Snowfall will increase in intensity as a strong cold front moves over the area.
Temperature Forecast for 8,000´-9,000´: Dropping towards the single digits as the day progresses.
Ridge Top Wind Forecast for 10,000´: Southwest winds at 20 to 30 with gusts to 45 miles per hour will cause areas of blowing snow and white out conditions in exposed areas.
Snowfall Expected Next 24 Hours: 9"
G E N E R A L - A V A L A N C H E - A D V I S O R Y
Strong southwest winds and new snow will combine to rapidly increase the general avalanche hazard to MODERATE this morning and to CONSIDERABLE in the afternoon. New soft slabs up to 18 inches in depth will form upon excellent sliding surfaces. These slabs are likely to be easily triggered by humans and release spontaneously in response to rapid wind loading as they gain volume and depth. Safe travel in avalanche terrain today requires conservative decisions, careful route finding and good travel habits. Local knowledge and experience are essential. Avalanches are unlikely below an elevation of 7,500 feet.
Let it snow!!!

So did you get as much snow as the forecast was predicting.We are heading west this week and are still up in the air as to where we will end up. Whichever area has the most snow is where we are headed.
Just wanted to put in a quick word of THANKS to you Dennis for doing awsome job on the updates.
Update
Good morning. Sorry for the delay in reporting on the storm totals. I actually was back east for a wedding.
The good news is that Togwotee Pass received 13 1/2" of new snow. Also, we are to receive 2 to 3 inches everyday for this week. We have 3 to 4 feet of snow above 9,000 feet. Compared to last year, we are about 3 to 4 inches behind.
The following is the forecast:
Today: A 50 percent chance of snow. Cloudy and cold, with a high near 7. Wind chill values as low as -13. West southwest wind between 7 and 11 mph. Total daytime snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible.
Tonight: Snow likely, mainly before 11pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around -1. Wind chill values as low as -19. West wind between 8 and 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.
Wednesday: A 40 percent chance of snow. Mostly cloudy and cold, with a high near 10. Wind chill values as low as -19. West southwest wind between 10 and 13 mph. New snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible.
Wednesday Night: A 20 percent chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 3. Wind chill values as low as -16. Southwest wind between 9 and 16 mph.

The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE above 7,500 feet and LOW below an elevation of 7,500 feet. Above 7,500 feet soft surface slabs up to two feet in depth lie upon slick sliding surfaces near ridge crests on lee slopes and may be human triggered. Evaluate the snow and terrain carefully and use good travel habits. Avalanches are unlikely at the lower elevations.

Today's news is snow. Storms are forecasted for tonight, tomorrow, and then Monday. Although snow is forecasted everyday for the next 7 days. The forecast thru Friday is for snow over 1 foot. We hope its more than 2 feet.
The trails are currently rough. The trails are being groomed but we need snow so that more snow bridges can be built. Togwotee Pass has over 3 feet of snow. Looking ahead, January should be a great time to ride. I do have cabins available so give us a call.
The forecast is the following:
Today: A 40 percent chance of snow, mainly after 11am. Mostly cloudy and cold, with a high near 10. Wind chill values as low as -10. Southwest wind between 11 and 15 mph. Total daytime snow accumulation of around an inch possible.
Tonight: Snow likely. Cloudy, with a low around 6. Wind chill values as low as -12. West southwest wind between 15 and 18 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible.
Friday: Snow. High near 11. Wind chill values as low as -26. Breezy, with a west southwest wind between 17 and 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible.

The General Avalanche Hazard is MODERATE. Backcountry travelers could trigger slabs one to three feet in depth in steep, avalanche starting zones where faceted weak layers persist primarily on northerly and easterly aspects. Avalanches are unlikely below 8,000 feet due to shallow snow depths.

To say the trails around Tog are rough is a understatement. I rode there the 11th. through the 16th and they were brutal!!! My back still hurts, on the bright side we found get stuck snow up high in the trees. JMO
Update
Today we thought was the best day of the season for grooming. The trails are all marked and the groomers are all out on trail doing their work. Just in time considering that we are forecasted to receive 1 foot of new powder in the next 24 hours.

Snowfall intensity will increase as the day progresses. Strong winds will create white out conditions in open areas.
Temperature Forecast for 8,000´-9,000´: Rising towards the lower teens.

The general avalanche hazard will increase to CONSIDERABLE above an elevation of 7,500 feet and remain at LOW below that elevation. Strong winds and new snow will rapidly load a snowpack with buried weak layers and excellent sliding surfaces. As the day progresses the potential for slab avalanches up to three feet in depth to be human triggered or release naturally will increase. Safe travel in avalanche terrain today requires conservative decisions, careful route finding and good travel habits. Avalanches are unlikely below an elevation of 7,500 feet.

The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE. Recent snowfall has formed soft, shallow slabs. Backcountry travelers could trigger these slides, along with loose snow sluffs on steep, wind-loaded slopes. Older slabs, up to 30 inches in depth, could also be triggered on similar slopes. Evaluate the snow and terrain carefully and use good travel habits.

The general avalanche hazard is MODERATE. Recent snowfall lies upon a weak snowpack. Dense slabs, one to three feet in depth could be easily triggered today in steep, wind loaded avalanche terrain above 8000' by skiers or riders.

Winter has definitely arrived in Jackson Hole and Togwotee Pass. We have received a foot of snow in the last 36 hours and we are expecting more than a foot in the next 24 hours. This will put us back to the same snow depths and snowfall as last year. Togwotee Pass is already at 4' and should be closer to 5' by the end of this storm. Winds are expected to pickup this evening to blizzard conditions. Please note that the avalanche warning is HIGH. We lost some fellow riders yesterday in an avalanche in Utah.
The riding is unbelievable. So if you were thinking of coming to Jackson Hole, give us a call.
The forecast is as follows:
Christmas Day: Snow and areas of blowing snow. High near 12. Wind chill values as low as -15. Breezy, with a southwest wind between 17 and 23 mph, with gusts as high as 34 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 6 to 10 inches possible.
Tonight: Snow, mainly before 11pm. Low around -2. Wind chill values as low as -20. West northwest wind between 10 and 16 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.
Friday: Snow likely. Mostly cloudy and cold, with a high near 5. Wind chill values as low as -20. Northwest wind between 14 and 17 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of around an inch possible.

The general avalanche hazard is HIGH. New and recent snowfall has formed sensitive surface slabs to three feet in depth that lie upon weak faceted snow. Natural avalanches are likely. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended. An Avalanche Warning has been issued for the area.
Ride Safe and say a pray for the families of the victims in the Logan, UT avalanche.
