Reasons to Explore Winter Trails
The photo above was snapped on Friday, January 20 from the North end of Grand Teton park road. According to the folks who shared the trip report, “it was a wonderful ski from Signal to Spaulding Bay and back; very few people, and most of them were folks we knew.”
This brings to mind some reasons to explore winter trails: fresh air, beautiful scenery, opportunity to move your body, spend time with friends and maybe make some new ones along the way, or enjoy the solitude.

Profiles in Nordic: Ali Cohane
Ali is the owner of Persephone & Picnic and is a Gold Sponsor of the Nordic Alliance. In her own words she shares her insights and experience with Nordic sports.
“Head to the mountains and pack a lunch, maybe from Persephone. There is no better way to fall in love with the sport. You get a little exercise, usually an unbeatable view, and a beautiful quiet moment in the snow where you can sit and appreciate this incredible place we live.” -Ali Cohane

Podium Finish!
JHSC skier Lena Poduska claimed a third place finish in yesterday’s Super Qualifier in Utah at Soldier Hollow, way to go Lena!. Lots of our other skiers also did really well at this enormous regional event. Full results can be viewed for all the weekend’s racing when available at Summit Racing.
Many thanks also to Coach Luna for submitting the great images, top row from left to right: Abby Murphy, Nate Streubel, and Ryan Thompson.
If you’re not spectating in Utah or racing at the Spud Chase, today would be a great day to ski at Trail Creek. Last night was once again a bit chilly getting down to around zero. The fascinating part of the weather is that we’ve received a solid half inch of frost snow which has effectively put a fresh coat on our ski trails. The Husky made an early morning start today, covering pretty much every trail with at least a single pass. Classic tracks were reset where merited and Moose Loop, Animal Farm, and the fields mostly received a total rework with multiple passes and fresh classic tracks. The cool stable conditions allow for continued nice skiing.
Look for an inch or two of fresh snow in the next 24 hours.
Groomer’s choice for today is Moose Loop.

The temperatures may be cold, but the views are hot! Expect mostly sunny skies this weekend with below average temps. The cold temperatures make the snow more abrasive and not as pliable for grooming, which can leave a crumble like texture in areas. Overall, the trails are in great shape and should be very enjoyable through Monday. Be sure to monitor the temps for choosing the right ski wax, as it will be a slower ski if you’re not matched up correctly. Enjoy the sunshine! Next update will be Monday 1/23.
