DESCRIPTION:

John Simms of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort Ski Patrol invented Life-Link's avalanche probe. He also invented other avalanche forecasting equipment that he sold to Life-Link. John and fellow patroller Charlie Sands, who started Sands Wild Water River Trips, were the first people to drop in to the couloir adjacent to Corbet's Couloir — giving it the name S&S Couloir.

Simms was not the only inventive patroller at JHMR. Bobbie Fuller invented a strap to keep his sunglasses on that led to his early retirement. The straps are knows as Croakies and are found all over the world.
Why is it called _____?
We already mentioned how the famous Corbet's Couloir, Pepi's Run and Dick's Ditch got their names, but what about the other runs? Most of the runs were named after the geographic features of the valley. The ridges are named for the early mountain men who explored the area and the bowls are named for cities and towns in Wyoming. Over time almost every mountain feature has picked up a nickname, mostly for navigational purposes and for ski patrol to locate lost or injured skiers.

EARLY SKIING IN JACKSON HOLE1930s — Banty Bowlsby and the Hicks brothers — Sam, Ed, and Joe — were known as the Hoback Boys. They were superb racers and fearless jumpers and put together a ski circus that included jumping through rings of fire and other amazing feats. They used homemade skis with no ankle supports and single poles eight feet long! Banty went on to replace the base of skis with melted-down phonograph records, the only material of the sort available to him.
