Teton Pass has become a Mecca for backcountry skiers and snowboarders. In 1998 we created the Ski and Ride Wyoming 22 stickers to celebrate this local treasure and as a way to give back to those who make it possible for the rest of us to safely recreate there. We donate 2% of our net profits from these stickers to a local non-profit of our choice. Recipients include the Bridger Teton Avalanche Center, Teton County Search and Rescue, Friends of Pathways' Ambassador Program and others.

I’ve mostly let this blog go fallow for more than a year as I focus on other business pursuits, but a tragic event last week has prompted me to add this post and do a little much-needed maintenance over here.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you likely heard about the avalanche on Ranger Peak in Grand Teton National Park that claimed the lives of TetonAT blogger Steve Romeo and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort employee Chris Onufer. While I didn’t know Chris, I considered Steve a friend, and the passing of these two fine men has left a huge hole in the Teton skiing community and beyond. Rather than re-hash anything here, I will share some links to information that does a better job of telling the story than I can do here.
Rest in peace, Steve and Chris. You are and will continue to be missed…
