Countdown to The JH Nordic Annual Event!
We haven’t hosted this event in two years and we are so excited to invite you to join this 5th Annual FREE Nordic Community Event at Turpin Meadow Ranch on Sunday, January 8th, 2023! We are just 4 days away from the event so to celebrate let’s countdown with 7 reasons to attend (a new reason will be featured each day this week).
U.S. Cross Country Ski Championships
The US Cross Country Skiing Championships begin yesterday in Michigan with a few Jacksonites participating! Check out the schedule and watch the live stream! All races will be live streamed through Saturday January 7th.

From Here…to Here!
It’s amazing to see the full range of the JHSC Nordic program; yesterday was the first day for many of our programs including the youngest Lollipoppers (thanks to Coach Kathy for the top image above), while the bottom image (thanks to Coach Luna) was from the National Cross Country Championships in Michigan. A decade or so ago, these speedy racers were simple Lollipoppers, learning the joys of Nordic skiing on their first days of skiing. It is pretty amazing to watch the process as the years go by.
Today at Trail Creek you will find plenty of great skiing. Since yesterday’s extensive grooming, a short inch of snow has fallen with continuing light snowfall. Pretty much every trail received the attention of the Husky with classic tracks being reset on the narrower sections or where needed. The East Fields received multiple passes as well as much of the Close Field.
Today’s practice schedule is a bit lighter with Prep/Comp skiers and possibly the Ositos although they might be skiing at the middle school for a few weeks to get their skis under them. Thanks again to Coach Luna for the pictures from Houghton Michigan, the streaming link from the event web page should be live today.
Groomer’s choice for today is Moose Loop.
Teton Co./Jackson Parks & Rec
Grooming Today: Cache Creek, Wayne May Park, Game Creek, South Park Pathway
Last Update: 1/3
The pistenbully is down. Grooming will be done with the snowmobile and drag today. I attempted to groom the levee but it is too firm from use that our snowmobile groomer was unable to do anything. The levee won’t be groomed until new snow or the PB is back up and running.
Stilson has been groomed with the snowmobile. Conditions are ok. The tracks will be soft for awhile and I will not be able to set new classic tracks until the pistenbully is repaired.
The school fields have been groomed with the snowmobile.
