Learn about Tom Jungst’s experiences as an extreme skier and climber at the Los Alamos Mountaineers meeting on Tuesday, June 25. This talk will start at about 7:15 p.m. at the Los Alamos Nature Center. The Mountaineers’ meeting will begin at 7 p.m. and cover information about upcoming outings. The event is free to attend and is open to the public.
Jungst took extreme skiing to another level in the early 1980s by combining his skills as a ski racer with ice and rock climbing. He created complex routes from Europe to Alaska to the Northern Rockies. The remote peaks of Montana became a testing ground for a new style of extreme skiing that led features in every major ski magazine and even “Rolling Stone.” By the mid 1980s, Jungst was skiing for Warren Miller and the wild crew put together by Greg Stump. Join Jungst at the Mountaineers meeting to hear more about his career and the ups and downs of his mountain adventures.
