Trail Creek

Unstoppable Snow!
For those unable to puzzle out this photo, this is post-grooming! A few bold skate skiers dared the frozen waters of Trail Creek today, but within a few hours of grooming, 4+ inches of snow had already covered the trails, with more on the way. In fact, in the time between when the Stadium began to be groomed to the end, over an inch had already fallen on the first pass! Suffice to say, today’s conditions could best be described as ‘rustic’! Fortunately, the air is warm and the cabin warmer still, so if you get soaking wet out in the snow, be sure to stop by and dry out by the fire before hopping in the car and fogging up your windows!
Today’s grooming was a best-line pass of the course. The groomer took advantage of the new snow to wipe out the classic track on the skate segment(not that it was still visible, anyway!) and both the classic and skate courses received a single pass – mostly to mark the trail, since otherwise it would be completely invisible come tomorrow! Classic skiing is advised, and even then, it’ll be closer to breaking trail than anything, but if you want a nice workout, today is the day for you!
Groomer’s choice is Outward Bound and Boiler, as the last wooded trails to be groomed, they will probably be best!

Shooting Star
Grooming Daily
Last Update: 2/20
Anticipate very windy, snowy, and drifty conditions today through Wednesday as this current severe winter storm passes through. Advice would be to avoid trail usage during whiteout conditions and if you decide to brave the elements use a touring/backcountry Nordic set-up. Grooming will continue to occur daily throughout this weather event but will likely be ongoing past 10am as these conditions make for a slow groom. Again, please avoid trail usage when whiteout conditions exist and use extreme caution if venturing out on the trails during severe winter weather. Conditions look to be more favorable for Nordic Skiing on Thursday. Thanks, and stay safe!
Please help support trail grooming in GTNP by donating to the Grand Teton National Park Foundation. It’s easy and encouraged. All you need to do is visit: GTNPF.org/donate/ and leave the comment “Nordic” in the designation section. There is the opportunity to leave a one time gift or reoccurring monthly donations in any amount.

Turpin Meadow Ranch
Grooming Daily
Last Update: 2/20
It’s storm skiing today. The flats and the mule loop had multiple passes and classic track set in most places however the snow is filling in quickly. The lower pasture did not receive any attention today so it will be a great spot for your BCXC skis. Fat biking is not recommended today, the single track is open for snowshoeing but closed to bikes today.
Turpin Meadow Ranch is open to all for skiing, lodging, dining, Nordic lessons, and tours! Closing day (March 12, 2022) is not too far away so make your plans to come to Turpin soon! Call the office (307) 543-2000 or visit our website to book your adventure and/or meal!

Made a few passes with the roller just to claim the track from the new snow. Did not set the classic track with the forecast. Skating should be ok but a little wavy with the new snow sticking to the roller.
