Nearly 100% of our snowpack is isothermic .Any plans anyone has about big Teton peaks need to be thought out carefully.It is supposed to snow/rain for next 2 days w/ significant accumulation/precipitation. It is ugly here.

Our 100% isothermic snow pack melted and refroze, solid as a rock. It is April and we finally have a base. If you were planning on hitting the Teton's come and get it.Powder on north facing.

BE AWARE. If you or anyone you know is coming here for spring peaks riding, we had our first grizzly mauling of the season. A man in Tetonia,ID.(near Grand Targhee) was attacked in his backyard. He went out to shut his dog up and the dog was being chased by the bear. The bear turned and attacked the man. He had grooves in his skull from the bears teeth. So don't forget bear spray.
