A Grand Finale – Cowboy Powder in The Ford Couloir – Grand Teton – GTNP, WY (05.27.23)
On May 27th Vinny Gwinn and I climbed and skied the Ford-Stettner route on the Grand Teton, the likely punctuation to another phenomenal ski mountaineering season in the Tetons.
“Stuart Draw Triple” – Skiing Static Peak, Buck Mountain and Peak 10,696 In A Day – GTNP, WY (05.20.23)
Albright, Static and Buck is the classic, but I think this one might be more logical, at least for skiing. A ~7000 vertical foot day, somewhere in the realm of 10-13 miles, on the three peaks that crown the Stuart Draw drainage – one of the best this season.
Committed – Zorro Snowfield, Spalding Peak – GTNP, WY (05.18.23)
The Zorro Snowfield is a mythical ski mountaineering descent on the northeast aspect of Spalding Peak, a winding, unintuitive journey down 1,300 feet of steep off-camber ramps underpinned by a monstrous (nearly quarter mile wide) cliff. Sadly, our conditions didn’t align for the most stylish descent, but descend we did.
