Teewinot and the Grand Teton - 6.8.17
SNOWY CONDITIONS PERSIST IN HIGH COUNTRY - JUNE 12, 2017
While the snow continues to melt noticeably below 9,500 feet, opening up larger sections of dry trail, conditions remain remarkably winter-like above that elevation. Ice axes and (possibly) crampons are required for approaching and descending most alpine climbs as well as for traversing mountain passes. To make matters worse, a recent storm deposited up to a foot of fresh snow above 9,500 feet. Backcountry travelers headed into the higher elevations should be prepared to deal with winter-like conditions. Please be aware of current backcountry closures that remain in effect.
