Trail Creek Nordic
Last Updated: 12/24
2019 Betty Woolsey!
The biggest couple of inches you’ve ever seen fell overnight, turning into a foot plus in many areas of our trail network. Conditions as of 10:45 AM were a few snow showers were still occurring with calm winds and a temperature of -1ºC/30ºF.
Click on the image to get a high resolution image of Saturday’s Betty Woolsey 10K Classic Race course. The big snowfall made grooming the course the easy decision for today. Regulars will note that the close field routing as been altered substantially with the goal of sticking to the theme of a nice gentle classic cruise through woods and meadows. While speeders will be more than able to show off their speed, if you just want to have fun, this race is for you as well.
Conditions for Saturday’s 10 AM start look to be perfect for a classic race with clear skies and a 10ºF temperature.
Today’s grooming was multiple passes with the Pisten Bully around the course with double classic tracks in the fields and on Armin’s. You will find some areas with a berm separating the classic and skate lanes and some of the tracks have received around three inches since grooming began. However, it is one of those really great days to be enjoying a ski, just like the IMD skiers were doing with their early morning practice today.
Groomer’s choice for today is to ski the Betty Woolsey.
Turpin Meadow Ranch
Last Updated: 12/22
Take advantage of your visit to the ranch to teach your kids Nordic skiing. It’s a great family activity, it’s easy to learn and our 15 km of groomed trails provide the perfect conditions for the little ones to try something new.

Last Updated: 12/24
9am: The school fields are groomed and in good shape, maybe a bit soft until the snow sets up. There will be no grooming tomorrow due to the holiday so grooming will resume on Thursday following our regular schedule.
8am: The levee and Stilson are groomed but filling in quickly especially the Levee since it was the first track groomed this morning. All tracks will be soft until they set up since we have around 6” of new snow overnight on the West Bank.

Grand Targhee Nordic & Fat Biking
Last Updated: 12/24
As you may know, Targhee is notorious for its quiet Christmas Eve and Christmas Day ski slopes. A tradition for many – skiing alongside family and friends is the perfect way to spend the holiday. If that is not yet a tradition of yours, it’s never too late to begin a new one!
Now the real question – were you naughty or nice this year? Ullr and Santa are conspiring, and the accumulation of this next storm will determine where you stand on their list. Let’s hope you were nice!
Cross Country/Fat Bike 15k: XC OPEN (Last groomed 12/23/2019), Fat Bike OPEN.

Nordic 12/19: Groomed this morning: Old Road Trail, Upper & Lower Surveyors, Moose Ridge and Tree Loop. Rest of the trails should be in pretty good shape. Everyone do a Snow Dance, we need more snow! 0F degrees at the Nordic Equipment Building, -5F in Surveyor Park this morning.
