Winter Returns to Jackson Hole: Blizzard dumps over two feet of new snow!
December 22, 2008 | Jackson Hole, Wyoming | Vetting explained
After a slow start to the winter 2008/2009 season, winter has finally showed up in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Winter storm warning and advisories remain in effect through 5 p.m. MST today. A strong Pacific storm has been pounding Western Wyoming for the past three days. Roads have been icy and treacherous. Teton Pass was closed this morning for avalanche reduction work as an early season weak snowpack layer poses problems for avalanche safety workers and road crews. More pacific storm flows are expected through the holidays. Travellers should use caution.
What makes for difficult travel on the roads, turns into sheer blis in the mountains. Jackson Hole Mountain Resort recently opened it's new 100 passenger tram. Skiers and Snowboarders should expect epic powder conditions though the new year.The riding is incredible. Winter has returned to the West!
