Grand Teton National Park Climbing & Backcountry Information: HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Winter finally made an appearance in Jackson Hole this morning! We awoke to heavy snowfall and a few inches of light density snow on the ground. Snow remains in the forecast on and off for the next few days. As winter ramps up remember to consult the avalanche forecast before venturing out into the mountains. Please help our local wildlife survive the harsh winter by respecting winter closures that protect critical habitat.
