Pull up a chair, crack a beer, sit back and listen to a Teton Gravity Research Bar Story. In this episode, learn about the historic first descent of Pontoon Peak in Alaska’s Chugach Mountains. Located between Cordova and Valdez, Pontoon Peak is one of the prized ski descents in the range. While an iconic photo has lead many skiers to believe Trevor Petersen and Eric Pehota skied it first, let...

In part three of Teton Gravity Research’s web series Behind The Full Face we see big mountain skier Ian McIntosh take a leadership role in the TGR crew. In 2010, McIntosh leads the charge on TGR's exploratory trip to Petersburg, Alaska. By taking a fixed-wing plane into the untamed mountains, McIntosh scopes the lines, maps the zone and decides what to ride. Citing Jeremy Jones as an inspiration...

With the first snow in the valley we figured we’d give you one last blast of summer before we fully commit to the changing season.

Among the tens of thousands of photos in the Whistler Museum archives, Neal Carter's are my hands-down favourites. Carter was one of the most prolific mountaineers on the BC Coast during the 1920s and 1930s. In an admirably ahead-of-his-time move he even managed to turn his climbing hobby into a career, getting a summer job as as a surveyor for hydro crews around Garibaldi Lake, and then...

Home before noon after sawing through a few meaty cornices and sinking your teeth into a couple of juicy spine runs? Here's a video by Daryl Treadway that makes a great case for sled skiing.

A little bit of mid February ski mountaineering on the coast. We set up a base camp behind Fitzimmons and waited a couple days of whiteout; eventually skiing Cheakamus, Overlord, Benvolio, and a lap on Fissile on the way out.

A short of a great day out with Mark Hartley, Greg Hill and Conor Hurley. We summited and shreded the south faces of both 8812 and Ursus Minor. GT would have been proud. Parks Howitzers were giving him the 21 gun salute that he deserved.

The Lyngen Alps are Norway's, and maybe Northern Europe's, best place for steep skiing and boarding. No crowds like in the Alps, no helis like in Alaska, and not expensive and remote like Greenland or Svalbard!

Deep in the pits of Transformer ridge lies Optimus Press: a long diagonal couloir thats just sits there right in front of you askin for it. Climbing up underneath the 50 ton cornice is no comfy feeling but getting to ski a line that some of your bros and have bragging rights over is.  The hangover is another chute across the valley that we found when.....well.... we were hungover and...

Mount Currie looms over Pemberton and constantly draws my attention away from whatever else I'm supposed to be doing when I'm in view of the north face. For the last couple of years I have been looking constanly at this line that runs above the Pencil chute and above a fairly large cliff band. Having watched it fill in and melt out through a telescope for a couple of years, skied the Pencil...
