What would the weather be like around Oct. 27-31? I'm thinking about doing a trip around that time, if the Titons would be too cold, where in the NW would you suggest?
Thanks!

Fyi it's spelled Teton. Even though I'm sure the sight of the peaks has made other guys think of the spelling you wrote :lol:

Yeah, maybe Yanks back in the '50s torpedo bra days. But now? C'mon. And those Frenchies spell it that way anyhow.

I can't give you much advice on October weather in the Tetons, but most people tend to climb there in July and August.
I climbed the Grand last Monday and the weather was great (i.e. quite warm down in the Valley and approach, cool and windy up on the peak). A fellow behind us had climbed the peak 12 times before and commented that it was the warmest he had ever experienced, so perhaps the season may extend a bit further this year and you might get lucky with some good weather.
I'm sure it's do-able in late October anyway, it's just a matter of how much snow do you feel like dealing with, right?
You could call the rangers at the Jenny Lake Ranger Station to get a much better idea of typical weather for October.
