Romeo was a prominent figure in the backcountry ski community of Jackson Hole, Wyo. He founded and ran the popular ski blog “Tetonat.com” which covered backcountry skiing throughout the Tetons as well as extensive gear reviews. Romeo was killed on March 7, 2012 in a large slab avalanche on Ranger Peak in the northern part of the Teton Range of Wyoming. Some criticized Romeo’s skiing as being somewhat reckless, yet most of the ski community saw Romeo as a preeminent American ski mountaineer who constantly pushed the boundaries of skiing in the Tetons.〔 Others saw him as another self-promoting eastern transplant. Together with Cary Smith, Pete Swenson and Chris Kroger, he finished ninth in the relay event of the 2006 World Championship of Ski Mountaineering. He was also known as "Randosteve", "Randomeo", "Randobewan Skinobee", "Skeve", "Ex-Steve", "Stevester", and "Stelvester Stallone".〔(''TetonAT.com'' ) by Steve Romeo.〕 == Biography == Romeo was originally from Manchester, Connecticut, and following graduation from Marist College in 1993, he moved to Jackson Hole to work as a lift operator at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.〔 Romeo started the backcountry ski blog TetonAT.com in 2006. The site had a daily audience of over 10,000 visitors.〔 The popularity of TetonAT, coupled with Romeo’s relatively high profile within the ski community, led Romeo to eventually gain sponsorships with the following industry leaders: Black Diamond, Dynafit, Arc’Teryx, Ortovox, GU, Nuun, and Mountain Khakis. Romeo skied across the globe, including notable stops throughout Europe, South America, New Zealand, Alaska, and Antarctica.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Steve Romeo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
