Yahoo! Togwotee Info. It is a long drive for me and based on my past experience, I need the snotel site to show 18 inches in order to avoid ski damage. Keep your finger's crossed.

Up to 11" and down to 21 degrees at Tony Grove. I'm going to drive up the canyon after lunch. I agree with @Tom M on the rocks but if the road up to Tony Grove has held the snow, and the temperature tells me it probably did, at least up near the top, should be some nice, (very) early season skiing.
I haven't waxed anything yet! With the mountains outside my window heavily dusted near the bottom with accumulation on the tops, doing focused engineering work is becoming increasingly difficult...

Get your snorkels ready. I’m waiting on the snow to hit in southern Wyoming.

About a foot of heavy powder at 8,000 feet. Temperature around 23 degrees F. Not deep enough to get off the trail but really nice under those trees at the far end of the lake. Voile Objective with Xplore and Alfa Free. Pretty much picked up where I left off last year.
This was pretty much tracked out by the time I left and I was the only one there.
