4th Annual Nordic Event Was a Huge Success
Great turnout, 500-600 attendees (and counting) perfect snow, good weather, lots of kids, first time skier and fat bikers. Attendees from JH, Idaho, Sheridan, Casper, Dubois, Alpine, even Lake Tahoe!
Thanks to the entire JH Nordic Alliance, our local sponsors, and Turpin Meadow Ranch for hosting this amazing event!

Sandbag Champion!
Yesterday a great group showed up at Trail Creek for the 2020 Sandbag Championship and the gal in the blue jacket above, Annika Peacock is this year’s champion. Pictured with Annika is her family; a great example of the way Nordic skiing can enrich people’s lives and family life. Thanks to Dave Adams for organizing the event with his decades of data collection that makes this race possible and especially to all the dedicated racers that came out for the fun day.
Today at Trail Creek most of the trails that have been abandoned over the past few days for the race have been brought back into the groomed category. Today’s Pisten Bull grooming was basically two passes, the first with fresh classic tracks and the second skate only. All in all conditions are great although skaters might find the recently resurrected sections slightly soft.
Looking ahead it is less than two weeks to our Johnny Curtis IMD Qualifier here at Trail Creek. Coach Ben would surely appreciate your volunteer time; if you are interested; email him at the link in his name.
Groomer’s choice for today is Boiler.
