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.
Chris had long complained about having to go to a dozen or more sites and pages to gather all the information needed (or at least desired) for a day of skiing, and I know he’s not alone. I’m sure many readers will recognize the data he has aggregated on this new site. I highly recommend checking it out and then bookmarking it. (You can also find it under Conditions in the sidebar of this site.) It will surely become your go-to site for all the info you need for a day in the Tetons.

This winter hasn’t quite been the winter of last, so any time we have the potential for significant new snow lately, people get excited. After a week of so-so snow fall, followed by a warm, dry weekend, this week looks to bring in quite a bit of new snow. Take a look at the GOES West satellite loop for the past 12 hours. There’s quite a bit of unsettled moisture streaming our way, and it appears to be slung inland with the help of a low pressure center off the Oregon coast.
