First Descent on Yosemite Peak in GTNP

“Brandn n Dorian Traversed the Tetons and put down a new Yosemite ski root on the way. Classic.” -Greg Collins (the guy who skied the north face of the Grand)

Dorian Densmore entering the first crux on the “Yosemite-Cham” coulior in Grand Teton National Park.  He and Brandon Gust established this new ski route on Yosemite Peak April 12th, 2013.

We Left from Alta, Wy at 9 am and headed out on our way over the Tetons to hit a new coulior we had been looking at. “It looked really skinny, but also like it just might be skiable.”

B-Dogg entering the first crux. Pretty skinny, folks.  After hella side-stepping and some nice pow turns, we were really feeling the extreme J-hole vibe.

Skiing Couloirs in Argentina

this photo is taken during a storm, it was really foggy and windy, but we decided to ski this couloir because with the narrow rock walls we would have better visibility.
