There may not have been all that much snow that fell in the Jackson Valley yesterday, but yesterday’s storm ended last night, bringing with it up to two feet of snow to the Teton Range, 6 to 8 inches to the Togwotee Pass area and 6 to 12 inches to the Greys River area. In the past eight days the mountains of western Wyoming have received 1 to 4 feet of new snow. During this period there have been lots of natural and skier triggered avalanches and several close calls. The Calf of the Woods avalanche path in Hoback Canyon released naturally at 5 AM this morning and ran onto the highway. The Wyoming Department of Transportation used gas exploders at 3AM to trigger an avalanche in the Twin Slides avalanche path on Teton Pass that did not run to the road. Many new soft slab avalanches were triggered by the ski patrol at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort during avalanche hazard mitigation efforts this morning. Several reports of natural avalanche activity that occurred during or near the end yesterday’s storm and skier triggered wind avalanches were reported today.
