First Descent on Yosemite Peak in Grand Teton National Park

Lee Lyon | Post Tag for BackcountryBackcountry

This video shows our buddies Dorian Densmore and Brandon Gust doing a traverse of the Tetons and doing a first descent of a couloir off of Yosemite Peak. Dorian put together a little trip report of the adventure on his blog.

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

โ€œWe 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. โ€˜It looked really skinny, but also like it just might be skiable.โ€™โ€ โ€“ Dorian Dunsmore

(Editorโ€™s note, the Tetons are โ€œplastered with snowโ€ right now and looking all time.  If youโ€™ve ever wanted a shot at skiing the Tetons, this could be your year.)

Impressive work gentlemen.
