Wednesday Evenings

The Jackson Hole People’s Market occurs on Wednesday evenings from 4pm to 7pm.  Running from May 29 thru September 18, 2019. The market occurs at the Phil Baux Park at the base of Snow King Mountain. The growth of the market has been enjoyable and a pleasure to watch. The market’s popularity simply reinforces the fact that Americans are finally getting back in touch with local produce.

The shift in awareness of healthy, locally produced produce and its positive effect on local economies is great to see. The new location at the base of Snow King allows great access for East Jacksonites. It is also located close to the rodeo grounds for those looking for a pre-rodeo fix.

There is generally some music and the Phil Baux Park has a giant jungle gym, 2 large bouldering features, and a few covered picnic areas right at the base of Snow King Mountain. There is a very relaxed mid-week atmosphere that the market seems to exude.

Do not miss out on the mid-week mixer at the base of the King!

Snowmobile Hill Climb

Posted on: March 11th, 2015 by thcAdmin No Comments

2015 Events is cancelled due to poor snow conditions

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.

The Octane Addictions Freestyle Demo is a snowmobile jumping event at the Teton County Fairgrounds rodeo arean. 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 at 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.

Saturday mornings on the Town Square

The Jackson Hole Farmers Market occurs each Saturday morning on the Town Square from July 10 to September 19 for the Summer of 2014. The market runs from 8am to 12pm. Not only are there fruits and veggies, but baked goods, canned good and more. The community and visitors to the area have embraced the Farmers Market since it kicked off in the Summer of 2000. Attendance has steadily grown each year as the Farmer’s Market has become more diversified and now offers a larger number of vendors.

Raised in a family with a large garden I was exposed to fresh produce at an early age. Flavor is the best part, local produce tends take on the characteristics of its environment. High elevation, frost resistant crops that are widely grown in the area possess a fabulous crispness and taste.

The growing trend of Farmers Markets across the country has helped to nurture awareness of healthy eating, buying locally and getting to know your neighbors. The Hole Concierge strongly endorses increased consumption of organic foods, the localization of production and its inherent benefits. Farmers Markets provide healthy locally grown and produced products which in turn assists in creating sustainability within local economies. A number of small organic farms have cropped up in the area over the last few years creating jobs and reducing commuter traffic in the area.

Featured each week is a different chef, musician or group, and a non-profit. Vendors at the market donate 10% of their gross sales to the non-profit of the week. Over the past ten plus years the market has donated over $200,000 to local non-profit organizations. There are games for the kids and other features of the market. Hope to see you down on the Square.
