Phelps Lake

Posted on: August 5th, 2016 by thcAdmin No Comments

Phelps Lake in Grand Teton national Park can provide for excellent day hiking. Many will choose to only go to the overlook and return to the comfort of their vehicles and touring of the park. Those looking for a little more can choose to circumnavigate the lake or explore Death Canyon. Phelps Lake serves at the gateway to Death Canyon.

The area is beautiful. Once you get beyond the overlook the crowds will disappear. Pack some lunch, making it a day hike up Death Canyon provides dramatic contrast. The canyon walls tower above you. At the top of the hike there are sweet views of the Teton Shelf.

Trails lead to the lake from the Laurence Rockefeller Center as well. You can add a couple miles to your adventure and see the center as well.

Teton County Fair 2016

Posted on: July 31st, 2016 by thcAdmin No Comments

July 22-31, 2016

The Teton County Fair signals the heart of Summer in Jackson Hole. The fair grounds will be humming with activity all week long making this possibly the most entertaining time to visit in Summer. Visitors to area will find all the usual fair delights; rides, 4-H displays, livestock, petting zoo, nightly entertainment. The nightly events including the rodeo, live music, pig wrestling, figure 8 races and more. Parking at the fairgrounds is $10.

There is a food court located inside the main fair grounds with all of your usual delights. I recommend not missing out on some local fixin’s over by the events tent. Located on Snow King Ave., the tent hosts talent shows etc. throughout the day, which provides some entertainment while dining. You will find a large grassy area with some picnic tables located near the “Big Top” events tent.

My favorite is the philly cheese steaks or cheeseburgers at the Rocky Mountain Ministries food booth.

A collection of rides and games can be found around the fair’s “midway” that are sure to thrill children and adults.

Figure 8 Races seem to be a big hit with locals and visitors. In years past the Demolition Derby was the Sunday night featured event. Soon after the introduction of of the Figure 8’s, it replaced the Derby.

This event combines the smash and crash of a derby with a little finese. Cars race around a figure 8 track where “rubbin’s racin’!” A fireworks display concludes the fair on Sunday evening. Come on out and enjoy our fair!

Steeldrivers…St. John’s Hospital Benefit

Posted on: July 31st, 2016 by thcAdmin No Comments

July 31st

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of St. John’s Medical Center, St. John’s Hospital Foundation is hosting a birthday party open to the entire community on Sunday, July 31st at the Snow King Ballfield. Grammy Award-winning bluegrass band The SteelDrivers is headlining this free, family-friendly event to thank the community for supporting St. John’s Medical Center.

The St. John’s Hospital Foundation is thrilled to bring the 2016 Grammy Award-winning bluegrass band The SteelDrivers to Jackson. After winning a first-time Grammy award for the acclaimed #1 album The Muscle Shoals Recordings, The SteelDrivers are taking 2016 by storm. The group has played to numerous sold-out venues this spring.

“What better way to celebrate one of the community’s most important assets – St. John’s Medical Center – than with a community celebration and birthday party,” said John Goettler, Foundation president. “The Jackson Hole community has been incredibly supportive of St. John’s Medical Center since it was built 100 years ago. We are grateful for the commitment and financial support of our community donors, and this party is a chance for the Foundation to say thank you! We hope that everyone in the community will come and join the celebration.”

Festivities will begin at 4:00 pm with the Hootenanny Allstars, featuring several members of the Jackson Hole Hootenanny. Brent Moyer and Friends take the stage next, with special guest Nashville artist Mike Dowling on guitar. Rounding out the concert program is the Nashville-based band The SteelDrivers, which has been playing to sold-out audiences throughout the country. The music portions of the Centennial Celebration will be produced by Jackson Hole Live.

The Jackson Hole Hootenanny, itself a historic institution, goes back 50 years when Bill Briggs brought artists and musicians together under a bridge in Grand Teton National Park. In the 1990s, the Hoot (as most people call it) moved to Dornan’s Bar in Moose and showcases musicians every Monday night.

Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Brent Moyer moved from Jackson Hole to Nashville in 1986, but makes a pilgrimage each year to reconnect with the Jackson music scene. Known to many as the Global Cowboy, which is also the name of his 2008 recording, Moyer has released a total of 13 albums.

Mike Dowling spent more than a decade in Nashville playing sessions, fronting his own band, and writing songs for artists that included Del McCoury, Kathy Mattea, and Emmylou Harris. His engaging voice, self-deprecating wit, and arsenal of elegant interpretations of old blues, swing, ragtime, and original tunes captured the hearts of acoustic music fans.

Complimentary activities at the celebration include birthday treats, face painting, hula hooping, Jackson Hole Public Art’s mobile studio, the strider bike park, giveaways, and tips for healthy living. Food trucks and beverage vendors will be available, as they are for Jackson Hole Live events.

Partners for the event include Jackson Hole Public Art, Friends of Pathways, and the Jackson Hole Recycling Center.

11th Annual Crawfish Boil

By far one of the most entertaining and laid back events to hit the Hole. Locals thoroughly enjoy this day of all ages entertainment. I look forward to this day each year, the food is delicious and the music line-up tends to be quite good. The original version started out being hosted at Cutty’s Bar and Grill, located across from Alberstons. After a number of years the Boil outgrew its digs and had to relocate to the Snow King Ballpark. The event is co-hosted with JacksonHoleLive!

Grand Teton & Yellowstone Open

Posted on: May 10th, 2016 by thcAdmin No Comments

Spring is an adventurous time of year to visit the area. Weather can be unpredictable, but wildlife is on the move! The snowpack provides a beautiful contrast between the valley floor and the high peaks of the surrounding mountains. This year is the centennial for the National Parks System, come out, celebrate and enjoy these national treasures. Exploring Grand Teton and Yellowstone during the Spring months is a great time to be here. Before the Summer crowds hit, there are great dining deals to be had around Jackson. Wildlife viewing can be a much more natural experience than at busier times of year.

Yellowstone is currently open from Mammoth to Old Faithful; Madison to West Entrance; Norris to Canyon. The South Entrance is currently scheduled to open on May 13, 2016. The South entrance to Yellowstone National Park, which is the nearest to Jackson Hole, will soon be ready to accept visitors.

Grand Teton National Park is currently open from Moran to the South Entrance of Yellowstone; Moose to Taggart Lake Parking Area. The park’s interior roads are scheduled to open on May 1, 2016.

Most animals in the area will follow the receding snow line into the high country surrounding the valley. Elk in particular migrate in large number in and out of Yellowstone, wintering in and around the National Elk Refuge. You may see large numbers of animals still on the refuge or just a few stragglers, depending upon the snow depths and migration patterns.

Snowmobile Hill Climb

Posted on: March 20th, 2016 by thcAdmin No Comments

March 24 thru 27, 2016

The World Championship Snowmobile Hill Climb is held each March on Snow King Mountain. The race is put on by the Jackson Hole Snow Devils, a local snowmobiling organization. This event fills the town and attracts over 10,000 spectators throughout the course of the weekend. The race course rises nearly straight up from the base of Snow King. It is simply amazing that riders are able to pilot these machines up such a steep pitch.

It was not until the early 90’s that many sleds even had a chance of summiting the challenging course. With the advent of new technologies, since the mid nineties, it is truly a race versus a high point competition.

On Saturday at 7pm…Octane Addictions Freestyle Demo is a snowmobile jumping event at the Teton County Fairgrounds rodeo arena. Tickets are $20.

This event is sure to provide some high speed thrills and spills! The central viewing area and that corner of town in general tend to be pretty lively. If you have never seen something like this before, make some time to take in the hill climb. The racing heats up over the weekend with qualifying Saturday and the finals, “King of the Mountain,” on Sunday. Racing starts up early, around 8am, and generally lasts until 5p.m. or so.
Schedule of Events.

Take the chairlift to the summit and back down to see the race from an entirely unique perspective. The views of the valley from the chairlift on a clear day are pretty spectacular as well. Should choose to walk down along the course, be prepared for a steep and potentially thrilling descent.

Book your lodging early as the town tends to get pretty full over the hill climb weekend. With the event being held in town, many properties are with walking distance of the hill climb. Utilize the S.T.A.R.T. bus to get around town. Don’t drink and drive, there tends to be a heavy police presence around the valley for this event.

Pond Skimming

March 20th, 2016

This annual event provides for a great afternoon of entertainment. The Pond Skim has been growing over the last few years, drawing more and spectators and participants. Food and beverages are available on site. This event tends to have a very festive and party like atmosphere that is fun for all ages. Many competitors dress in costumes and will do multiple skims through the pond. Participants are of all ages.

If you would like to participate you can easily sign up at Snow King Mountain. Don’t miss out on this ski town classic, its an annual right of Spring. The spills will no doubt end in some chills when crawling from the pond. Creative riding and some splashing of the crowd tends to add a little excitement for everyone. Competitors try to go backwards and do all sorts of tricks to the delight of the crowd.

The weekend’s Pond Skim signals the kick off the final week of lift served skiing for the season at Snow King Mountain. The World Championship Snowmobile Hill Climb moves onto the slope of the King for the following weekend, marking the end of the season for Snow King Mountain.

Jackson Hole Rendevous

Posted on: March 17th, 2016 by thcAdmin No Comments

March 17th thru 20th, 2016

Apres Skitastrophe???

Posted on: March 14th, 2016 by thcAdmin

Teton Village has grown quite significantly over the years, the Apres ski scene however, has left much to be desired. I have even heard term “apres-don’t”. On the weekends the lack of seating or even standing room, at times, is overwhelming enough to drive many locals out of the village and back home. I would imagine that quite a few visitors have just headed to the local liquor store, then retreated to their rooms or the hotel/condo’s pool and hot tub. There is some great food and fun to be had, you just need to get off of the hill by 2:30-3pm to score a good seat at your desired location. Many people can often be seen trolling the village looking for a place to sit and unwind after 4pm.

Weekdays during non-holiday times generally leaves folks with the ability to go where they desire. You may sometimes find that some places are virtual ghost towns during off peak periods. It is certainly an odd mix in the Village.

The Bodega can be a good call. Providing a laid back environment, with some delicious brats. There is a little space indoors, more tables and seating are available just outside. There is some great Southern exposure so you can soak in some afternoon rays.

Teton Thai is a little slice of Thai heaven. The food is amazing! Off of the beaten path a bit, they are located by the Ranch Lot, a shuttle goes back and forth most hours if you do not feel like making the walk.

King Sushi is my favorite “get out of Dodge” move. Jump on the bus or into your car and head straight to town. Get a nice deal on some drinks and sushi at one of the best places in town. If you get off of the hill before 4pm, grab a “tall boy” and soak up some rays along the Village Commons then head to town a little after 4pm. They are located just off of the town square.

The Mangy Moose Saloon is the traditional hotspot. Being written up in a number of ski magazines as the place to be. The Moose isn’t quite as wild as it used to be, but it is certainly a place to mix with the locals and “out of towners.” There is often live music and a great take to take in some afternoon sun.

The Spur located in Teton Mountain Lodge is a local go to. The Spur gets going pretty good on the weekends. They have a great drink selection, yummy food and an inviting atmosphere.

Osteria inside of Hotel Terra can be a great place to slip into. Often overlooked, they have a quaint bar with decent

Dick’s Ditch Banked Slalom

Posted on: February 27th, 2016 by thcAdmin No Comments

March 5th-7th

The Dick’s Ditch Banked Slalom is an exhilerating twist on the traditional slalom. Course inspection begins on Friday. The format for the race weekend will hold qualifiers on Saturday and “winner-takes-all” on Sunday.

Dick’s Ditch Classic utilizes a natural ditch which winds its way down most of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. The race event utilizes the ravine which runs through the middle portion of the mountain. “This “big mountain ditch” has huge banked walls with steep pitches and opportunities for plenty of air. The course’s natural terrain is “enhanced” with some manmade features providing an amazing venue for this ski and snowboard race. The event format, as the name implies, is that of a banked slalom. This race course changes a bit each year and is like nothing you’ve seen before.

This is a wild event which is sure to feature a few spills and some wild riding. Rollers, gaps, bumps and jumps are just a few of the sculpted features that keep racers on edge. The challenging course pushes racers physically and mentally.

Competition heats up over the weekend as racers become familiar with the course and conditions. There is prize money and awards up for grabs. This event attracts many of the area’s best all-around riders. Skiers and boarders look forward to this event each year as competition continually heats up.

As the event has matured over the years the course has become more exciting and refined. Doing some laps off of the Marmot Chair can provide some good viewing opportunities from the chair and along the course which snakes down the edge of Amphitheater. Be sure to take in some of the action over the weekend if you are out riding JHMR over the weekend.

Simply register on-line. You will be contacted by the service’s representative to schedule your fitting. A friendly and knowledgable staff will take you through the fitting. All of the “latest and greatest” skis and snowboards are available. Beginner to Advanced equipment is available.

This service can be especially valuable during peak holiday times. Lines tend to swell a bit around the rental counters on busy days. Delivery services are often the best answer to more complicated group dynamics.
