Winter Trails Day was a fun day among friends at Cache Creek this past Saturday, March 1st! Thank you, Friends and Pathways for putting it on and to Karen Daubert for representing Jackson Hole Nordic Alliance. ?? With hard freezes at night and ?? warm days, folks can gain quite a bit of speed on the snow. Here’s a friendly reminder to all trail users: “Be nice. Slow down. Say hi!” ???? #jhnordic #jacksonhole #recreateresponsibly

?? Late Winter Grooming Operations Update ??

Here are the anticipated last grooming dates for winter trails around Jackson and Teton Valley. Keep in mind, these dates are snow-dependent, so grooming may wrap up sooner in some areas. ?

Teton Valley Trails & Pathways – Valley trails 3/15, Teton Canyon & Southern Valley 4/1 ?? Jackson Hole & Teton County Parks & Rec – 3/15 (possible extension in Cache & Game) ??

?? Last week our Forest Service were subject to challenging job cuts to their staff. We know that our National Forests we love will suffer in the level of service they provide all year round with services like: trailhead support, conflict mitigation, snowmobile trail grooming, general maintenance, and small businesses that contract with the Forest Service and recreational management for many distinct agencies. Please consider calling your congressional leaders to voice your concern. Congressional Delegates: Wyoming: ?? Representative Harriet Hageman: 202-225-2311 ?? Senator John Barrasso: 202-224-6441 ?? Senator Cynthia Lummis: 202-224-3424 Idaho: ?? Representative Mike Simpson: 202-225-5531 ?? Senator James Risch 202-224-2752 ?? Senator Mike Crapo 202-224-6142
