Congrats to our Canadian friend, extremely passionate backcountry skier, and Arc’teryx, Dynafit and Backcountry.com poster-boy, Greg Hill, in his quest to backcountry ski 2,000,000 vertical feet in one calendar year. It’s been a long road for Greg and I’m sure it took a tremendous effort on his end to reach the 2 million mark. No [...]

Ski Smoothie?
by December 28th, 2010G.N.A.R
by December 27th, 2010I’m working 10 out of the next 14 days in the shop, so my time to ski and work on TetonAT is kinda limited these days. (Damn the holidays!) But, the end is in sight and I should have some more time to commit to bigger lines and posts once the new year starts up. [...]

Greg “2 Mil” Hill Closing In
by December 23rd, 2010Good Luck to Greg “2 Mil” Hill on the final days of his quest to ski 2 million vertical feet of human powered turns. I think he’s got a little over 60,000′ left to tick off, with only a few days to go. You got this one the bag Greg…get after it!
Frontcountry Guide
by December 22nd, 2010These Xtranormal videos are SO popular these days that even Geico has added a few to their commercial line up. I think these Frontcountry Guide clips will live up to some of the others that have been posted here on TetonAT and stir up a chuckle or two. Once again, I sure wish I knew [...]
Transitioning Between AT Ski Setups
by December 21st, 2010I know many of you out there probably have quite the quiver of rando skis and maybe a few pairs of boots. I know I do. They range from a 5 lb/foot (ski, boot, binding) old-school Dynafit race setup, to a more than 10 lb Black Diamond/Dynafit hybrid. I ski on both setups quite often [...]
Teton Pass/WYDOT Holiday Donations Requested
by December 20th, 2010Spare change for a good plow? From what I’m starting to hear referred to as the Teton Pass Backcountry Skiers Alliance, donations are being requested to give thanks to our friends at WYDOT. They do a great job, considering the snowbank at the top lot is now carved out and nearly 10 feet tall, and [...]
Skizee
by December 20th, 2010With the holiday season upon us, I’ve been working a lot and getting a bit soft, so it’s natural to see a contraption like this and think a little. The Skizee seems to be the answer to the poor man’s snowmobile and to me, a lot easier to dig out when you get stuck. A [...]
Whoa…That’s Insane!
by December 17th, 2010I can’t imagine that the lift mechanics were psyched about this first speed flying stunt. Aren’t you normally supposed to avoid buildings, towers and cables when you are flying? It’s pretty wild to see what these speed flying dudes are up to these days, but it does look like a sport where you just might [...]
Coming Out of the Closet, Part II
by December 16th, 2010Well, we had so much fun with my last trip out of the closet and into the confession booth, that I figured I’d share another one of my dark secrets and let you deeper into the world of Randosteve. I got a pair of these around the middle of last last season and honestly, I’ve [...]
Zach Giffin December Mount Shuksan Descent
by December 15th, 2010This is pretty cool video and rather raw from my view. My guess is that a descent of Mount Shuksan in December is a great bonus and fantastic way to start off the ski season in the Pacific Northwest. I recently met Zach Giffin during a BD athlete ski test a couple weeks ago. I [...]
