By reading a quick sampling of the grooming updates from around Jackson Hole and Teton Valley you’ll find that all of the groomers have been very pleased with the way the trails have been turning out recently – go out and enjoy some sunshine on the local winter trails!
Today is a perfect day for a fat bike ride!
With sunny dry days in the forecast, the fat bike trails are primed for exploring! Check out some recommendations and break up the daily grind, or join Wheel Wranglers and the Women of the Tetons for a social women’s only, all abilities group ride TODAY at Cache Creek from 9AM-11:30AM. Demos available!
Friendly reminder that bikes yield to other users and please do not ride when the trail is soft or when you are leaving ruts 1″ or deeper. If you are on a shared Nordic trail, ride on the opposite side from the groomed classic track, and never ride in the classic skier track. Be respectful to fellow trail users. Slow down, smile, and wave! (Thanks for velo22 for tips!)

Skiing in the Chilly Temps or Racing in STAmpede Today?
Bundle up and check out the wax tips from Erich Wilbrecht, Toko Tech Team member
Forecast/Conditions: Overnight low near zero F, single digits F by race time. A
slight chance of snow with overcast skies should dominate. Keep warm at this high altitude jaunt at the base of the Wind River Mountains. Do a little ski, make a little steam, get down today in Wyoming!
Glidewax: Apply HP Blue Hot Wax, sprinkle on X-Cold Powder, iron in together,
scrape and brush, then spray on HP Liquid Paraffin Blue, let stand overnight, then
polish with the Polishing Brush Liquid Paraffin. If you do not have LP, apply BP Blue
Hot Wax, scrape and brush, then apply HP Blue Hot Wax, sprinkle on X-Cold Powder,
iron in together, scrape and brush.
Gripwax: Roughen base with 150 grit sandpaper, iron in Nordic Base Wax Green,
cork smooth, let cool. Then apply 2-4 layers of Nordic GripWax Blue, corking between
layers.
Structure: A fine structure covered by one pass with the Blue Structurite tool after
scraping and brushing the final Hot Wax will best suit these conditions.
