QUOTES:

"The remnants of a Pacific typhoon blasted Jackson Hole on Wednesday,
dumping more than a foot of snow, closing Teton Pass and leaving residents
digging out.

Idaho commuters were stranded in Jackson after a snowboarder-triggered
avalanche in Twin Slides closed Teton Pass for the day. No injuries were
reported from the slide, highway officials said.

The avalanche, which carried trees and other debris onto Highway 22, came
at about 2 p.m. as vehicles were traveling on the roadway.

The storm packed gusts of more than 50 mph on the ridgetops and left roads
slick with poor visibility. WYDOT released a travel advisory warning people
only to travel when necessary.

Teton County Sheriff's Capt. Jim Whalen said seven vehicle collisions were
reported as of Wednesday afternoon. "It was nasty out there," Whalen said.

Jackson Hole Airport was forced to cancel all but one of its outgoing
flights and did not have any incoming flights Wednesday. SkyWest cancelled
all of its incoming flights because of the forecast, said Jeanne
Kirkpatrick, assistant airport manager."
