re: 45 years ago today, Bill Briggs skis the Grand Teton

I was in Jackson Hole a few years ago with some buddies, and we were in the million dollar cowboy bar. An old guy was shooting pool. He was using one of those walkers that double as a wheelchair, and he had an oxygen mask.
One of my buddies convinced another one that it was Bill Briggs, so he goes over there and starts chatting him up telling him how much he admires him.
What makes Briggs' accomplishment greater is that he had to hike to the top in order to ski down. And he did both with a bum hip.
