Middle Teton // Steep Skiing in Chouinard Couloir - Mountain trips

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Since shooting the first Mediocre episode here in Grand Teton National Park Ive always wanted to come back and ski the line Blake and I failed to complete. In this episode we manage to get back and ski Chounaird Couloir off the south face of the Middle Teton. Like most ski shots in this mountain range Chouinard is a steep and intense line which required all our cunning and skill to navigate safely

Hey! I have a suggestion for some future adventures! In southern Cali, there is a mount called San Gorgonio Mountain (11, 500 ft tall) that seems really fun and tough to climb. There are multiple routes up the mountain, the most popular one being the Vivian creek trail. Its 17. 5 miles out and back and it is mainly just trail, but in the winter there is some good mountaineering sections. Another route in Southern Cali is Mount San Antonio otherwise known as Mount Baldy (10, 064 ft tall) via The devils backbone. Its a 14 mile trail out and back and in the winter it can get pretty extreme. Both really fun mountains that have a lot of potential for some good adventures. Thanks for reading! I hope these are interesting. (All the trail data is available on AllTrails)

I absolutely adore these videos. Keep thinking, though, how is it possible that you guys are magnitudes more accomplished and better than me, yet I have been to so many more of the greater ranges (Andes, Himalayas) like you. I figured, since I only get to go on an adventure every few years, it really have to count. Nevertheless I'd love to see a bunch of videos from you from the Cordillera Blanca/Huayhuash or really from any exotic locations.

I am so envious! My knee replacement started failing almost 1 year ago leaving me stuck at my condo in north Thailand barely able to walk or get to real doctors and hospitals. As soon as this virus freakout is over I will go somewhere and try to get that knee repaired. So far I have had 8 knee operations. Take a tip for an old ski bum. Protect those knees!

Since you were asking about how to properly pronounce Chouinard Colouir - (named after Yvon Chouinard - French Canadian climber, environmentalist, owner of Patagonia, needs to have a french pronunciation: Shoe-wee-nard (the w is supressed to help transition the tongue from the ooo to the eee) Great video though!

SKETCH CHEE! Might be the 3rd pint of coffee talking, but my heart was racing as soon as i saw that you guys hadnt even reached the snow by sunrise. Im used to trying to summit at sunrise, before a decent like that. Have a feeling all three used up one of their cat lives that day. Stay safe out there

If you ever get the chance you have to hike the GR11 in the Pyrenees. It runs from the Atlantic in Spain all the way across the Pyrenees to Andorra; you won't get better views anywhere in the world. It takes around twenty days. You really should look into it; you won't regret it.

Sweet. Add Sierra High Route to the list. Also known as Sierra Haute Route. Been trying to traverse it west to east in under 30 hours for several years. 40 miles of high elevation sierras, its beautiful. Would love to see someone do it under 24 hours.

Some people might not recognize the production value here. Been on a mediocre amateur watching spree lately. Thanks for the hours of entertainment Danny et al!

I love your impeccable high standards for safety. It's absolutely safe until it's not: .I'm looking into investing in life insurance where I'm the beneficiary: )

Well this is a lot better than the video of you guys running on treadmills for like 13 hours in your basement, which is what I was expecting for your next vid.

Mediocre Amateur thoughts on the G3 Findr skis on hard snow, particularly edge grip? Im tossing up between the 86mm version and the Salomon MTN Explore.

I'm here to balance the chi, so true Christof! I'd go with Christof and Blake are the chi balancers to ensure that Danny doesn't run amok; -)

You can tell brown bears from their shoulders. Usually (basically always) bigger hump in the shoulders than a black bear.

As ever, incredible footage, spectacular editing and great dialogue. Pleased to hear there were no fatalities on the descent!

In case you havent heard this today. Your filmography is AmaXing! You guys rock and I absolutely love every video.

Is the internet broken or what? I came here for the comments of how that couloir should have been straightlined.

If you enjoyed hearing Danny complaining, check out his podcast News AF on rhap. You will not be disappointed.
