The Middle Teton has had more ski descents from its summit than any other Teton peak and is probably the most skied in the entire Teton Range. This is the most popular route to the summit and the most popular ski descent. This hike begins at Lupine Meadows and follows the south fork of Garnet Canyon to the saddle between the South and Middle Teton. Once at the saddle take the largest most obvious couloir heading to the summit. If the route is taken in the winter, roads to the trailhead will be closed. If this is the case, begin the route in the city of Moose.

Telemark Meadows offers easy terrain with good deep snow. It is a great place for beginners or to just practice up your turns. The skiable vertical is short but the excellent stable snowpack make for fun and safe skiing. If the main routes are all skied out, head further up the hill to find some untouched snow. This is located inside the Yellowstone Park boundary so a permit is required.

This is a popular ski down the Northeast Couloir of the South Teton. The route begins at the Garnet Canyon trailhead. The South and Middle Tetons share the same trail until it splits at the saddle between the two peaks. From the saddle, the route follows the northeast couloir to the summit. The ski down follows the same route as the ascent. If done in the winter, a further hike in will be needed as the road is closed to the trailhead. Recommended to ski in early or late winter when the road is open.

Located just southeast of Grand Targhee Resort, Peaked Mountain and Mary's Nipple are both popular for great backcountry powder turns. These summits both have breathtaking views of the Teton Mountains. The route begins at Grand Targhee parking lot and climbs east along the ridge to the top of Peaked Mountain and then to Mary's Nipple. This is an amazing and treeless ski off the west face of Mary's Nipple into the valley below. After this run, climb back up to Peaked Mountain and drop off the north face for steep and beautiful turns. Heading west along the valley floor leads back to the parking lot. There are numerous backcountry options on either of these two peaks with relatively easy access.

Claimed to be some of the best backcountry snow in the nation, Teton Pass is also easily accessible. Located at the southern end of the Teton Range, the Teton Pass provides access from the Jackson Hole valley to the Teton Valley of eastern Idaho. This route begins at a parking along the pass and climbs north up a ridge to the top of Taylor Mountain. There are two separate descents on this route. The first descent drops down a steep treeless east face into the valley below. The second route heads down a southeast chute that is nearer to the parking lot. Both are amazing skies and there is avalanche risk on both as well.

The Sliver Couloir on Nez Perce is a beautiful line you can see from the highway. The sliver is a Teton classic that sees a lot of traffic. However, with slopes reaching near 50 degrees in the couloir, it is in prime avalanche terrain and should only be tackled by the experienced backcountry skier. The widest section can be 10 yards to 20 yards max with granite rock on both sides. After the couloir, you can ski most of the way back to the trailhead. A national park pass is required.

Along the north face of the Grand Teton lies the largest glacier in Grand Teton National Park, Teton Glacier. During winter months, take the full route from Moose, as Teton Park Rd is closed. In fall or spring, access will be much closer. The route goes around Jenny Lake and up Cascade Canyon. From the canyon, you'll climb up the north side of the Grand and onto the glacier. It is recommended to ski the same way you climb, so you know the terrain.

Beartooth Pass can be accessed only by snowmobile from October-May. This is a classic spring run that offers 800 skiable vertical feet. The descent begins right from the parking lot down to the shoreline of Twin Lakes. Then it’s a steep boot pack back to the top for another lap.

Beartooth Pass can be accessed only by snowmobile from October-May. This is a classic spring run when they open the road, that offers 800 skiable vertical feet. This route begins in the more southern pullout. The descent leaves right from the car down to the shoreline of Twin Lakes. The descent is a bit shorter, but steeper than the drop a further south. It is a steep boot pack back to the top for another lap.

The Middle Teton is probably the most skied high peaks in the Teton Range and has had more ski descents from its summit than any other Teton peak. This ski follows the Middle Teton Glacier climbing route and then skies down the glacier. This is a very technical climb and an ascent to the summit does not need to be made to ski the largest, lower part of the glacier.
