TR: a little skiing in the big tits
Things lined up perfectly this week for me to make a quick trip up to the Tetons to visit some old friends and old stomping grounds. Nothing ground breaking or unusual or super rad here but it was a kick ass little trip and hopefully it gets somebody stoked!
Taking advantage of the 80mph speed limit in the west to get the hell out of the tropical bullshit weather in SLC. God bless 'murrica
Really sad to top out on the bootpack and see the Glory hut gone. I guess someone brought a couch up and the forest service said, ENOUGH, and tore the whole thing down and hauled it off the hill
The skiing is WAY better than it is in the Wasatch right now
Looking stoic.
Pretty spicey lines on Taylor with the early season snowpack. I got cocky, clipped a rock, and cartwheeled down the slope scattering my shit everywhere like a total fucking asshole, and I was a little rattled after that, so I didn't get any pics of the skiing. But, it was pretty good, if a bit variable with some sun crust and wind affect and heavy graupely stuff.
Dried out gear and ate nachos and savored plenty of non 3.2% beer
So we were ready for a good alpine start that went off without a hitch
Wandered around in the dark for a while and managed to gain some solid elevation before the sun poked up
The Spoon. Zero wind, endless vis, bright sun. STOKE factor high.
Slogging (really not a very sloggy skin but anything feels like a slog when it's your third touring day of the season)
And just a wee bit of really very pleasant booting in nice firm styrofoam
grand teton national SPACE PLACE
Transitioning just below the summit which we didn't tag because I was fucking tired and being a wimp okay?
A firm, but very edgy styrofoam surface with plenty of wall to wall coverage made for an enjoyable and straightforward descent
Busting into some slightly more penetrable but not necesarrily better snow in the apron
Here's a photo of the line from a different angle with some dumb filter I put on with my camera becasue I thought it looked cool
I have a bajillion photos like this but one more never hurts (okay, i really just stopped to take it because my feet were all blistered and hurt like hell and I wanted an excuse to take a break from the endless slog back to bradley taggert)
And here's some fucking windmills, asshole.

Nice TR. Looked like a great early season outing, especially the stuff on Disappointment peak. I'm stoked to get over that way in a few weeks!
