On Saturday we headed out to the backcountry for some powdery goodness. Frank had been enjoying feet of powder earlier in the week. There were definitely some leftovers to be found.

I don’t know the name of this face, but I decided to call it “Mini-Maroon”, because it looks like a minature version of North Maroon peak. This face tempted us, but the avy conditions were still to uncertain. So, we’ll have to try it on a later date.

Looking back at what we skied.

We were able to get in two laps on this face on Saturday. It was another fantastic day!

UPDATE: Rob posted a TR on Teton Gravity Research on 1/31. You can find it here:
