Winter isn’t done with us yet. The powder keeps falling here in the Tetons. Yesterday the mountains received another 16″ new snow and more is predicted for today and tonight.
So how did this winter turn out for powder skiers? Pretty good, I’d say- especially good if you ski Alta and Snowbird! Alta is reporting 676″ [...]
Maybe the calendar says its Spring, but Mother Nature is back in winter mode this morning. Decent snow fell across the Tetons last night with Grand Targhee scoring the biggest hit with 12″-13″ being reported this morning. Over on the east side of the range Jackson is reporting half a foot.

All the riders in any private vehicle arriving arriving between 8:30-11:00 AM with three or more people in it will each get [...]
The New York Times has taken an interest in the West’s avalanche conditions this winter with three articles so far. Today they profile a the serious study of snow being done by Dr. Ed Adams, a professor of civil engineering at Montana State University in Bozeman. In his newly completed “cold lab” he is seeking [...]
The National Weather Service is prediciting a chance of snow in the rainy weather they say will dominate the Tetons this weekend. Radar shows a large mass of precipitation coming ashore over Oregon, so the odds are the higher elevations will get a whitening.
