TETON PASS

EDELWEISS

Backcountry Skiing — Intermediate skiing skills; basic skinning skills.

Edelwiess Bowl is the classic Teton Pass tour! A gentle skin away from Teton Pass takes you to your first run and then you're off in the woods. Edelweiss Bowl itself is 800' of sweet powder skiing and provides easy access to many other bowls with similar opportunity. At the end of the day, we either skin back to the top of Teton Pass or follow gravity down to the highway at the base.

GLORY

A 1600' hike up the bootpack leads you to the summit of Glory Bowl--no skins required! This tour is great for snowboarders or skiers who lack touring gear. But you have to be able to carry your board or skis by strapping them to your pack. You'll find multiple descent options, many offering almost 3000' of turns down to the base of Teton Pass where we'll leave a second vehicle to shuttle us back to the top.

MT. OLIVER

TAYLOR MOUNTAIN

Taylor Moutnain is a Teton Classic. The climb starts from the parking lot at Coal Creek and climbs 3000' to the summit. Though it's a challenging climb, you'll take breaks on the way up to enjoy the incredible scenery. Once you break out of the trees, you'll have spectacular views of the Teton Valley and the entire Teton Range. But the real payoff comes once you strip your skins and make turns in the biggest terrain the Teton Pass backcountry offers.
