Disappointed indeed as we never did reach the summit due to hurricane force winds at 10,000ft, but the ski down the couloir was a worthy cause.
Another beautiful morning in Grand Teton National Park
Someday, I will get some lighter skis, but in the meantime, will continue to push these monsters around. They've done me well.
Looking back over Bradley Lake
Heading up the couloir to the ridge of Disappointment. The snow was breaking under my feet which made for slow going.
Looking at the South Teton and up South Garnet Canyon. The east side of the Middle Teton is the huge rock face on the right side of the picture.
We hunkered down in this wind-scoured alcove next to a prominent boulder up on the ridge to gather ourselves and prepare to bail out back down to the lower slopes. The wind was absolutely ripping up here and the summit was looking less and less enticing.
Fun ski though!
