Mountain Climate: “The Tetons are known for their alpine appeal. It’s easy to get above treeline where a variety of conditions exist. For day trips, I bring medium long underwear and hard shell pants. I’ll wear a mid-weight base layer, depending if I’m going up or down, and a fleece or Schoeller jacket with regards to ambient air temps. I stow a down piece for changeovers, and if it’s really nuking I’ll throw on an ultra-light hard shell.”
Prescription:
When Aaron is skinning, Moonstone’s Nordwand Jacket (moonstone.com), worn in conjunction with Millet’s Airstretch Fleece (millet.fr) allows him to peel and put on layers that accommodate a large gamut of Teton conditions. Mountain Hardwear’s ultra-light Swift Jacket (mountainhardwear.com) and Millet’s Rescue Down Hoodie (millet.fr) stow well in his pack, so if a storm picks up or the temp drops, Aaron has choices.
