Buck Mountain Tetons Winter Day trip?
Me and a friend are going to the tetons the week of 4/30 and are looking for a reasonable 1 day ski mountaineering objective.
We are both novices but have our AIARE 1+Rescue, ski mountaineering courses, and I have climbed and skiied some smaller peaks (buffalo moutain elvis crotch, quandary peak, and atlantic peak NW face.
I was wondering if the east face of buck mountain would be a reasonable single day objective? It looks like death canyon trailhead might be the preferred approach? Is there a better objective for beginner ski mountaineers in the area?
Pic for attention!
