Topping Out the Weirdness Charts
Today’s grooming experience was definitely a strange one. Gusts up to 30mph and blowing snow brought occasional whiteout conditions, but this was paired with temperatures reading upwards of 42 degrees! Many of the fields trails will likely be gone by this afternoon, so skiing in the woods might be advised. Additionally, grooming has now shifted back to race-focused, in preparation for the upcoming state finals, so several trails will be abandoned for the next week.
Today’s grooming was of the race course, with single or double grooming as was appropriate. Classic tracks have been put down on the entire course for race previews and non-racers, but will be removed over the next few days. Most fields grooming was damage control, so hopefully it will be easier to see tomorrow, but the Stadium, Lower Stadium, and Lollipopper land, at least, got full groomings. Skyview was drifting in before the groomer came around for a second pass, so was left as-is for the moment.
Groomer’s choice for today is getting into the woods and skiing the race course.

Shooting Star
Grooming Daily
Last Update: 2/20
Anticipate very windy, snowy, and drifty conditions today through Wednesday as this current severe winter storm passes through. Advice would be to avoid trail usage during whiteout conditions and if you decide to brave the elements use a touring/backcountry Nordic set-up. Grooming will continue to occur daily throughout this weather event but will likely be ongoing past 10am as these conditions make for a slow groom. Again, please avoid trail usage when whiteout conditions exist and use extreme caution if venturing out on the trails during severe winter weather. Conditions look to be more favorable for Nordic Skiing on Thursday. Thanks, and stay safe!
Please help support trail grooming in GTNP by donating to the Grand Teton National Park Foundation. It’s easy and encouraged.

Turpin Meadow Ranch
Grooming Daily
Last Update: 2/20
It’s storm skiing today. The flats and the mule loop had multiple passes and classic track set in most places however the snow is filling in quickly. The lower pasture did not receive any attention today so it will be a great spot for your BCXC skis. Fat biking is not recommended today, the single track is open for snowshoeing but closed to bikes today.
Turpin Meadow Ranch is open to all for skiing, lodging, dining, Nordic lessons, and tours! Closing day (March 12, 2022) is not too far away so make your plans to come to Turpin soon! Call the office (307) 543-2000 or visit our website to book your adventure and/or meal!

All rolled and good to go. Little soft in places but should set up nicely if the wind doesn’t cause too many drifts.

Made a few passes with the roller just to claim the track from the new snow. Did not set the classic track with the forecast. Skating should be ok but a little wavy with the new snow sticking to the roller.
