Then, it’s time for the Summer Outdoor Retailer down in Salt Lake City next week. Combined with it being mid-summer and in the height of the tourist season here in Jackson Hole, [...]

Brain Farm HD, Full Of…SICK!!!
by July 29th, 2010Yellowstone Bison Attack
by July 28th, 2010I’m pretty sure throwing a stick at a Yellowtone bison is not the recommended way to get it’s attention for that award winning photograph. Needless to say, this women got more than she bargained for last week, and more than a friendly game of fetch. Support TetonAT and stay cool with kayaks and river accessories [...]

by July 27th, 2010How crazy is this?! I think it’s pretty rad and it’s not every day you get to soar high above the Jackson Hole Valley riding shotgun to a Peales Tiercel, or male Peregrine Falcon in layman’s terms. This is one of the birds from the Teton Raptor Center playing and chasing a Lanner Falcon. You [...]

by July 26th, 2010I received this photo from Jeff Witt, a climbing guide who works with Exum Mountain Guides. It is of an ice axe that was with one of the parties injured and pinned down by lightning near the summit of the Grand Teton last Wednesday. We’ve all heard of blue sparks or humming coming from our [...]
The Ski Channel’s, The Story Trailer
by July 23rd, 2010It may be geared a little more for the mainstream public than some other ski flicks out there, but the Ski Channel’s, “The Story“, packs some good stoke just the same and also features some very talented Jackson skiers. Man, I sure wish I my cable provider had the Ski Channel. Have a great weekend!!! [...]

Raptors Up Close And Personal At JHMR
by July 15th, 2010Great Horned Owl. I’ve always thought two things about the birds of prey I see flying around Jackson Hole, mostly around the riparian areas when I’m floating the Snake River. The first being that if I was to be reincarnated as an animal in my second life (cuz I sure hope I get more than [...]
