Each backcountry gate will include warnings of the area's hazards, a daily Bridger Teton Avalanche Forecast, a map of the terrain, and an avalanche rating system.
Safety is our number one priority.
We encourage all individuals to be responsible. Hall encourages backcountry explorers to attend a local avalanche awareness course before heading out. In case any mishaps do occur, the local search and rescue team says they are prepared. We have all agreed that the situation will need to be constantly reviewed. In the following weeks, Jackson Hole and the national forest will release maps showing the location of new and existing gates and the terrain they access.
