If you're a skier, then you've probably been anxiously watching the weather this season. Snowfall so far has been lacking, leaving many resorts only partially open. Based on OpenSnow's recent reporting, however, it is looking like things are about to change! With plenty of snow on the horizon, skiing in Jackson Hole is about to get a whole lot better.
Monday, a storm system delivered about 5 inches of new snow. After a brief pause, the precipitation picked up again. This morning, Jackson Hole's slopes were solidly boosted with 5 to 7 inches of fresh snow, bringing the total for the past 5 days to 14 inches!
Adding to the excitement is a new storm that is currently on its way. It is expected to hit later today, strengthening overnight and lasting through Friday. Current predictions suggest that this new system will bring 10 to 20 inches of low density powder to the area. This is tremendously exciting after the weak snowfall at the start of the season!
This storm cycle is ideal for Jackson Hole's ski resorts, which have been unable to get ski season properly rolling due to a lack of snow. This new snow will help resorts improve their water supply and get more terrain open. Most (if not all) terrain should be open by New Years, so if you have a ski trip coming up, then you are safe to start getting excited!
