Powder skiing is generally a low-stress outlet for fun. As my aforementioned mishaps with climbing associated high-levels of stress with the venue through which I typically seek excitement I decided to spend my winter learning to ski. Below are a few pics from ski touring in Grand Teton National Park January through February, 2013. Objectives included: Turkey Chute, Chute the Moon, Albright Peak and the Skillet Glacier.
