Trail Creek Nordic

Last Updated: 3/15
Grooming Daily

Supplement

18-24 inches on of very heavy snow fell at Trail Creek overnight making for some challenging grooming conditions. Currently the fields, Woolsey Woods, and Moose Loop received multiple roller passes and will classic ski fine and even skate pretty well as the heavy snow set quite firmly. A single roller pass was done on Armin’s and out to the end of the Old Pass Road and back and Ginzu classic tracks were put in around the fields.

For such heavy snow skiing is not too bad, enjoy! Don’t forget the cabin is locked for the time being, if you need access to anything inside contact the groomer or one of the other staff members.

Last Day of Grooming

Shooting Star Nordic 

Last Updated: 3/15
Grooming Daily

Grooming will likely be ongoing through 1030am this morning due to extra time needed to work in the recent heavy snowfall. Skiers are welcome to start at 9am but they may encounter some ungroomed or rough areas until we are finished. Thanks.

Teton Village Pathway Trail

Update: 2/22

Jackson Hole Golf and Tennis Club

Grooming Today
Update: 3/9

From our Nordic track maintenance team:

With rising temperatures and winter coming to an end, adjustments will be made to the route of the groomed trail. Beginning this past weekend, the trail will only be groomed on the north side of Spring Gulch Road.

This accomplishes two important things. For one, it allows us to extend the grooming period of the season because as the roadways clear it becomes increasing difficult and unsafe for the staff to cross the roads with grooming equipment. In addition, suspending grooming operations south of Spring Gulch Road helps us minimize disturbances to the local moose population. In general, please be extra mindful not to disturb wildlife during this important period for their winter survival.

Grand Targhee Nordic & Fat Biking

Last Updated: 3/15

Grand Targhee will be closed for the rest of the 2019/20 winter season, with no further grooming for the Nordic and fat bike trails. However, skiers and cyclist may use the trails. No uphill travel on the alpine ski slopes.
