I am so fortunate (thanks to my buddy Chris Morgan recommendation) to have explored one of the most beautiful and remote places I have ever travelled in the USA.
View from where I am staying 
40 deg days and 2 deg nights… 
Apres…Stanley style 
Looks like the Tetons…right. But not the craziness of Jackson. Peaceful.
Was fortunate to book the Sawtooth Mountain Guides for two days of Backcountry skiing in this magical world– so impressed with their operation…and most of all for my kickass guide Everett Coba.
Backcountry skiing was awesome, spring conditions. Everett is a machine so he took me on about 20+ miles and 8,0000 feet of beautiful vertical over two days. We skied some of the best corn ski I have been in years. For non skiers, corn is snow that freezes at night, and just enough (i.e. perfect) warm/sun hit it and when you ski it…all you can do is smile! Like skiing a perfect glazed ice cream sunday….
a bit different than Teton pass…nobody here!

NW trees…one of our runs 
A good team 🙂 
Corn Snow! Love it…
Tomorrow off to the Wasatch (SLC, UT) and then a stop to ski & camp (near Steamboat) a brand new ski area (no lifts)…called bluebird backcountry. Then on Friday pick up Lucia and Sonja in Denver! Get two weeks with them as well as Ms Ruby my sweet, talented/beautiful niece — Crested Butte CO (Skiing) and then down to AZ for some non skiing! sun and visits. Also working to coordinate spending time with Kristian and Erik (still working schedules). I miss them!
Cheers…the journey continues (Send-IT! and Driver)
You are right Bri…….so beautiful. Can’t wait to see you and the clan. Be safe.
for sure…look forward to the AZ trip for sure with Lucia and Sonja!
Stanley Idaho looks amazing…very cool.
Of course pictures don’t give it justice! We need to get our wives comfortable on AT gear and do one of the many huts out here. There are a few that are surrounded by low angle / easy skiing. Would be awesome! Need to book a year out.
Just took the tour of the ski areas you are exploring. My favorite is the photo Morgan captured of you skiing down the mountain with the Bell flare. The moment in time that you want to but in a special memory bottle. Thanks for all the family pictures – everyone look so healthy.
Thx Marshall. Great journey. Chris Morgan is a talented guy…no doubt! Thx for the note!
