: Nice pics man, I used to live in Driggs and Jackson. Thanks for the reminder that I have to get off the East coast. Do you know where I can get a pic of the legendary descent down the Grand by Bill Briggs?
I assume you mean the picture taken from an airplane of Briggs' tracks the day after his June 17, 1971 first ever ski descent down the Grand Teton. This was the photo that proved to the unbelievers that he did indeed make the descent as he claimed.
Bill Briggs was the director of the Snow King ski school and is considered by some to be the Father of American extreme skiing.
I have not seen the photo nor do I know where it can be viewed or is published. Anybody?
