Thank you for continually sharing your photos with us of Nordic skiing in Jackson Hole
Part Time Preschool Nordic Instructors Needed
Do you desire to make a difference? Do you like to create smiles? Share your passion of nordic skiing by providing fun, games and learning to our youngest in Jackson WY. Join the Snow King team of instructors in our Pre School Ski School program. We provide snow-play and instruction to youth (ages 3-5) at various preschools in the area. Part-time sessions are 900am-1200pm consisting of 2, one-hour blocks. A one-hour break is built into session for travel and lesson preparation. Sessions are M-F, February 2020 only. Instructors will have off and on snow assistance with preschoolers from the preschool staff.
Beginner/enthusiast level nordic experience preferred. No teaching experience required, program training will be provided. This is the perfect program for those who can’t offer a huge time commitment and enjoy sharing their love of winter sports with children.
Contact george@snowkingmountain.com by January 30th to apply.

Trail Creek Nordic

Fun at Trail Creek!
The image to the left is from a recent Wilson Winter Sports outing here at Trail Creek with these elementary students teaching the rest of us how to have fun on the snow. These happy faces are just a few of the thousands that are seen at various points on our trails throughout the year. Thanks to Maggie Schilling for the contribution.
You should have no problem having some fun today at Trail Creek if you have time for it in your schedule. Noon conditions are a temperature of -1ºC/30ºF with light snow, calm winds, and cloudy skies. Today’s grooming was with the Ginzu entailing skate grooming in the woods and fields with fresh classic tracks set in the fields as well. While the classic tracks are not quite perfect, they are all in all quite skiable and the skate lanes are nice.
If things move as hoped, the Pisten Bully will be back next week.
Groomer’s choice for today is the East Fields.

All of our trails groomed VERY well this morning. Both classic and skate tracks were totally reset. As of now at 4pm on 1/28 we are getting some light snow and expect more snow overnight. We will groom the new snow first thing in the morning (1/29) and all trails will be ready by 9am. Fat bike single track will be groomed as well. Come see us in the Buffalo Valley! Bring your dog!

Fat Bike 1/23: As of Thursday, January 23rd, all fat bike single track in the Kelly Park and Upper Skyline corridor has been groomed. The trails are in good condition, however remember with warmer day-time temperatures reduce tire pressure to around 3-4lbs. We want to remind everyone that all single track is multi-use, so skiers and other users are welcome to utilize the single track system. The only reason it is there, is FOR FUN, so go have fun!

Would have put “excellent” on both skate and classic, but it will be soft for a bit, particularly classic. On another note, it’s the first time your back-up groomer didn’t get stuck! 🍻
Enjoy it out there!
