A Heartfelt Thank You to Teton Area Groomers
Throughout the 2023-2024 ski season in the Teton area, a dedicated group of groomers worked diligently behind the scenes to maintain over 200 miles of Nordic ski and winter trails. Their efforts, often unseen by those who enjoy the trails, were crucial in ensuring safe and enjoyable experiences for winter recreators. From National Parks to our local recreation centers, these grooming operations played a vital role in shaping the winter landscape. As the season draws to a close, it’s important to express gratitude to these hardworking individuals for their tireless efforts in keeping the trails groomed and accessible to all.
Let’s take a collective moment to tip our hats in appreciation towards our groomers, whose unwavering dedication ensures crisp, well-maintained tracks throughout the entire season.
Winter’s Review: a Photo Montage
While winter may be winding down it’s fun to take a look back over the season, enjoy the photos and memories!
JHNordic is Now Officially a 501c3!
After many years of operating as a community-resourced grassroots organization, led by our passionate volunteer founder, Nancy Leon, and a bevy of talented volunteers and partners, JH Nordic initiated an application with the IRS to register as a non-profit entity in the summer of 2023. This week, we received our letter of determination approving our status as a 501c3. JHNordic.com will be visible as JHNordic.org, and will still be the same curated resource bringing you oodles of real-time grooming, local insights and expertise, and beta for our regional winter trails! We have marked our calendars to join the Old Bill’s kick-off meeting in May and will proceed with living into our new non-profit status over the next few months. We of course welcome donations at any point, and hope to see you at Old Bill’s on September 7, 2024!
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!
