My friend Rick Wyatt had just done the first telemark ski descent of The Grand Teton solo. We took a flight around the range to shoot his ski tracks. Shot on Fuji Provia 100 back in the early 80s.

You skied that? No way, it look suicidal. I know you did, just perfectly amazed.

Without the picture it would be hard to believe that could be skied. Absolutely incredible.
Thanks for sharing this.

Wow, the ultimate pucker factor! 
I cringe just looking at the picture, and I've jumped out of a perfectly good airplane.
Oh yeah, a stunning image.

Ben, I've never skied this, those are my friend Rick's tracks (in my prime I could have done the part you see here, which is pretty easy compared to the middle section). Monika, not sure about those other tracks. They might be Rick's from a first warm-up run on that easier upper section. I'll have to ask him.
Hmm, in my prime I could have rolled to the bottom in a big snow ball. But then I have never sky'd. Still much respect to you mountaineers.
