Jackson Hole is waking up to a powder enthusiasts dream. It’s been snowing sideways with intensity throughout the night, stacking up several inches in town. As any locals can attest, if it’s snowing hard in town, chances are it’s absolutely puking in the mountains!

A strong winter storm system has zeroed in on the Greater Teton Region and shows no signs of slowing down. Winds are howling in town, creating difficult driving conditions. The Bridger-Teton Avalanche Center has raised its hazard warning to HIGH today, the first time they have done so this season. As we all flock to the mountain to experience the biggest powder day of the season, be smart and stay safe! Check back with you later today…
