Teton Range from West to East

Easter Sunday, we continued to enjoy the beautiful clear skies and skied from Teton Canyon on the west side of the range up and over Table Mtn and out Avalanche Canyon to Bradley Taggart. This is definitely a must-do route for any backcountry skier who enjoys spending time up high in the range. No big peaks. No huge lines to ski. No long pitches of powder to enjoy. Just a long tour up in the high country. And well worth the effort!

After a 5am start, we reached the summer TH and the beginning of the climb up to Table. 2,000ft up and we were looking back down Teton Canyon into Teton Valley, ID

10,000ft and nearing the big peaks



We skied the south side of Table (crispy!), traversed over to Hurricane Pass, and had this view to the north down South Cascade Canyon.

Our three lines off of Hurricane Pass over Schoolroom Glacier and across the frozen glacial lake.

Arriving at the Avalanche/South Cascade Canyon divide

Mt. Wister and Buck Mtn across the upper reaches of Avalanche Canyon

The Amora Vida Couloir. This one's still very much on the list.

The most unusual avalanche debris. It was like a million softballs had run down the slope and frozen together. We were skiing over this mess that appeared to have come down the day before. It was fresh. By this time, it was close to 1pm, the day had warmed up considerably, and we were glad to be on our way down and past the slide paths as we were now seeing and hearing sluffs off some of the steeper areas on the south and east facing aspects that were receiving the sun. We arrived at Bradley Taggart a bit past 2pm. A 9 hour tour. And we realized we hadn't seen a single other person out there the entire time.
