Happy New Year!
Happy New Year and best wishes for a great 2020! The New Year is coming in with nothing short of an epic snow storm with around a foot having fallen so far with heavy snow continuing. The Pisten Bully was valiantly trying to groom trails today but by the time a lap was accomplished, many inches of additional snow had fallen.
The really big thing on the horizon here at Trail Creek is the Sandbag Race at 10:30 on Saturday January 4th. Click on the image below to see an enlarged version of the course map and make sure to show up with your freestyle skis to participate in what should be a fun race.
Today’s grooming began with a Pisten Bully skate/classic pass of the race course followed by an additional skate pass. While conditions are definitely soft, nothing but smiles were on the faces of the skiers enjoying the white bounty falling from the sky.
Groomer’s choice for today is to plow through some of our wonderful fresh snow.

Several inches of fluffy snow overnight and continuing to snow hard this morning. Bully groomed everything this morning with fresh snow pilling up on top of track. Great day for a true winter outing. Additional snow made for great grooming and all trails are completely vegetation free and shaping up great. Snow expected all day today. We will reset everything with the bully in the morning.
Happy New Year! Come and see us in 2020.

9:20am: The school fields are groomed and in good shape. There will be no grooming tomorrow because of the holiday. Grooming will resume on Thursday on the regular schedule.
6:40am: The levee is groomed and in good shape although the classic track is a bit shallow since the track is very firm. I am starting Stilson shortly and should be done around 9:45.

New year, new snow! Your 20/20 vision on the Nordic course might not be so crystal clear as heavy snow and high winds could reduce visibility during today’s weather event. Good news, our Pistenbulley is back up and running, which should easily smooth out the track each morning! Expect softer conditions and possible drifting on the trails through Thursday. Happy 2020!
Next Update: Friday

Grand Targhee Nordic & Fat Biking

Mother Nature brought 6″ of fresh 9% powder, and that’s just an appetizer. The main course is still on the way, but I’ve heard rumors that it is also powder. The time has come, and the best part is that according to NOAA – tomorrow is going to be even better. If all goes as planned, there will be free refills for all! Expect snowy skies today with a high near 21. The windchill could reach -10. CoS is 100% and 7-11″ is predicted. A winter storm warning remains in effect through tonight.
Cross Country/Fat Bike 15k: XC OPEN (Last groomed 1/1/2019) no classic, Fat Bike CLOSED.
