Best Apres Ski Spots on the Westbank of Jackson Hole

Trip Report: Eastern Wind River Range
If you are looking for a few new groomed Nordic ski trails ( with a comfortable overnight option) , and only 90 minutes south of Jackson , consider visiting the Nordic trails near White Pine Ski Resort, above Pinedale. Set on Bridger Teton National Forest public land, and supported by Sublette County, we appreciated discovering a regional, well maintained Nordic ski trail network, in a beautiful , vast, mountainous area of Wyoming with its own beauty.
A group of friends explored the Elkhart Park Road trail on classic xc skis under sunny skies, with close views of the central Wind River range and distant views of the Wyoming Range.
We stayed 2 nights at the comfortable, family run Lakeside Lodge, half way between Pinedale and White Pine. Our first day, some skied part of the perimeter of frozen Fremont Lake.
The Elkhart Park Road trail climbs approx 1000 ft over 4.1 miles going up, then a pleasant downhill run back, with excellent classic and skate grooming. Dog friendly, and very few other skiers.
There are 2 other Nordic trail loops near White Pine, In beautiful valleys, with rolling terrain ( and some decent uphills!) Note that the Lower trail loop , Kelly Park Loop, allows dogs and fat bikes, while the Upper Loop trails do not.
We stopped at Pine Creek Cafe in Pinedale for some excellent expresso coffees before driving home.
Everyone enjoyed the adventure of discovering new trails and beautiful Wyoming landscapes relatively close to home. And supporting and respecting another winter trails community with responsible recreation.
When you do visit Nordic and winter trails set on National Forest public lands, please be a good steward as well as consider supporting their maintenance via donation. We encourage you to visit Friends of Bridger Teton: https://www.btfriends.org/ and the Sublette Trails Association: https://www.sublettetrails.org/winter-trails

Elking Around!
Congratulations to our local ski teams! They managed to pull in five medals yesterday, and made a really great showing for our area. If you see them, be sure to congratulate them on their hard work and success!
The elk were enjoying our trails this morning, leaving an excellent amount of tracks across many of the wooded areas. I did my best to clean up the mess, but some tracks remained; hopefully tonight’s snow will make cleaning up the rest of them a straightforward process going into tomorrow. Today’s grooming was a single pass across most wooded trails and a double pass through the East Fields. Remember, tomorrow we switch to pre-Moose Chase grooming!
Groomer’s choice for today is the East Fields.

After a sunny but very brisk week, it appears that temperatures will begin warming up today and remain “warmer” over the weekend. Trails continue to groom out nicely and skiing should ski faster as the temperatures rise. Look for calm and sunny weather through Saturday, followed by light snow Sunday & Monday. Enjoy! Next update will be Monday.

Freshened everything up with the Ginzu. Left the classic track alone as it’s still in decent shape and more snow will make it better. Skating should be great , still a few footprints that might be visible but didn’t want to set the ginzu too deep. Walking/single track was buffed as well Please walk on walking trail if possible and pick up after your dogs…lots of poop in the park!

Groomed early Friday evening so the track could set up overnight. Buffed out the skate lane. Reset the right side classic track but it came out kind of crumbly. Decided I could not improve the left side classic track so I left it as is. Should be great skiing!
