Teton Pass has become a Mecca for backcountry skiers and snowboarders. In 1998 we created the Ski and Ride Wyoming 22 stickers to celebrate this local treasure and as a way to give back to those who make it possible for the rest of us to safely recreate there. Wyoming22.com now furthers that original goal by providing a conduit for information to help everyone safely enjoy this community resource.
The Tetons received their first significant snowfall beginning yesterday and hopefully this storm is a harbinger of a good season ahead. Here’s a screenshot from the top of Teton Pass via their Web cam (available via a link in the sidebar over there to the right). Not sure what kind of weirdness is going on with their camera right now, but you can see a few cars (crazy, early skiers?) and a plow gettin’ after it.
Looking to the future, I happened across this image (I think it’s from NOAA) showing the typical jet stream pattern and seasonal weather conditions observed across the US during moderate to strong La Niñas.
