Snow coverage in the range and on the valley floor remains decent and spring corn snow is trying to form between snow events.  But as is typical in the Tetons in spring sustained clear and cold for very many days in a row can be illusive, as evidenced by an incoming storm tonight. Backcountry travelers should be prepared for the full gamut of winter and/or spring like conditions and expect abundant snow.  Please continue to check the latest avalanche forecast and snowpack information before your ventures.

Bighorn sheep closures remain in effect through April 30th. Help us protect this iconic species by knowing the location of and abiding by the closures.  Click here for the latest closure map. 

Backcountry permits are required year-round for any overnight travel inside Grand Teton National Park and are available and issued by phone during this time. See November 1, 2023 post for details.

All Park Visitor Centers and Campgrounds are closed for the winter season.  Camping is strictly prohibited in parking areas and pullouts.
