06.30.11 Skiing June

By Chris D.
Glacier Route - 4

Last Sunday, myself and Ty Cook & Andrew Reynolds tackled the Glacier Route on the Middle Teton. Leaving at 2AM from Lupine Meadows parking area, we managed to ascend the Southwest Couloir on the Middle and descend via the East Face in around 10 1/2 hours (car-to-car). Despite what may easily rank as the most commiting ski line I've ever untaken, snow conditions remain super fat above 9,500 ft!

(Meadows camping area in Garnet Canyon is still covered by 20ft+ of snow)
