?

Sunrise from Granite Canyon trailhead. I was SO psyched to go skiing last Friday. Sunny days have been few and far between this season and I’ve missed most of them by being on the road or having to work. I was no doubt bummed when I saw the Moose-Wilson Road blown-in in on Friday morning [...]

The Other Oils on Prospector Mountain

Reed and I skied these two lines yesterday Dubbed Canola and Peanut Oil. I skied a couple fun lines off of Olive Oil yesterday that I don’t think get skied very much…for a total of 7,000″ of vertical. The original plan was to go big out of the Death Canyon trailhead, but when Reed and [...]

Skiing’s Equivalent?

Somehow Jason Tattersall got my email address about a year ago and if there is one thing you can count on him for, besides skiing hard and speaking his mind, it’s entertaining emails about once a week. He forwarded this video to me (and many others) on Tuesday. Most of [...]
