Today marks the 3rd anniversary of the death of Doug Coombs, one of the greatest skiers to ever have lived. Please remember him with respect and a prayer to whatever spirit you believe in tonight, as you lay down to sleep. I’m sure skiing the clouds is better than skiing powder. You are truly missed […]

Shane McConkey, 1969-2009. Legendary big mountain skier, BASE jumper, saucer boy and general sickbird, Shane McConkey died today in a ski BASE jumping accident in the Italian Dolomites. Details are hard to find, but word is that there were complications with one of his skis coming off during free fall. Shane reportedly did a double […]
As usual, Greg Hill put together an interesting video (in his own quirky way) from a couple days skiing with him and his bros in Roger’s Pass. Watching this brings me back to the big views and amazing terrain the place has to offer. A must-do trip for any dedicated backcountry skier. Thanks for the […]
Racers make their way up Ten Sleep Bowl. It looks like the best man and woman won at the Dyanfit US Ski Mountaineering National Championships. Fresh off the grueling four-day Pierra Menta stage race in Europe last week, both Pete Swenson and Monique Merrill were able to recover and recharge their batteries enough to come […]
Skinning across Jackson Lake yesterday

Aaron Chance calls off he rescue. The skies finally broke up here in Canada after dumping about 40cms of snow on top of surface hoar and near surface facets. Over the past few days we’ve seen snow running like water down steep slopes and have kicked off numerous soft slabs. Some running a good distance […]
Randosteve helps out fellow skier/blogger Greg Hill. “Is anyone headed up to Revelstoke today?” Randosteve, “Yeah.” The hostel manager hands me the phone. “Hello…this is Steve.” “Romeo? It’s Greg Hill. My car broke down on my way back to Revelstoke last night. They think it’s the fan belt and is only going to cost $100. […]
I’m pretty sure, by law, snowmobiles are only allowed on Jackson Lake for ice fishing access. Looks like these cats were fishing for something else! I can’t help to wonder how often Mount Moran (and other north district peaks/lines) would get skied on a regular basis if everyone decided to ignore the snowmobile policy on […]
One thing I love about having this website is communicating with all the other skiers from around the world. Many of us come from the same mold and we are all passionate about our skiing. One particular TetonAT.com visitor, whom I only know as “Matus”, is from Slovakia and comments often on these pages. Recently, […]

Pretty rad ski and snowboard film by Guido Perrini (www.guidoperrini.com). This segment is about 35 minutes long, so be sure your coffee cup is full or you’ve got a fresh brewski in hand. Time well spent for sure! TetonAT.com Videos from Randosteve on Vimeo.
Congratulations to….well…not so fast. First I want to thank all those that entered the TetonAT.com Trip Report Contest.
