The Wind River Mountains are in the far background. This cam is good to show current conditions in Pinedale. It is also interesting to watch over time to see the weather patterns in the Winds and change of the seasons and colors in Pinedale. Sometimes people will pose in the image and hold up a large sign to catch being in the hourly shot so they can show their friends they were in Pinedale.

Doing a Snow Dance
by Dawn Ballou, Pinedale Online!
November 29, 2007
Skiers and snowmachiners are watching the weather for the next big storm that will bring a foot or two of snow to give us base to start the winter snow sport season. This is an unusual year to not have snow by the end of November, one of the signs of nine years of drought to the western states. Typically, White Pine Ski Area is able to open on Thanksgiving weekend in November. Many other ski areas in the state are also waiting for more snow, hoping to open the weekend of December 1st.
The snowmobiling season typically also starts in December. January typically gets very cold, too cold to get much snow. Then we should get a bunch of storms in February and March with great snowmobiling and skiing. Be sure to make your lodging reservations well in advance for your winter sports trips to ensure you have your rooms for everyone in your party. See our Business Directory for motels, guest ranches and Bed & Breakfast contact information and links to their websites.
Scroll down for pictures from area webcams from the morning of Thursday, November 29th.

Tips for driving on snowy roads: Slow down and plan more time to get where you want to go; Be cautious at intersections - they get slick: If you can, increase the driving distance buffer between you and the vehicles around you by several car length distances to give you more reaction room and time; Avoid making sudden fast moves when starting or braking.
