Snowpack
Like the Grand Tetons, the snow pack is generally stable. It is part of the intermountain snowpack.
Mountains
CACHE PEAK (1) Elevation: 10,280 ft
Cache Peak is a remote peak that can be seen from the town of Jackson. In the winter you can get pretty close on snowmobile and in the late season a bike comes in handy.JACKSON PEAK (1) Elevation: 10,741 ft
Jackson Peak is a Jackson Hole classic. Most aspects offer exciting skiing, with the north face being the most coveted.However this mountain is usually only accessed in the late spring when access roads are open.
