Around Wyoming, Tuesday, March 12

This is Around Wyoming. Here are some stories from around the state.

The Tetons had a snowstorm the first week of March that made history for more than snowfall records. The Jackson Hole News and Guide reports a record 30 inches of snow fell from Friday evening to Saturday morning. The 17 inches measured Saturday marked the biggest single-day total for March in Jackson. Overall, more than four feet of snow fell. Grand Targhee Resort closed for only the second time ever but after some cleanup, it reopened and hosted its second-busiest day ever.

Some Jackson breweries have partnered to support women in the alcoholic beverage industry. Buckrail reports Roadhouse, Melvin, StillWest, and Snake River Brewing each made their own women-inspired brews for March, which kicks off with International Women’s Day. The beers are available until they run out, and each brewery will donate a dollar from each pint sold to the Pink Boots Society. It’s an international organization that works to further the careers of women in the alcoholic beverage industry.

And, a Western Wyoming Community College wrestler brought home the national championship title. The Rock Springs Rocket Miner reports Cody Phelps won the 133-pound division.

Ivy started as a science news intern in the summer of 2019 and has been hooked on broadcast ever since. Her internship was supported by the Wyoming EPSCoR Summer Science Journalism Internship program. In the spring of 2020, she virtually graduated from the University of Wyoming with a B.S. in biology with minors in journalism and business. When she’s not writing for WPR, she enjoys baking, reading, playing with her dog, and caring for her many plants.
