Last weekend my buddy's Brian, Brock, Jeff and I attempted to ski Mt. Moran via the Skillet Glacier route up in Grand Teton National Park. All of us had been wanting to ski this classic route for years. It is a 6,000ft coulior from peak to valley floor.
The weather slowed us down as it was too nice. Temps got into the upper 70's and the snow rotted out on us despite a 4 am start. As you can see from the pictures, the avalanche danger was through the roof and we ended up having to turn around short of the summit. Good to see some new areas of the park and camp out with some good buds. Skiing in shorts and t shirts is pretty rad.
The next set of shots are from this weekend. Cold, springlike weather has returned to Jackson. This has produced powder skiing in the higher elevations with June rapidly approaching...!
