Questions or concerns regarding County snow removal should be directed to the Teton County Road and Bridge Department.
In a snow event a check for snow will be conducted at 2:00 AM to allow time to have a majority of the roads open by 7:00 AM. At 2:00 AM if there are three (3) or more inches of snow and the conditions allow, we plow. When blizzard conditions exist, plowing will begin when it subsides (not 2:AM). When plowing is required, the entire route is done in the most efficient order. Operator duty shifts are generally limited to a max of 12 hours per day for safety.
Operations will be halted when: (a) service levels are reached, (b) coverage time has elapsed, (c) conditions are too hazardous, or (d) reasonable accomplishments cannot be made. During a major storm plows may only open one lane and will return to widen roads as conditions permit. After a major storm, cleanup operations will be on-going for multiple days.
