Beartooth Pass<\/a>, which spans the Wyoming-Montana border about 30 miles east of Yellowstone National Park, is set to close Friday, October 9, at 2:30 p.m.<\/strong> The pass, home to North America\u2019s sole summer-only ski area, was initially scheduled to close four days later, on October 13. However, due to an encroaching winter weather system, officials have decided<\/a> to close the highway ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n

The early-season storm, driven by cold air from western Canada pouring over the Northern Rockies, is slated to drop around a foot of snow on the nearly 11,000-foot pass by Monday afternoon.<\/strong> The forecasted accumulation was deemed enough to close the highway for the winter, as the road is not routinely plowed.<\/p>\n
