Updates from the Groomers
Grand Targhee Nordic Trails
Classic will be set when there is more snow…skate is great.
New highlights: all trails are shared use with snowshoers, Nordic skiers and fat bikers; you can ski with your four-legged pals and dogs need their own season or day passes; the Quakie loop has been cut from grooming; and there’s a brand new rental fleet of snowshoes.
Shooting Star Pending 18” Snow
The Shooting Star team is looking forward to another great season. Trails are closed until there is enough snow to start grooming – 18” for the snowmobile and 24”+ for the snowcat. Once there is enough snow on the ground, the team needs several days to pack and prep trails prior to opening. Next update anticipated Dec. 6.
Events
While most groomed tracks are not in avalanche terrain, plenty of light touring opportunities bring you in or below avy terrain. Refresh your decision-making skills, celebrate our community’s incredible backcountry culture and maybe win some cool stuff.
At the Black Tie, Blue Jeans Ski Ball atop the Bridger Gondola you can enjoy a great party and help JHSC student-athletes of all financial backgrounds have the opportunity to grow as athletes and individuals.
JH Nordic Alliance and Partners hope you all come to the Annual Free Ski, Snowshoe & Fat Bike Event at Turpin Meadow Ranch for a day of playing in the snow and being surrounded by a bunch of people who really love human-powered winter adventures.
