Winter
climbing conditions prevail in the high peaks of the Teton Range. Climbing and
backcountry travel will involve access through avalanche prone terrain. In
order to have a safe and successful trip, it’s important to have good route
finding and avalanche skills while traveling throughout the range. Be diligent
when selecting a route, trail, or campsite in canyons or on peaks while
remaining flexible to changing your plan or itinerary depending on the conditions.
This information will not change until significant warming occurs in late
Spring.
Please refer
to the Bridger Teton Avalanche Center for recent postings of backcountry
avalanche conditions, but be aware that this information only covers areas up to
10500 feet.
Lake Ice
conditions:
All of the park
lakes, including Jackson Lake, are frozen and will support skiers and
snowshoers in most areas. There are still areas of thinner ice throughout
Jackson Lake, be sure to monitor the changing ice conditions and change your
route depending on the presence of water, slush, or unusual cracking.
