High pressure and bluebird skis was enough to get Randokitty and I out in the mountains for a couple nights last week. The plan was to camp about a mile from the mouth of Waterfalls Canyon and ski whatever looked good. Cold, sub-zero temps greeted us as we arrived at Jackson Lake for the crossing […]

Not quite the Otterbody, but here’s a little vidy from skiing the North Couloir of Eagles Rest Peak in the Northern Tetons. Randokitty and I camped out for a couple nights last weekend and did some skiing in Waterfalls Canyon. More from the trip later!
After returning from the big mountain ranges of British Columbia and Rogers Pass, the Tetons began to feel a bit on the small side. However, all it really takes is a step away from the norm to find solitude and vast expanses of new terrain. Here are some pics from a tour last week getting […]
Skinning across Jackson Lake yesterday
Approaching the summit of Youngs Peak TetonAT’s final day of skiing in Rogers Pass involved one of the most classic ski tours in the area and headed up the Illecillewaet Glacier to ski Youngs Peak under bluebird skies. A long day, but with Greg Hill and company with us, we would be able to move […]
Hover over images and click the arrows to advance the pictures. Big thanks to Greg Hill and Aaron Chance for showing the TetonAT crew around Rogers Pass for a few days. With bluebird skies and new snow, we had to play it safe in regards to avalanches a little, but we were still able to […]
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 […]
I’m very excited about my latest little movie and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I think it is my best yet! I know watching these little creations on days when I can’t ski…or at night when I’m dreaming about skiing…really helps with my “head”. I hope they help with yours. […]
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 […]
My infatuation with the Hossack-MacGowan Couloir on the Grand Teton continues with accounts from Andrew McLean, Mark Holbrook and Kris Erickson, on an attempt to ski the line with the belated ski mountaineer, Hans Saari. With our first study, we showed how Mark Newcomb and Hans Johnstone skied it in excellent conditions with an […]
