With warm weather, blue skies and deep snowpacks still lingering in the high peaks of the American West, Zach Crist, Wyatt Caldwell and Erik Leidecker set out to explore their ski history in the Pioneers.

First Ascent ski guides Reggie and Zach Crist have been enjoying the excellent, early season snow conditions on their home turf in Sun Valley, Idaho. Here’s a look at how they’re spending the holidays with family and finding fresh powder! Merry Christmas from all of us here at Eddie Bauer First Ascent!
