Here's some old school ski stoke from the Middle Teton Glacier.
Steve Shea, who lives about a mile from Kokomas, was my next door neighbor for some years. This is arguably the first attempt at showing the more challenging aspect of big mountain skiing.
We'd talk about his exploits when he was young. Dude was/is still one tough mutha.
I see him at the vill occasionally, such an Ace and a genuine local legend.

I asked him once how he learned to ski steep terrain. He said when he was in Cham, guys like Vallencant and Boivin asked him to hone their ascent skills and they would hone his descent skills. Can you imagine?
