Mountains
EDELWEISS (1) Elevation: 9,060 ft
A small accessible mountain on the southside of Teton Pass, that offers great bowl skiing.MOUNT ELLY (7) Elevation: 9,300 ft
Mount Elly Serves up some of the best skiing on the south side of Teton Pass. The north face, commonly called the Claw, or the Bear Claw, is steep, narrow and full of fun features. Triple Direct offers a mellower day with fun open meadows and glade skiing. There are many possibilities from Mount Elly, and as long as you are on the North or North East Aspects, it will funnel you down to the lower parking lot.MOUNT GLORY (15) Elevation: 10,086 ft
A jackson hole classic. This mountain probably sees the most traffic than any other backcountry area in the Hole. Which is good for snow stability, bad for finding freshies.TAYLOR MOUNTAIN (2) Elevation: 10,352 ft
Taylor is the ultimate ski descent in the Southern Tetons. It is a massive mountain with challenging and exposed skiing. It is very avalanche prone laden with terrain traps, and claims the life of skiers every so often. It is generally skied in the spring when condtiions are safe.THE PYRAMID (3) Elevation: 9,670 ft
The Pyramid is the first nasty knob as one ascends the SE Ridge of the Rendezvous Peak Massif. It's hard to get up safely in the winter but the rewards are often worth a little risky skinning. The pyramid offers several thousand feet of great skiing on its South, East, and North aspects. To the West a steep, serrated ridge links it to the rest of the Rendezvous Massif.The view from the summit of the Pyramid is imposing. To the North intimidating chutes drop away. Across the gulch, Rendezvous Peak's prominent Martini Chutes look a bit more intense than they do from the valley floor.
There is no real safe route up or down The Pyramid if avy conditions are ugly. The NE Ridge ascent route offers the steep, cliffy face you just had to poke your way up. The SE Ridge presents a confusing smorgasborg of terrain. The South side goes from mellow glades to a mix of cliffed out ridges and terrain trap bowls followed by long, nasty chutes. The North face offers long, steep, exposed and uncertain chutes.
