Breathe Deep. Step Outside. Reset. 1.18.26

Oskar the dog takes a moment…furry friends showing us the way.

Do you ever feel like the days on the calendar are moving at a crushing pace? Sometimes we all need a breath of fresh air to put things in perspective. Being out on winter trails allows you to focus on the cadence of your breath and the magic of moving across the snow. Having awareness of rhythm and the beauty of the space you are traveling through takes your mind away from current stresses and puts you in the present moment which is a great way to renew and reset.

We are in a firm weather pattern of sunny days and clear nights. Mountain Weather shows this pattern continuing well into the week so grab a ballcap, sunscreen, and whatever you like to have on your feet to travel across snow because it is blue bird out there!

It’s Sunday and the sun is shining. Glistening snow covers the ground, trails are in good condition and the snowpack off trail is inviting exploration. Hopefully on a day like today you don’t have too many responsibilities… Give yourself the gift of a healthy body and clear mind: click the link below, choose a winter trail and get out there to enjoy it.

Snowshoeing is all terrain and the snow is currently set up well.

Breaking trail across Turpin Meadow, can you spot the moose in this photo?

Whatever you do today, it’s more fun with friends! Photo from Camina Conmigo

Classic skiing at it’s finest!

For the last 2 decades the Teton Ridge Classic (TRC) has been one of the premier classic events in the region. Last year we moved to a new venue that is perfect for classic skiing. The start and finish are on a private ranch where we can all gather post-race to swap stories, refuel, and hand out awards.

For 2026 we have a kids 1/2km and 2km. There are also 8km, 14km, and 28km distances. Course maps
