JACKSON, Wyo. — According to the Snow King Mountain Ski Patrol, the uphill route is currently closed.

Following the recent wind events and snow accumulation, the Snow King Ski Patrol is performing avalanche mitigation work in the ski area’s upper mountain and does not want anyone below them.

Just the Cougar lift is currently open and patrol hopes to have the uphill route open later today when the terrain is deemed safe.
