Hey guys! We probably aren’t going to get snow up to our chest like Tyler and I experienced at Targhee in 2023, but I mean a girl can dream right? Well anyway I got a message from Bart to relay for everyone on the gram:

NOAA has moved up the timing of the Winter Storm Warning to 4 PM today through Monday morning at 4 AM. They indicate that there is “high confidence” that there will be snowfall rates of 1”-3” per hour potentially leading to widespread 1-2 feet of snowfall. This will combine with 30-50 mph winds and blizzard conditions.
As a Winter sporting goods store it is always conflicting to be closed due to inclement weather. At the same time of greater concern is the safety of our
staff traveling to and from work.

If you have equipment in our Service Center that needs to be picked up on Sunday please check the status of your work order with our Service Crew
who will make every effort so that it can be picked up today by 5:30.

We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may present.
