US Women Take Second in TSF Millet
by February 13th, 2008TetonAT Arc’teryx Picks!
by February 12th, 2008I just got word from Arc’teryx HQ that some of my gear requests were being shipped out yesterday. I’m pretty psyched to upgrade my technical outerwear and really hope it gets here in time to bring to Switzerland. (Keeping my fingers crossed!!!) One interesting note, Skinny Skis here in Jackson…who I am employed by…placed the [...]
9 Days and Counting
by February 11th, 2008I’m less than two weeks out from heading to Switzerland and wrapping up some of the finer details in relation to logistics, gear and training…and getting a haircut too! So far, the TetonAT Switzerland Fund has raised over $800 from generous donors all across the country. I thank you all! So far…your generous donations to [...]
Laps on the Pass…North and South
by February 9th, 2008Very little traffic on the Pass for a Satuday. WYDOT made the stealth opening of Teton Pass Friday night after nearly two days of closures. I was going solo and must have checked the webcam 20 times waiting for some cars to start showing up on the webcam on Saturday morning. After a mediocre day [...]
Missing Something?
by February 8th, 2008I don’t know about anyone else out there, but I’m having trouble figuring out where the “High Lives: 5 Alpinist on the Edge” article is in this month’s Backcountry Magazine. Yes, I saw the articles on Ptor Spricenieks and Frederick Erickson, and the one on Mark and Rod Newcomb, but is that it? Who is [...]
Shutdown…Twice!!!
by February 7th, 2008Road Closed sign on Moose/Wilson Road. Surprisingly, Teton Pass is open today. Usually I make the right call when planning trips during inclement weather, but today, I dropped the ball and got shutdown…twice. I hooked up with Chris Onufer early this morning and after a brief pow-wow, we decide to head towards Togwotee Pass to [...]

TetonAT for…O-bra-ma?
by February 5th, 2008I own a TV and have cable. I even watch the news channels occasionally, so it’s nearly impossible to ignore the fact that today is Super Tuesday. The way I have looked at politics and elections over the past couple decade is that we are really picking between the lesser of two evils. For the [...]
Powder Pics
by February 4th, 2008Note: Thanks to all those that have donated so far to the TetonAT Switzerland Fund. The biggest donation has been $100 (family…gotta love em…your too Loeffler) and the smallest has been $5…which I am just a greatful for. Thank you all for your support! Ghost skier sighting on Wimpys. Once again I got my days [...]
More Powder on Wimpys
by February 3rd, 2008Randosteve breaks off a cornice on top of Wimpys on Saturday. After the blizzard on Friday and with the 14” of new snow in the mountains on Saturday, Reed and I braved the high avalanche danger and ventured to Wimpy’s for a day of breaking trail though thigh deep wind drifts. The track was completely [...]
Girl Power…Finally!
by February 1st, 2008Monique Merrill – “Steve, You know, there are women on the team as well! Men…jeez. First a compliment…I do enjoy your website. I find out more information there than I do from my fiancee. Valuable information. Second… just had to give you shit since I do think our women’s team could score some top ten’s. [...]
