Dude…are you freaking kidding me??? Is this the ultimate way to get your afternoon turns? I got a few chuckles out of the commentary of this video, especially towards the end. But the real deal is just the thought of being able to fire up your own little Super Cub and jam up into your […]

Two days after skiing the Amora Vida Couloir on the South Teton, a fellow skier and friend, Wray Landon was killed in an avalanche while skiing the same route. It has taken me a little while to be able to look at the footage, and a few tears were shed while making this video and […]
I think Olympic level skiers are the best and most skilled skiers in the world, and it’s cool to see that US Olympic skier Julia Mancuso recently competed in the Verbier Xtreme comp. Julia placed third, behind Ane Enderud and Jess McMillan (watch their runs here…and here), in the event. Which is pretty good considering […]
Some of you many know about the plans to build a bouldering park at the base of Snow King this summer. Rumor has it that Teton Boulder Project is over the halfway mark in collecting funds for its construction. Part of the design element is having a steel retaining wall, in the shape of the […]
I meant to post this at 1am this morning…when I woke up to go skiing…but forgot. I’ve got a couple more posts from the Fairy Meadows trip if people are interested, but I figured we’d take a break for now. Check out this Skiing Mount Everest trailer. I remember hearing about Mike Merolt and company […]
Man…I need some POV tips from this guy…and maybe some ski lessons?! “Guy”…meaning…Andrew Whiteford, a JHMR sponsored skier.

This is a very nice little viddy that follows some Salomon skiers as they try to ski lines into the crater of Chile’s Puyehue volcano. It takes them a coupe tries to succeed…mainly because of weather…but they win in the end and score what looks to be some rad skiing.

Lacelle was climbing in the Ice Breaker competition as part of the Bozeman Ice Festival, where a local climber pairs with a non-local to climb as amny routes in […]
I’m killing time in Ushuaia right now before my flight to Mendoza tomorrow and I thought I’d share this video that was sent to me by Ryan Bougie from his and Marcus Wharing’s ski descent of the Archangle Ridge on Mount Foraker this past spring. Pretty wild to see these guys nail this descent on […]
In 1996, Canadian extreme skier Trevor Petersen died while skiing the Couloir des Cosmiques in Chamonix, France. His body was found on the Glacier Ronde, two days after his death. Trevor’s skiing style was classic for the time and often ripped around with Eric Peota, who I was lucky to meet at last year’s Kootenay […]
Legendary Austrian ski racer, Hermann Maier, announced his retirement from ski racing yesterday, after winning 54 World Cup races, 4 Overall World Cup titles, 3 World Championship titles and 2 Olympic gold medals. He is 37 years of age and fought back tears as he announced his decision to retire. Though Hermann was sent home […]
If any of you out there visit the Dynafit home website by using the link on the North American microsite as much as I do, then you’ve seen this video intro a few thousand times now. But I figure many of those who visit TetonAT may have missed it. It’s kinda stokey…and gets me pumped […]
The Red Helmet is a fun short film that was highlighted in last year’s Banff Mountain Film Festival. When watching the trailers picking out the films for the festival here in Jackson last year, I remember this one as one that definitely made the cut. Although there is no skiing in it, it has some […]
Just in case you missed this video of Cody Townsend slaying a “secret” couloir …as it seems to be blowing up on Facebook and the skier’s-web in general.
About once a month, someone suggests that I put together an updated Teton Range backcountry skiing guidebook. Some big time publishers included. IMHO however, with Tom Turiano’s: Teton Skiing, A History and Guide and Select Peaks of Greater Yellowstone, as well as Jackson and Ortenburger’s: A Climbers Guide to the Teton Range, I feel like […]
I found out about the One Mountain project last winter while researching some stuff on the web and hearing about the filming up on the Grand Teton. The movie is a feature length documentary that focuses on two Jackson skiers’, Hunter Wood and Dan Petrus, dreams of skiing the Grand Teton. (Kind of like the […]
When I originally posted about the first descent of the Archangel Ridge on Mount Foraker, it was questioned by some. Thanks to Marcus Waring for putting this trip report together and setting the record straight, and congratulations on a successful first descent of an amazing ski line. –Steve.

It’s rare when a ski movie is all shot is one location, but in the new Sweetgrass Productions film “Signatures”, the crew from Breckenridge really captures what skiing is all about with nearly all the footage shot in Japan. What is skiing all about you say? Well…its’ about the turn…the power…and the soul. Now, “Signatures” […]
There are a few ways to approach Granite Peak in the Beartooth Mountains, but most people use the East or West Rosebud trailheads north of Red Lodge, MT. Research states that the East Rosebud trailhead might be slightly easier because it avoids a multitude of switchbacks if one uses the West Rosebud trailhead. Here’s how […]
