Teton Co./Jackson Parks & Rec Grooming Update
Recreational trails in Teton County are supposed to stay groomed until March 15. But two of the most popular, Cache and Game Creek, will remain functional through Saturday, March 28.
Jackson/Teton County Parks & Recreation receives grant funding from the Wyoming State Trails Program, which keeps county trails groomed through March 15. But county staff recognized the value Cache and Game bring to the community, and due to the good snowpack this year, decided to extend grooming services through March 28.
Targhee Trail Report
JH resident Dan S. points out the excellent trail conditions on the Grand Targhee Nordic trails: Freshly groomed, with good, hard morning conditions, spring snow in the afternoon.
Turpin Meadow Update
This Sunday is the last day for trail grooming at TMR. After Sunday, the trails will remain open (as most are on Bridger-Teton forest Service lands) , but no further grooming. The TMR Lodge has its last overnight Saturday night, and last lunch on Sunday. Still a deep base of snow thanks to an exceptional season for snow.
Thanks to Ron, Bobbi, Aaron (groomer and technical) and their fantastic team for hosting such a fantastic season!!
Trail Creek Nordic

Grooming Daily
Not Quite Yet
The crust has not quite firmed up enough for skaters to have a ticket to go wherever they want, although it is getting close. Classic skiers can scooch along pretty much wherever they want, but the more demanding skaters need a little more patience before crust cruising swings into action.
Conditions as of 9:30 AM at Trail Creek are once again sunny and calm with the temperature just passing through freezing on its way to really warm. Grooming for today was a bit of a switch up with it happening yesterday afternoon and evening. The Ginzu was able to make really good progress in the beginning although by the end of grooming the snow had frozen enough to cause some problems.
All trails received fresh classic tracks and skate grooming with the best results in the fields. While early morning conditions were quite icy, the afternoon should have some nice skiing for all techniques. Just remember the shadier the trail, the firmer the conditions.
Grooming will commence a little earlier this afternoon (around 4 PM) for Saturday. Snow returns rito the forecast Saturday night so grooming will switch back to mornings beginning Sunday for the time being.
Thanks to Coach Libby for some great shots of Wednesday’s Lollipopper Pine Bough Derby!

Beautiful, sunny day at Turpin, with fast trails and great porch sitting in the sun. Tomorrow looks to be shaping up to be another great day. Come and get one last ski this weekend before the grooming ends for the season on Sunday March 8.

Grooming Daily
We are closing early(3pm) on Tuesday March 3, but will resume normal hours on Wednesday March 4 (9am-4pm).
Conditions are still good and holding steady but watch the thermometer as we are in some pretty serious freeze/thaw cycles from now until the end of the season. The skiing will be best late morning after the temps begin to raise. Skate skiing conditions are typically awesome this time of year but classic track skiing conditions can vary drastically. The warm days make resetting the classic track challenging so please bear with us as we rapidly approach the end of the season! We’ve had incredible ski conditions and grooming for the past 100 days—so please thank our great groomers(Mike, Mark, and Curt)when you see them!
Our entire classic rental fleet is on sale now as we prepare to bring in a new rental fleet next season!
Classic package:
Salomon Snowscape 7 skis
Salomon Escape/Siam/etc boots
Swix poles
Total: $275 (dates for pickup vary on size you need—call us for details).
We have spring gloves, base layers, hats, jackets and a few pairs of pants remaining! We also have great deals on classic, BC, and skate skiing poles, boots, and skis!

Trails are in great shape and will favor fans of fast skate skiing. The recent warm weather has transitioned our snowpack into a hard-packed and icy surface. Due to the firmness of the snow, classic tracks will not be set today and likely for the remainder of the season. Also, skiers should anticipate icier/fast conditions in the mornings that should evolve to softer/slushy snow in the afternoons as the temperature warms. Outlook is calling for a wintery mix of rain & snow to pass through this weekend. Have fun and enjoy the spring conditions!

Grooming Today
Update: 2/22
Skier Update: Trail is ‘ groomed’ – not perfectly smooth corduroy, more “flattened and rolled”. Occasionally, there is a classic cross-country track, sometimes not. Certainly a nice hour and bit around the golf course with great views, a fun place to ski if you are looking for a new flat, groomed trail to try out.
Groomed with classic track on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

Nordic:Breezy, but not moving snow so far. All multi-use trails groomed this morning. Tree Loop and perimeter of Upper Surveyor also. Headed for the Golf Course now. Hopefully will have Golf Course and CCC trails done by lunchtime (Editor’s update: Mike won’t get to the CCC Pond trails today). About 16F degrees at Nordic Equipment Building this morning, slight breeze. Have a nice day.
Fat Bike 2/13: All Lower Kelly Park is groomed with a great riding base. Should be perfect conditions for the next 3-5 days due to high pressure system. For more information contact Geared Up, 307-399-5539 c.307-760-1912, www.gearedupbikes.com
