Global Fat Bike Day, Sidewalk Sale at Teton Pines

Thanks to the presence of another sunny, warm day, all sale items will be set up outside. Teton Pines Nordic Center is also equipped with 100% touchless payments. They are also open for the season with about 90% of their tracks groomed for both skate and classic. Early season conditions do exist, so beware of some thin areas around the track.

Global Fat Bike Day means that you should check out the freshly groomed Southern Valley Single Track! Please drop your tire pressure when you’re creating a rut deeper than 1″ and educate your friends and peers if you notice someone else leaving a rut. Not everyone knows this trick or treat. Enjoy the fast tracks!
