Climbing and Skiing Middle Teton
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 чер 2023
- Left town at 4 am and climbed 6k vert in 4 hours to the summit of Middle Teton. I was hoping to ski the east face which is one of my favorites in the Tetons, but the snow was too soft and the entrance was melted down to a vertical rock slab, so I had to ski the west couloir instead.
Since the west couloir didn't get sun till afternoon, I waited 2 hours on the summit for it to soften, but it never really did. Some terrible turns in the couloir, (sound on) followed by good corn, some rock walking and a couple miles of dirt back to the car.
It was a great chance to take the new ski I've been working on with Meier skis, The Teton out for a tour in the mountains I named them after.
Always a fun day, but the lines are way more melted out than I thought they would be after such a big winter. I'm getting close, but still #notoverit.

Really loving these end-of-season squeeze videos. Shows an authentic passion. You're still finding high altitude lines while everyone else is packing for the beach. Please keep it going till there's nothing left on the mountain X
You are such an incredible athlete. Just love your approach to exploring the mountains.
Thanks for sharing Owen! Very informative and awesome to watch
Glad you enjoyed it!
I miss the place. Never got up the Tetons. Nice route and video. Thanks for sharing.
Hell yes! Ski all year!
I've done that approach a couple times mid summer and it is a butt kicker. Coming down on skis looks way better than downclimbing all those boulders.
Definitely is
Its not end of season as you can dictate when it ends., Enjoyed all the thrill would love to try it too.
love these videos! amazing
Still a great day in the mountains. Love these videos - please keep them going!
Amazing man
Thanks 🔥
More of this. This is awesome
Absolutely beautiful scenery.
Longer vids are sweet!
Good stuff! Helpful, motivating videos.
Nice, thx! enjoy the longer format. Just right.Keep it coming!!
Thanks! Will do!
The worst, leaving ski socks at home! It happens!
Nice commitment
Got to ski safe when it's like that. I eat my corn at the movie theater. Come see us at Whitefish. I'll show you the chutes.
Great video! Thank you, Owen! I'm planning to hike Middle and South Teton this next weekend. I'm guessing the conditions are still comparable..?
Love your videos. What bindings do you use??
Was the down climb from the summit as sketchy as it appeared in the video?
one move was tricky because there was ice on the easy route down, it's not always that sketch, i've also been able to ski it
cool
😊
Stick with the winter. Why bother playing in this tiny bit of scattered snow and rocks?
3k of skiing is still worth it, and the views make it even better
