A Gallery of Photos From the Betty Woolsey Race
It was a fantastic day where Nordic racers displayed their speed, power, agility, and love of the sport. Thanks to JH Nordic and the groomer at Trail Creek for sharing these fabulous action photos.

Jackson Hole may be synonymous with phenomenal downhill skiing, but cross-country skiing in the Tetons is not only growing in popularity, it’s a downright game changer. Gliding through a famous national park with soaring jaggedy peaks as a background and various two- and four-legged wildlife sharing the space with you? Yes, please!
Snowshoeing and riding a fat bike in Grand Teton National Park and/or within the Bridger-Teton National Forest are two other ways to add dimension to your winter wonderland getaway with more than 200 trails calling your name.

A Fantastic Day!
A huge crowd of skiers and spectators gathered at Trail Creek yesterday for the Betty Woolsey Memorial Race. Fantastic speeds, fantastic Nordic camaraderie, and simply a fantastic good time were had by all that made the journey to Trail Creek for this annual tradition.
Times of the more serious racers can be found on the event website and if you aren’t familiar with the legacy of Betty Woolsey, more information can be found on this JHSC Hall of Fame page.
Many thanks to the racers, spectators, and especially the JHSC staff that made the great day a reality!
Today’s Christmas Eve grooming was a Ginzu best line skate pass of most every trail that has been groomed so far this year with multiple passes on Armin’s and the Close Field. The bit of fresh snow we’ve received along with some very “Nordic Friendly” temps will make for a great early season ski today if you’re lucky enough to be able to work Trail Creek into your schedule. Look for a reduced grooming schedule in the days ahead until we finally get into some hopefully serious winter snow.
Groomer’s choice for today is a long Christmas Eve tour of Trail Creek.

Last Update: 12/11
Staff went up Game Creek on Saturday. Weekend storm was a bust. Snowmobile and pull behind took a real beating so we pulled out before getting into the sunny areas. We need 3-4” of wet snow or more fluffy snow to keep grooming.

Cache Creek Singletrack
Groomed by Friends of Pathways
Grooming As Needed
Last Update: 12/10
We groomed the Cache Creek road to Noker Mine and upper Hagen from bridge 5 to 2. The lower trails are still a little thin on snow, especially under the trees, but are still compact enough to use for now. We will keep snowshoeing around and packing things in until there is enough snow to take the roller through.
Please help support trail grooming for the Cache Creek Single track trails by donating to the Friends of Pathways. Visit: friendsofpathways.org/donate/ and leave the comment “Grooming” in the campaign section.
Teton Pines Nordic
Grooming As Needed
Last Update: 12/24
We are open Christmas Day. We will have a fresh ginzu groomed skate track and a fast classic track. Conditions are still good and are unbelievably amazing if you consider we’ve had less than 12″ of total snow this season! The photo was taken approximately 3PM Sunday, December 24.
Shooting Star
Grooming As Needed
Last Update: 12/22
Trails continue to be on the thin side as warm and dry weather persists. Reminder walking is not allowed as it diminishes the life span of the track. The importance of this is currently extremely high with the thin and melting snowpack. Ski with extra caution as more exposed/bare/brushy areas are emerging. Outlook is calling for light snow on Saturday, followed by more dry weather next week. We’ll continue to monitor the course daily and do our best to keep the trails open. See the attached map for which trails are open, and below are the ongoing trail notes. Next update will be Tuesday (12/26).
- Trail conditions are early season. Please ski with caution as the snow profile is extremely thin.
- Walking is not allowed and will be extremely detrimental to the track with the very low snowpack.
- No classic tracks will be set, and sporadic bare/brushy/exposed areas may be present.
- Grooming frequencies will be as needed to preserve the track.
- Sled Hill is Closed. Needs ample snow (2FT).
- Temporary closures of the Nordic Course may be needed until additional snow accumulates if severe melt occurs.
- Small game/scavenger animals may be present throughout the whole course. Use extra caution when skiing with dogs.
Again, we’ll do our best to keep the trails skiable and open during this warmer weather. Enjoy the sunny conditions!
Turpin Meadow Ranch
Grooming As Needed
Last Update: 12/24
There is classic track on the summer homes and part of the riverside trails. The hills got a best line pass with the ginzu. Overall the trails in the hills are more challenging to ski due to early season conditions (uneven, vegetation, lack of snow). The flats have been providing decent skiing and amazing views.
TMR is open to all for skiing, lunch, Nordic lessons, and tours! Call the office (307) 543-2000 or visit our website to book your adventure and/or meal! Check out our live webcam for current conditions.
Summer Homes Loop, Riverside Loop, and Willows Loop groomed 12/19.
