Recent storm brings 3-8 inches snow to area mountains
November 17, 2013
We’re heading into mid-November and there still is only a light dusting of snow on the ground in Pinedale. A storm over the weekend brought up to eight inches of snow into the mountains around the Upper Green River Valley, adding to a base of 1-2 foot. Pinedale got around two inches of snow, which has mostly melted off. Further north, Bondurant got 5-9 inches. White Pine Ski Area is still waiting for more snow before they can open for their winter season (call 307-367-6606 or go to www.whitepineski.com for updates).
