The Grand Teton
En Francais: The Big Boob!
When you are down in the valley known as Jackson Hole, there is one thing that commands your attention above everything else: the massive piece of rock called the Grand Teton.
Sure, the entire range is spectacular, sharp jagged peaks made even more impressive by the lack of foothills, but it’s that big one - the Grand that one is really drawn to with feelings of awe and respect. When you are a kid and think of what mounains should look like - that’s the perfect mountain vision you get in you head - quite triangular, sometimes purple - with snow as strak contrast. So beautiful you can stare at it for hours - days - years - a lifetime… Every time I am in the Hole, including this summer’s trip, I just couldn’t take my eye off the Grand!
And when you are there staring at it, it seems like it would be impossible to climb - much-less ski. But for some reason back in 1971, Bill Briggs decided to call the Grand a ski run. So in June of that year he climbed to the summit solo and linked some of the most historic turns in the history of skiing. He single-handidly started the sport of ski mountaineering in North America.
What can I say, the guy’s a stud. If you want the whole story, watch the movie STEEP - the story of that epic feat is the best part of the film - and the old guy recounting his tale is trly inspiring.
Ever since I heard about how he was the first guy to ski the Grand I considered Bill Briggs a superhero. Then, a few years ago, I saw a picture of Briggs playing his banjo with Bob Dylan. My reaction? “Holy crap! A kid from Hibbing got to hang-out with Bill Briggs!?!?! That is soooo cool! Robert Zimmerman is sooo lucky!”

Zach - Nice website and it’s great to see you supporting skiing and your local ski area.
I saw your post on meeting Glen Plake and wanted to be sure you did not miss the book The Edge of Never by Bill Kerig. It’s a great story about a kid going to ski Chamonix on teh run that killed his Dad when he was 6. Glen Plake plays a big role in the book. There is also a film out by the same name.
Have a great winter.
