Teton Village Pathway Trail Now Groomed
Trail is nicely groomed from Lake Creek to the north end of the pathway near the GTNP South entrance. Perfect for a nordic ski, fat bike, walk or run.
Monday, the pathway from Stilson north to Lake Creek was snow- covered, thus ok to ski or bike from Stilson all the way to Teton Village! We hope this section can remain snow covered/ packed. Send in yr reports, since this pathway we do not always receive an update on this section.
About the Trail
Teton Village Association sponsored, multi-use groomed winter trail from the heart of Teton Village north to the end of the bike path (just south of the Grand Teton National Park south entrance) and south to the Lake Creek bridge along Hwy 390 (the Moose-Wilson road). The trail is open to nordic skiers, fat bikers, runners, walkers, dogs on leash. Click here for the Trail Map!
TVTAP Annual Nordic Dinner Was a Big Success
The Annual Teton Valley Trails & Pathways (TVTAP) Nordic Dinner in Victor last Saturday night was a huge success -sold out to capacity, fantastic energy around winter trails and Nordic grooming , skiing, fat biking in Teton Valley. TVTAP Executive Director , Dan Verbeten, and Skinny Skis co-owner, Phil Leeds, were caught here amidst the festivities. The annual dinner helps to raise funds for TVTAP’s grooming program, which includes favorite trails such as Teton Canyon, Alta, Driggs, Teton Springs, Southern Valley Trails (Nemo, PoleLine, Yeti trails ) (see grooming updates below.)
Grand Teton National Park Special Grooming Circumstances

East Fields!
After visiting with The Ranch today about the snow being in the knee deep range, permission was granted to incorporate the East Fields into our grooming again for the 2019-2020 season, the result being that every major trail in our 15+ K network has now been groomed. It will be a little soft and brushy for a while, but within minutes of completion one of the early morning skiers was checking it out with a smile on her face.
The close field also received extensive grooming today, making what might seem like a bit of a maze, but every trail with a definite purpose. New today include the Nordic X course off towards The Ranch along with some inner loops that will be utilized in the January IMD Qualifier that we are hosting. While it could be a bit confusing to newbie’s, the fact that the cabin is always in sight should result in very few people getting lost.
Great news from the Super Tour in Sun Valley, Coach Ali reports, “Quick note on the Sun Valley results scene. When looking at the results some stand out finishes are hard to see. I will call them out here.
Saturday – Dec 14 – Classic Sprint
Kate Brigham – was the 3rd U16 female – she raced her heats against U18/U20s. Nice work Kate!
Sunday – Dec. 15 – 15km Skate
Elijah Weenig – was the first IMD boy – finishing 11th among all U18/U20s. Nice work Elijah!”
Coach Ben also sent a bunch of great clickable photos below with the titles explaining who is in the image. You can check out all the results at Sun Valley Super Tour.
The woods were not groomed today due to everything else going on but should be in great shape with the stable dry weather of late. Noon conditions are mostly cloudy, calm, and with a temperature of -10ºC/14ºF.

Shooting Star Nordic
Last Updated: 12/14
All trails are open and skiing should be great through Wednesday. Early season conditions and occasional soft spots will continue to persist until more snow accumulates. Classic tracks will likely be set by this Wednesday or Thursday, as we’ll be continuing to compact and harvest snow onto the trails in the meantime. Also, the sled hill and snowshoeing areas are now open, which will both be on the soft side due to recent snows. Enjoy!
Classic Tracks Set: NO
Snowshoeing : Open
Sled Hill: Open
Next Update: Thursday
Grand Targhee Nordic & Fat Biking
Last Updated: 12/16
You’re up, champ! It’s a Monday and that means the slopes will be empty and the lift lines non-existent. It will feel like your own private Idaho… errrr Wyoming. A dusting of 1″ on top of the large amounts we’ve
received through the last week, coupled with sustained cold temperatures, has preserved the quality of the snow just for you,
for this moment. Don’t squander it! The mountain is waiting. And work can wait.
