Is it Freezing at Night in the Mountains?

Randosteve skis the Glacier Route on the Middle Teton on Thursday. Click here for larger image. I’ve been getting a lot of email’s lately of people asking me how I think the skiing is right now…if the snow is freezing at night…and about specific route conditions in general. Though I had heard reports of great […]

Return to Ross Lake in the Wind River Range, Day 2

Randosteve skis a Y-Couloir in the Winds. After a cold night in the Megamid, Mike and I finally forced ourselves out around 7:30. We didn’t feel the suns rays until almost 9, due to our proximity behind some large cliffs and it made putting our frozen boots back on that much harder. The morning coffee […]

Classic Quotes from the Shop

At the shop, we pretty much get inundated with questions all day. Some, like…Where are the bathrooms?…Can I get a fishing license?…and Where do I find the float trips?, are more reasonable than others, but occasionally we get ones that just blow you away and it is all you can do to keep from laughing. […]

Dike Pinnacle: East Ridge to Koch’s Couloir

In June of 2006, Reed Finlay and I skied the East Ridge of the Dike Pinnacle on the Middle Teton and then continued on to ski Koch’s Couloir down to the moraine. Here’s the trip report for the archives. I remember this descent vividly because it stands out a one of my favorite late season […]

Coloradians/Californians Taste Success in the Tetons

One of the cool things about having this blog is all the interesting people it has allowed me to meet so far. I often get emails, like daily, from total strangers interested in finding out more about Teton ski conditions and specific route beta. This past weekend, some skiers from Colorado and California were in […]

Turns from Teepee Col

Well I didn’t try too hard to find a partner last night, so I was skiing solo in the mountains today. I got on the trail before sunrise and was once again amazed by the alpenglow of the morning sun. I seem to have seen a ton of awesome sunrises this year. I had decided […]

Diagonal Couloir-Mount Owen

Well today is my Friday at work and I’m off to do some intervals on Snow King this morning. It is a bit warmer today and I look forward to some days off. I have some tentative plans to go big…but we will see what is up with the weather. Note: This TR is from […]

Sentinel Couloir-Dissappointment Peak

It has been a long weekend of working and partying, but unfortunately not much skiing. I’m working today but doing intervals on Snow King this morning. I won’t really be rando racing until February…so I still have some time to whip myself back into shape. I have the rest of the week off from work, […]

Southwest Couloir-Teewinot

Note: I am off work today and I think I am heading up to ski Wimpy’s. It looks like we only got a trace of new snow last night, but it is supposed to snow all day. Hopefully the wind will help and fill in the tracks before we get to the top. This TR […]

South Couloir, Teewinot

Note: Good Morning! Reading -16F at the airport this morning…brrrrr! I’m skiing The Sliver on Nez Perce today with Dustin Lemke. This is a TR from a great trip skiing the main South Couloir of Teewinot on December 17, 2004. Having found good coverage in the mountains lately, I figured a larger objective, the South […]
