While skiing in Glacier Gulch yesterday, I found myself staring up at and day-dreaming about skiing the Hossack-MacGowan route on the north side of the Grand Teton.  I think it has been about 14 years since the route had its last (2nd) descent, and although we have had some really phat snow years since then, [...]

by June 20th, 2011Got a little sketched-out skiing the North Face of Static Peak the other day, a first for me as it usually looks rocky and terrifying.

Skiing from the summit of [...]
