Teton Pass closed to traffic yesterday around 4pm. Word is it was because Glory slid to the road, but the Bridger-Teton avi site doesn't show any slides up there yesterday. I also heard through the grapevine that maybe a car was hit by the slide, but I haven't seen confirmation of this either. Anyone have any info?

It was closed from 4:15-5:30. After getting the Wydot text that it was closed, I strategically headed for the Coach where i was able to score a barstool. Dude sitting next to me had talked to the Highway Patrol at the closure, who said he had heard there was a 30' slide and was chaining up his cruiser to take a look. After it opened i passed the patroller who was stuck in the big turnout on the south side across from the truck safety ramp.
I didn't see any fresh deposition, but wasn't really looking that hard as i had to pay attention to some fkn idiot who had a goddamn donut for a tire on his back left wheel.
Did seem like the plow was working on something tho, as the road from Coal Ck to the WY/ID line had ~4" on it...Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.
