Skier Griffin Post and a production crew started out at 2 a.m. with headlamps and crampons to make the seven-hour push up to the exposed summit of the Middle Teton in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. Post's descent, launching from the 12,804-foot summit into a no-fall zone and down 2,500 feet to the drainage below, is the embodiment of athleticism and progressive big-mountain style. His full ski descent took less than 50 seconds.
