Thunder and lightening - JH and Targhee

[berkshireskier]

Apparently, both JH and Targhee closed their lifts yesterday, for a while, because of thunder and lightening in the area. How often does that happen in February in the Tetons? Crazy warm Winter out west. It will be interesting to see if they will break weather records for high temps over the Winter months.

in all fairness, thunder and lighting are a common occurrence during intense winter snow storms...
