Since there are so many JH fans on AZ I thought I would share a link to get real time snow conditions. I usually don't look until starting this time of year. The JHMR has a bunch of cams but this one is more telling, at least to me. Looks like the snow they got a few days ago is melting fast. You probably have to hit your refresh button to get current time.

Thanks for posting the link...as a Jackson Hole fan-boy..I check out this link alot..

Still some snow in Togwatee pass..where I want to go snowcat skiing..

Tog Pass always gets more snow than JHMR cause it's west facing, like GT. For the JHMR Teton Pass works great cause it's just a few miles down the same ridge. The short view makes reading the snow depth easier.

The town square view is cool but it doesn't relate well to the JHMR. It sure is pretty tho especially with all the xmas lights. Here is a pic I shot 20 years ago of the Jackson town square with holiday lights. I think they keep them on all winter now.

I guess I haven't scanned the pic I was thinking about. Here's another shot

I use the link to the Town Square mainly to see other cams..I always walk through the town square on my arrival day to Jackson Hole..to pick up a few real estate mags/local newspapers for bathroom reading..then hit the mini-market and the liquor store.

Comparing snowfall to JHMR with Togwatee pass is not apples to apples. The base of Grand Targhee is 8,000 feet and Tagwotee pass is 9600..while Teton Village is just over 6,000 feet...but yeah Exposure is huge..has anybody skied Togwatee pass? I've never been there.
