You're sitting in the swealtering summer sun, soaking in sweat, swearing you'd do anything to ski soon. But while the rest of us in North America are awaiting winters frosty return, Jim and Mads are making things happen. The Jackson Hole, Wyoming-based duo set out for a 6,000-vertical-foot adventure in the dead of summer, looking to make turns in the high reaches of the Tetons. Spoiler alert: they got the job done. But did so with a camera in hand, so we can see how it's done. Mads charges on, Jim smells the flowers and we're here for the whole ride.

While you might be working on your tan and pretending pickleball is a sport… Jim and Mads are skiing the Grand Teton and Middle Teton in August. Because some people take summer off. And some people take skis to 13,000 feet. True skiers don’t wait for winter—they chase turns year-round.

Watch the full episode to see what these two maniacs get up to while the rest of the world is sipping seltzers.
