Click on picture for larger image.> Thinking about going backcountry skiing in Grand Teton National Park this weekend? Or how about a bike ride on the freshly plowed inner park road? Well, you better start putting together a Plan B, because if Congress can’t get it together and figure out this budget thing, pretty much [...]

Will The Gov’t Shutdown Affect Your Ski Plans?
by April 7th, 2011Body By Body Flex!
by April 7th, 2011I usually get my workout in by skinning, boot-packing or running, but sometimes time is limited and you have to do what you can to stay fit and get a workout in. When I need to, I often put on the leg warmers and body-suit, and dive-in to a great Body Flex workout right in [...]
JHSP Rescues Injured Renan Ozturk
by April 5th, 2011It’s amazing that someone can survive when they have a depressed skull fracture, a partially collapsed lung and fractures to both C2 and C7 vertebrae…let alone when this happens while skiing in the backcountry. Props to the Jackson Hole Ski Patrol for a speedy response (reportedly only 20mins from the report of the injury to [...]
Sneaker Couloir Video

TimeLine and Xavier de le Rue

Cortina’s Classic Couloirs
by April 3rd, 2011Here’s a little Euro weekend stoke for you. It’s a compilation of descents in a number of the Dolomite’s classic couloirs by Felix Hentz. My favorite imagery in this video is at the end…now that is a rappel off a bridge if I’ve ever seen one.
Skier Survives 1,000′ Avalanche on Shadow Peak, GTNP
by April 1st, 2011Correction: This indecent occurred in the “4-Hour Couloir” on Shadow Peak, not on Albright Peak which was originally reported. I also heard that Jimmy’s ski has been found. Good to see that photographer and adventurer Jimmy Chin came out on the up side of things after getting caught in a 2′ wet slide and going [...]
The Time Has Come
by April 1st, 2011The new and improved, TeleSteve. With all the epic powder and ski days I have had since the beginning of October, I’m honestly starting to get a little over winter and snow. However, there’s still a 140+” base in the mountains right now, so the snow will be here for a while. Therefore, I’ve been [...]
