Trip Report: Grand Teton Park Road
Sunday in the Park! A glorious way to spend MLK long weekend. The Teton Park Road was beautifully groomed with 2 classic tracks and a skate lane, plus a snowshoe/ walking lane from the Cottonwood trailhead ( just north of Taggart Parking lot). The groomed trail narrows at the Highlands ( Climbers Ranch access road) to a double classic track plus skate ski lane that is shared with non- skiers. This is new this winter, designed to allow the GTNP road crew easier plowing in late March at the end of the Nordic ski season.
In spite of chilly temps (4f.) and a cold breeze from the north, our group of friends quickly warmed up, and had a perfect ski outing. We dressed in layers, brought water, a snack, handwarmers, so ready for anything.
We were greeted by several friendly volunteer GTNP Nordic Ambassadors, who donate time , experience, knowledge to enhance one’s Nordic ski experience – thank you volunteers!
While our group all chose classic crosscountry skis due to the cold temps, we did see a few skate skiers. Local nordic ski experts had advised that skate skiing gets slow and harder to glide at temps below 10F.
We so enjoyed our 8 mile ski. One of the most striking xc ski trails anywhere! Highly recommended whatever distance you go. -NL

More Snow = Better Skiing
This last storm cycle had the Nordic ski trail groomers of Jackson Hole and Teton Valley working overtime to transform dehydrated tracks into prime condition (thank you all!). Now that the snow has been shoveled, compressed, and made into beautiful corduroy skate lanes and classic tracks it’s time to get out there and ski! Where will you go? Check out our trails page for inspiration, with over 100 trails mapped and described there is something for everyone to enjoy.
We encourage you to try visiting somewhere new, maybe you’ll discover your next favorite place. And don’t forget, as a member of the JH Nordic community we value your perspective, please share a trail report (a short blurb and a photo) by emailing us at trailconditions@jhnordic.com.

Day Three Racing!
Sunday was day three of the three-day Johnny Curtis Memorial IMD Nordic, High Plains Nordic, and Wyoming High School race at Trail Creek. The venue was skate skiing with a start time at 9:00 AM. Since Saturday’s sunset, about four inches of champagne powder had fallen which blended nicely into the heavily used snow from Saturday. The gorgeous resulting corduroy should make for some fantastic racing Sunday! All information and results are on the website.

Cache Creek Singletrack
Groomed by Friends of Pathways
Grooming As Needed
Last Update: 1/13
We groomed the Cache Creek road to Noker Mine and upper Hagen from bridge 5 to 2. The lower trails are still a little thin on snow, especially under the trees, but are still compact enough to use for now. We will keep snowshoeing around and packing things in until there is enough snow to take the roller through.

Sherman Park
Grooming Schedule: Monday, Wednesday, Friday
Last Updated: 1/13
Took 3 laps around the track with the roller to re-establish the trail. Expect soft conditions.
Sherman Park is home to multiuse trails and pathways. The cross country trails were designed for classic and skate ski. The singletrack trail is preferred for fat tire bikes with a minimum of 3.8 inch tires. There’s a fantastic paved and plowed pathway around the entire perimeter of the park with mutt mitt stations and trash cans for your 🐶 furry companions waste. Please use the paved pathway when snow conditions are soft. Post hole foot prints and dog tracks ruin the groomed trails. Lots of options for everybody.
