Jackson Hole Ski & Snowboard Club Annual Ski Swap Cancelled
The Ski Club decided late this morning to cancel the Ski Swap due to respect for community health concerns.
“This is a truly gut-wrenching decision to make,” Chief Marketing Officer Jeff Moran said in a prepared statement. “We’ve been working with Teton County Public Health and other partners to create a safe and responsible event plan, but when our team stopped to consider all possible outcomes, we realized the safety of our community has to outweigh the fundraiser.”

Winter outlook in JH
Where to go Nordic skiing, fat biking, snowshoeing on our winter trails.
