This has been a good news- bad news few days for those of us who love winter. Yesterday, an American President finally stepped up and told the car makers they had to improve gas mileage averages for their car and truck fleets ( meaning-less importing of foreign oil, less pollution, few dollars spent at the [...]
It’s May 1st and there’s more fresh powder on the Tetons again this morning, even down to 6000′ in the valley there’s a dusting. If the SNOTEL measuring is to be believed it looks like there’s about 4″ of new snow in the mountains, and the sun is shining! Could be a fun morning to [...]
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.

Just for fun, since these Pacific [...]
