Skiing Incredibly Steep 60 Slope Inside Grand Teton National Park

"Starting with a simple jump off the cornice into a 60 degree slope. The steepest pitch you've ever been on."

"This is the steepest entrance to a ski line I've ever done, and requires full commitment right from the get go. I couldn't have possibly got it in better conditions. The only thing that didn't go exactly according to plan was getting completely blinded right before the first air of the double-out. In a moment, I decided to proceed with the line without vision, and trust my prior visualizations, and I came out of the cloud with just enough time to spot my landing and stomp. Skiing out around the giant slough cloud was pretty surreal as well."

Teton Brown spent five years planning to push an already gnarly Grand Teton line to a higher level until conditions and timing aligned. The line begins with a cornice jump into a 60-degree slope and demands immediate, full commitment from the skier. Brown encountered ideal conditions overall but was suddenly blinded just before the first air of a double-out. He proceeded through the cloud by trusting his prior visualizations, emerged with enough time to spot and stomp the landing, and described skiing out around a giant slough cloud as surreal.
