With less than two weeks to go, the 2025 Stop Sign Snow Challenge is as close as it can get.

The stop sign near Wind River Lake on Togwotee Pass is almost buried to the bottom of the red hexagon as of Wednesday. A lot of snow will be needed to bury it completely, but there could be enough snow on the horizon before the contest ends at midnight April 1. 

“They’re calling for snow on Thursday through the weekend,” said Ron Hansen, owner of The Wind River Outdoor Co. in Lander, who came up with the contest. “My guess is that if it’s going to happen, it’ll happen within the next week.”

Even those who don’t enter find themselves checking the Wyoming Department of Transportation webcam through the winter to see how far up the sign the snow has piled.
