Black Diamond Fall 2012 Part 1: New Skis, Boots, Skins
by January 12th, 2012Sit-Skier Chris Devlin-Young Skis Corbet’s Couloir
by March 12th, 2011Earlier this week, US Paralympic member Chris Devlin-Young became the first sit-skier to ski JHMR’s legendary Corbet’s Couloir, unaided. Corbet’s was dubbed “America’s Scariest Ski Slope” by USA Today (there is even a play-by-play on how to ski it, at least for people that have function of both of their legs) , and I’m assuming [...]

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 [...]

I think it’s pretty interesting when I post pictures of skiing in Antarctica under clear skies and above the big blue ocean…and half the comments are about the equipment I’m using. Well, that was the case about two months [...]
Go Green…Wax Your Skis With The Sun!
by July 20th, 2009I know everyone (well…maybe not everyone) is trying to be “green” these days and for those of you still skiing, or those that forgot to put summer wax on, or those that just don’t have access to an iron, here is a fun way to harness the power of the sun to get your skis [...]
Randokitty Chutes the Moon
by May 4th, 2009Randokitty skis Chute the Moon. Last weekend, I got out with a great skier-friend of mine and finally “Shot the Moon”! Chute the Moon is hardly radical by TetonAT standards, but I had been staring at (and obsessing about) this aesthetic line on the north side of Peak 10,696 for most of this ski season. [...]
Waxing Fat Skis
by March 26th, 2009Considering it has just snowed 30″ in the last 36 hours in the Tetons, I thought this would be a good time to post this video about waxing fat skis. Have fun in the new snow today! Support TetonAT and keep your skis sliding though the spring season [...]

2009 Winter Outdoor Retailer Backcountry Basecamp
by January 22nd, 2009Rolled into the Winter Outdoor Retailer Backcountry Basecamp around noon yesterday and only had a few hours to check out the new ski gear, so I headed straight to the Black Diamond tent. BD was running a demonstration of the effectiveness of the AvaLung by burying OR show director Kenji Haroutunian and it was pretty [...]
