Western Wyoming Avalanche Advisory Issued On Fri December 13, 2019 6:55 PM
Alpine and Nordic Skiiers Alike, Please Use Caution
The general avalanche hazard at the mid and upper elevations is expected to be Considerable on Sunday. Persistent slabs will remain the primary threat. Skiers and riders could easily trigger these large to very large slabs in steep terrain that held snow prior to Thanksgiving. While the likelihood of triggering these slabs is decreasing, the consequences remain the same. These slabs are likely to be three to five feet deep in the Tetons and Southwest Trails area, and two to four feet deep in the Togwotee Pass forecast zone. Be alert even when skiing or riding below a slope.

Trail Creek Nordic
Last Updated: 12/14
Busting Through Mugs!
One more ungroomed section of our trails bit the “Pisten Bully dust” today as there was plenty of snow for our trusty groomer to turn tons of fluffy white into glorious corduroy. While glorious corduroy might be a bit of a stretch for a day or two, what would have been a knee deep slog 12 hours ago is now very skiable. Give it a few days and it will be glorious corduroy.
On the topic of glorious Nordic corduroy, you will find plenty of that today at Trail Creek along with more classic tracks than any time this season. The close field, all trails on the private property, and Animal Farm received double PB passes with classic track while the rest of the National Forest trails got a skate pass.
Lots of skiers were out so far today but that is a good thing. As of 12:15 PM the temperature was -5ºC/23ºF with cloudy skies and calm winds. There have been a few snow squalls this morning but they have not amounted to a popsicles worth of accumulation on the trails.

Shooting Star Nordic
Last Updated: 12/14
All trails are open and skiing should be great through Wednesday. Early season conditions and occasional soft spots will continue to persist until more snow accumulates. Classic tracks will likely be set by this Wednesday or Thursday, as we’ll be continuing to compact and harvest snow onto the trails in the meantime. Also, the sled hill and snowshoeing areas are now open, which will both be on the soft side due to recent snows. Enjoy!
Classic Tracks Set: NO
Snowshoeing : Open
Sled Hill: Open
