Friends of the Bridger Teton 2023 Impact Report

Friends of the Bridger Teton has just released an impressive comprehensive report detailing the highlights, achievements and initiatives they’ve implemented over the course of this past year. We are so grateful for all they bring to our community! Read on to find out what Friends of the Bridger Teton have been up to.


GTNP Spring Crust Cruise & Bike

This has been the perfect weather and snow combo to crust cruise (skate and classic) before 11am, then switch to your bike as the day warms.

We had endless open meadows to ski, starting at the Cottonwood gate ( just north of Taggart), with no one in site. Then we spotted a skier barely visible in the distance circumnavigating Timbered Island (east of Teton Park road, 1 1/2 miles north of Taggart).

Next week looks to have similar conditions. Whether you get out in your skis in the crust, or your bike on the vehicle free road, be sure to go!!


April Nature News: Field Facts, Backcountry Tips, Trail Ideas

Provided by The Hole Hiking Experience

Field Facts

  • Meadowlarks, bluebirds and sparrows can be heard singing in the sage flats.
  • Bears seek carrion when they emerge from their dens. Sows and cubs will be active soon.
  • Lots of mule deer on the buttes near town enjoying the first green shoots.

Backcountry Tips

  • Reminder wildlife closures continue until May 1.
  • Spring has sprung and it’s time to carry bear spray!
  • Be respectful and tread lightly by avoiding muddy trails.

Trail Suggestions

It’s that time of the year when we can access the Grand Teton National Park inner road traffic-free before cars are permitted May 1. Park at Taggart Lake or Signal Mountain to access the road. It’s fun to bike, walk or roller blade. Cold nights will solidify the snow so you can enjoy the morning light and cross-country ski while the snow remains firm. In late April, join Grand Teton National Park rangers to watch the sage grouse perform their mating ritual. Amazing to see. Call 307.739.3399 for more information. Enjoy the change of season.


Thank you to our Groomers and all trail operators

THANK YOU to all our groomers, trail operators and public land management for hosting our endless Nordic and Winter trails. We are grateful for our groomed, ungroomed, winter wilderness areas and recreational spaces in Jackson Hole, Teton Valley, and Grand Teton National Park and beyond.

It has been a great season and it’s not quite finished for a number of locations. TVTAP trails, Shooting Star and Targhee continue to groom through this weekend, with some trails continuing on into mid April. Crust cruising will also be good for some time!


Teton (the dog) loves Jackson Hole’s dog friendly Nordic trails!

Teton is a beloved pet of one of our Silver Sponsors. We sure do love taking our pets on our favorite winter trails, don’t we? Don’t forget that you can filter out trails that are “dog-friendly” on jhnordic.com/trails.

We encourage winter trail users to support all of our grooming teams across Jackson Hole and Teton Valley. When possible please consider a donation to the trails you frequent. Please leave a comment such as “grooming” or “Nordic” in the designation or campaign section.


Trail Creek

Grooming has ended for the season.
Last Update: 4/1

Final Edition!
At 4:54 PM the Husky shut down after the final session of the year, wrapping up yet another glorious day and year at Trail Creek and what a year it has been!

In the dark days of November and December we wondered if we would even have a Nordic season as the snow was not materializing.  The Betty Woolsey did pull the Nordic community together on skate skis for a great day, even though there wasn’t even enough snow for the traditional classic tracks.  As 2024 rolled in, our snowy fortunes changed, bringing day after day of great skiing, so much so that the snow pack returned to normal allowing our three day January high school IMD competition to be a great success.  Record numbers of Lollipoppers, Teewinots, Ositos, and Devos joined our Prep/Comp and Junior teams in January as well, making for some crazy busy afternoons.  The Master skiers and elementary school winter sports programs also jumped into the melee as the winter rolled on.  We logged thousands of recreational skier days, our JHSC racers once again excelled nationally and internationally, and finally we wrapped up with the three day International Spring Series FIS race, capping off another season for the record books.

Nordic skiing can be a lifelong passion; most days we have skiers from kindergarten to well past social security age.  None of what we do would happen if there weren’t a whole lot of people that think Nordic skiing is a really good thing for not only themselves, but the youth and adults of our community as well.  Literally thousands of volunteer hours, generous community financial support, and the endless energy of our coaching staff, administrative staff, and youth skiers all come together to make this amazing thing we call JHSC Nordic and Trail Creek a wonderful thing, year after year.  Thank you if you are part of this community!

Before signing off until next year, prior to shutting down at 4:54 PM, the Husky made a final skate/classic pass through pretty much every trail in the system resulting in some lovely corduroy and classic tracks.  Watch the sun in the days to come, but there’s still time for one more amazing Nordic ski at Trail Creek.

Groomer’s choice for today is Trail Creek.
