High Mountains Helicopter Skiing planned to start flying powder freaks to unskied peaks at the south end of the Teton Range and the adjacent Snake River Range. Pilot Floyd Kjerstad would ferry Robin âBoomerâ McClure and his skiers to virgin peaks such as Creampuff, Hoback and Ramshorn.
⢠Yellowstone National Park and the Bridger-Teton National Forest created the
largest ânatural burnâ area in the country, where naturally caused fires on nearly 2.3 million acres would be allowed to burn under certain conditions. Although both agencies had allowed lightning-caused fires to burn over the past several year, the joint plan was unique in that it allowed fire to cross boundaries from one agencyâs land to otherâs.
