Racing Day 2; Freestyle!

Except for the start lanes, there’s not a classic track in sight today as the course is set for not only the conclusion of the Bank of Jackson Hole Johnny Curtis Memorial Race, but also the final day of the final qualifier for the 2021-2022 season of the Intermountain Division Nordic.  After today’s racing the skiers will know whether or not they made it to Junior Nationals in Minneapolis in a few weeks.

Our own skiers had some fantastic finishes yesterday; check out all the results at Summit Timing.  Spectators are welcome, racing begins at 9 AM, catch the shuttle from Stilson.

Groomer’s choice for today, Go Racers!

Our trails continue to be in incredible shape with this awesome weather we’ve recently had! The cold temps and clear skies are great for the track. We groom 13km+ daily for both skate and classic with our new snowcat. 

Our trails and shop are fully open to the public 9am-4pm daily. Day passes, 10 punch cards, and season passes are available at the shop. 

Please call us in advance to book lessons at: (307) 733-1733. You do not need a reservation for skiing and we do not take reservations for rentals. Please contact us in advance to check availability for off-site rentals.

We still have a great selection of skate skis, a few classic track and BC skis, boots, jackets, pants, gloves, and hats. We also have a good selection of used skate gear available.

Shooting Star

Grooming Daily
Last Update: 2/9

Sunny and dry weather is again forecasted through this weekend continuing to provide very enjoyable Nordic Conditions. Be aware that some icy areas are forming, and the snowpack is now hard packed from the lack of fresh snow. It’s now been about 30+ days since we’ve received any meaningful snow accumulations and this dry weather pattern looks to continue for the foreseeable future. The track would greatly benefit from another 1-2ft of fresh snow to get us through the late part of the season. Until more snow returns, we’ll try our best to work/groom the snow as best we can with the limitations of the current snowpack.  Overall, skiing should remain great! Get outside and make the most out of these rare sunny winter days! Next Update Monday (2/14).

Turpin Meadow Ranch

Grooming Daily
Last Update: 2/12

The ginzu was out again Saturday afternoon cleaning up the skate lane. The classic track is down to one set in spots in the meadow as we had a lot of wind Friday, but once you get past the wind blown areas it is still in good shape. If you’re wanting out of the wind all together check out the hills, but be cautious as there are some thin to bare spots in the trail; we all know it… we need snow! The days have been warm and the trails fast!

Please sign acknowledgment of risk forms and pay for trail passes online ahead of your visit. Call the front office (307) 543-2000 ahead of your visit for booking equipment rentals and Nordic adventures (lessons and tours).
