Lines on the east side of the Dana Plateau. I’m back in Jackson for a few days before heading out on another skiing road trip. Here are a few pictures from skiing the Ripper Chute on Dana Plateau on a “rest day”. The Dana Plateau is a must-do for skiers looking to get into some [...]

Some Pics From The Ripper Chute

by April 28th, 2010Randosteve skis the South Face of Split Mountain. Click all photos for larger images. My second day skiing on this 2010 Eastern Sierra ski trip involved an early start by Sierra standards and one of it’s 14K’ peaks. Our sights were set on Split Mountain (14,058′) and it’s south face today, and although it’s not [...]

Skiing Wind River Peak…and Off to the Sierras
by April 23rd, 2010Randosteve skis Wind River Peak with the Cirque of the Towers in the background. Photo: Brian Ladd. Click most photos for larger images. I’m not sure how or when, but at some point in the past couple of years, Wind River Peak made it onto my skiing hit-list. At over 13K’, it is the highest [...]
Back From The Winds
by April 22nd, 2010Randosteve admires the terrain above Deep Creek Lakes near Wind River Peak. Just got back from the Winds River Range last night. We cut our trip short by one day, and considering the deluge of thunderstorms we drove through on our way back to Jackson last night, I’m glad we did. The trip was great [...]
Off to Ski in the Wind River Range
by April 19th, 2010I’m off for another skiing adventure in the Wind River Range. I’ve never been to this area before and I’m anxious to see what kind of fun skiing terrain it may hold. The main objective is to ski the north side of the 13K’ peak located in the lower center of the map below, the [...]

LIVE…From Leigh Lake!!!
by April 14th, 2010Picture taken at 2:30PM on 4/14/10 while crossing Leigh Lake in Grand Teton National Park. Hola! I’m skinning across Leigh Lake in Grand Teton National Park right now, on the way to spend a couple nights in Leigh Canyon. Conditions are pretty prime in the Tetons right now for ski touring and it will be [...]
Callum Petit: Hole in One!
by April 14th, 2010If you didn’t get around to seeing Teton Gravity Research’s “Re: Session” this past winter, you no doubt missed seeing one of the most talked about sections of the video. It involved Black Diamond skier Callum Petit and a “hole in one”…not on the links…but on a glacier…and not something really worth celebrating. Callum is [...]
Photo TR: Southeast Face, Middle Teton
by April 13th, 2010Note: This route isn’t in the guidebook and I wonder if it has been skied before. Click photos for larger images. I have been eyeing the Southeast Face on the Middle Teton for a few years now and after one busted solo attempt, I got out with telemarker Chris Onufer this weekend and scored pretty [...]
Togwotee Pass Wilderness Snowmobile Poachers
by April 12th, 2010I received a very irate phone call from a friend on Saturday afternoon, about some ignorant snowboarders who were using snowmobiles to access some powder on Togwotee Pass. Not really a big deal on it’s own really, but when you cross Wilderness (non-motorized) boundaries that are set aside for those that want peace and quite [...]

LIVE…From Jackson Lake
by April 8th, 2010Hola! Just dropping in with a BlackBerry post while skiing across Jackson Lake. I love these sunrise services on the lake as the northern range begins to glow and the anticipation of the day is still strong. It should be a fun day of skiing…if the sun doesn’t get too strong. Ciao for now and [...]
