Pro Tip: If you have a quiver of skis, travel with them all!
This pro-tip tidbit is shared by Celeste Young, Co-Owner & Instructor at Teton Nordic Ski School, GTSSF Nordic Development Coach. She recommends that if you have more than one pair of skis, such as fish-scale skis best used off piste, classic skis for track skiing, and/or skate skis, bring them all along when traveling to ski in Jackson Hole and Teton Valley. If you get to your chosen trail and discover the skate skiing conditions weren’t as expected, it is easy to switch to classic skiing and vice versa.
Sticky Snowball Days Call for Groomed Trails
Most days I crave a wild ski, choosing my own path off piste and into the woods to explore, but when the weather is prime for making snowballs I seek out well groomed corduroy. This weekend I’ll plan on putting ALL of my skis in my car and heading to Teton Pines to enjoy their 16km of perfectly groomed track for skate and classic skiing. Open from 9-4 daily, they have great deals on demo gear and lots of new gear in the shop, plus lessons are available as well.
And they now allow dogs on Jack’s Loop (NO other trails!!) Please check in at the shop for all the rules and regulations. Walking, biking or snowshoeing is not allowed on any of our trails to keep their grooming in pristine condition for skiers.
