BUCK
BUCK
Buck Mountain is where a lot of Jackson Hole skiers cash in their v-card into Teton Ski Mountaineering. The East Face is the most sought after line on the mountain. It is aesthetic and gets steep, (around 45 degrees) near the top). Their is exposure as the upper face has 700 foot cliffs below. Barry Corbet skied it with his boots unbuckled.

You access Buck via the Death Canyon Trailhead which is closed for the winter adding a couple extra miles to the normally six mile trek.

The North Face of Buck offers some of the most Gnarly Teton lines in the range like the Newcomb Couloir and Bubble Fun couloir.
