Nice photos!
That guy is smiling.
High traffic these days- every attempt I couldn’t ski it. To many Mec”ers trying to side slip down it realizing its way over there skills. Skied climbers left- possible double hole in wall with ropes and ninja skills. We just went fall-line, drank brews at bottom and contemplated calling rescue on the group stuck in the classic that clearly had little ski skills....Quote:

Went for the waterman twice. Both times there was a big ice patch at the top. Ended up skiing the Y couloir the first time and north col the next time. Waterman(not sure if thats the spelling)i think is the most aesthetic and remains on the list. Attachment 331726Y on the left and waterman on the right

Purdy. Looks like you’d need to camp there for a week to get in as much skiing as you want
Nice place to set up camp for a weekQuote:

Leuthold's, such an aesthetic line. Surrounded by massive rime formations on the way up, a hell of a view from the top for sunrise, tight choke, onto 1500ft+ of powdery apron bliss

Nah we Bootpacked the whole thing. Would be sweet to get it in full winter conditions but was nice to be able to drive right in. scramble route looked honestly more difficult to get up then just kicking steps in a straight line for a couple hours.Quote:

Epic thread, perfect for hot humid dayze on the river plain. Thanks, all.
This pic of Steve Romeo in the chouinard couloir is one of my favorites of all time. Look at that slab he triggered on lookers right of the choke :fmicon:
tetonat.com is a lifetime of stoke if you’re ever looking for a reason to procrastinate. RIP Steve, thanks for the pics and the motivation!

Repeating the Morning coffee routine. Red sentinel couloir, great N facing pow line.
Approaching from the backside, East hourglass couloir is the obvious line right of the summit in the background.

Nice!! Already out after it. Looks like good coverage

^^, It was great coverage in the guts. Fan we managed to avoid all rocks but it was just a strip about 20feet wide that had a meter ish depth anything right or left of it was 30cms to rocks but super acceptable for November 1! Also a perk to be able to drive up the FSR for access W/out a sled.

Steve and I were coworkers and friends for years. We worked at Moosely seconds in summer of '97. He'd take a run for 5 miles into the park on his lunch hour. Dude was in crazy good cardio shape.Quote:

I says ok...
Fucking guy smoked half a bowl with me and kept the rest. We laughed about it later but at the time...
He was a special one for sure, saw and skied a ton of the Tetons most will never see.
Rip old friend.
And Onufer too.
Steve Romeo rocked. He helped me on how to rent a canoe for when I skied Moran. Then later on when I was attempting the Grand, me and my bud were camped in the Meadows and he and someone came skinning by as we were getting ready at 3 am - he’d left from the trailhead - and said “Just getting started?” Animal, and a cool dude.
Is there a TR for your Grand trip? I'd love to read about it.Quote:

By the time we got to the Stettner it was too late, we were seeing sluffs, and we especially didn’t want to be climbing as Steve and his guy were skiing down. So, turned around.Quote:

Life interruptions prevented further attempts.

I thought that was commonwealth lake/peak/couloir in kanannaskis country. Looks so much like it. Nice clear night though for youQuote:

we ran a quick beacon search of the debris (we didn't have eyes on the line when it slid, just noticed the powder cloud behind us) and got the fuck out of there. lessons learned - yikes.

Moran’s easier - once you get to the mountain - and makes a good warm-up.Quote:
