A friend and I are headed for the Tetons to do some climbing.

Utah "winter" is a bust.

I'm not sure I've experienced worse snow conditions this time of year.

Conditions on Liberty Ridge seem to be more dangerous in recent years than before.

Thanks for the input. I'm not familiar with the Powerhouse couloir. What's it like? How would I recognize it once I get up on the dana plateau?

Thanks!

That's just what I was looking for.

I really like the Victorian Inn.

Clean rooms, cheap rates, good breakfast, nice proprietors, friendly dog, close to the ice park.
