Jackson Hole, Wyoming received 60″ of new snow last week. This seasons current snowfall is now up to 188″. This new storm gave us the snow that we needed. While the new snow is great, it created some instability in the snow pack. Teton Pass was recently closed due to an avalanche that slid across the road. Below is a picture after they had cleared one lane of travel on Teton Pass. Be safe if you have the chance to go out and enjoy the new snow!
The snow is important not only during the winter but also during the summer. The whitewater rafting is better and the chance of fires is significantly reduced on years with more snowfall. With more snow in the forecast, we hope to have another amazing summer of whitewater rafting in 2012!
