Just a little PSA, as I saw this on Turkey Day. The East Face and Ford Couloir of the Grand Teton slid and sent debris all the way to the meadows. The Cave Couloir also slid. Both appeared to have happened naturally, maybe on Monday or Tuesday…hard to tell though. Avalanche crowns on the Grand [...]

by November 25th, 2011Nice to Get That Out of the Way
by October 9th, 2011Randosteve skis the Cave Couloir in Garnet Canyon. Click all photos for larger image. Getting ready to and going out skiing for the first day of the season can sometimes be a bit of a junk show and rather stressful, so it’s always nice to get it out of the way and dial things in.

I’ve been on a couple missions up into the north fork and over the weekend I skied on the Middle Teton Glacier. I wanted to go higher on the Middle, but I had left my avy gear in [...]

From skiing the Amora Vida Couloir on the South Teton the day before, I [...]
Dartmouth Couloir Tour
by January 16th, 2010Reed Finlay skis in front of Table Mountain. Although our snowpack isn’t the greatest up here in the Tetons so far this year, there is still a lot of great skiing to be had and when the bigger lines aren’t filled in yet, it’s better to focus on obscure runs and long tours. It’s probably [...]
