Last winter, ski mountaineer Santiago Vega completed the first known disabled descent of the Grand Teton’s Ford Stettner Couloir. The line is a testpiece ski mountaineering line off the highest point in the Tetons that requires multiple pitches of technical climbing and several rappels on the descent. Vega was born in Chile without the lower part of his right leg and has become an accomplished ski mountaineer throughout his life. He was joined by his friends and legendary local guides Mark Smiley and Tim Cohn who captured the mission in OnX Backcountry’s new short film Below the Knee, Above the Clouds.
