^^, 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.

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

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!

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.

Once, he and I were riding up Sublette and I spotted a bag 'o weed on the snow. Natch, we skied down and just as I was ducking the rope, he says he better go get it because he has a jhmr jacket on and I couldn't afford another pass corner clip for ducking a rope right beneath the chair. 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.

I thought there was, but I can’t find it. I tried 2x, 2010 and 2011, never summited. First time, when Steve R. skied by, me and my partner were slow and groping around (Grand jongs). 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.

The next year we tried again (I thought I tr’d this too, but...) we camped at the JHMG platforms up by the Teepee but overnight a brutal storm blew in, collapsed the tent, and turned the perfect spring snow into frozen chicken heads so we bailed.

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 you

this is one of my favorite views of all time, fantastic pic!!

last year we attempted the middle teton couloir, and the whole time we were moving up the valley we were commenting on the wind. it didn't seem like we had enough fresh snow to transport, but while we were taking a break near the apron, we saw the whole thing come down - looked like a 6-12" that stretched 500'+. pretty spooky stuff.

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.

HA.. this is the reason I had a look too. It’s been 20 years but always a fav fall ski for me.

[AKbruin]

Thanks, Meadow Skipper. I need to leave my little corner of the world more often and the GT and MT are on my radar.

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

Ok it wasnt just me. Well done! I doubt there was really anyone else on it then apart from the 2-4 usual suspects and thats not a given.
Ive skied every slope on both sides surrounding the peak,lake, and ridges but pulled the plug at the top of the couloir after a drive from revy and 2hrs sleep. Probably the right call but still.....

Head down. Not feeling it
