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.

Stargazing at Rendevous Park

Posted on: October 18th, 2015 by thcAdmin No Comments

2015

Every clear Friday night, Wyoming Stargazing is hosting free public stargazing events at Rendevous Park. During the stargazing events they will be using their giant Dobsonian Telescope with a 20″ primary mirror to look at planets, stars, nebulae, galaxies, and more! They will also bring several iPads with the Star Walk application installed on them so you can explore the heavens while others are looking through the telescopes.

The telescopes are named after the late amateur astronomer John Dobson who designed the telescope mount used by those telescopes. John was also instrumental in popularizing amateur astronomy and amateur telescope building across the county. The programs will take place at roughly 9:00pm for the rest of the season. Feel free to show up for whatever portion of the program works for you.

These free public stargazing events have been made possible by a generous grant from the Wyoming NASA Space Grant Consortium, NASA Grant #NNX10AO95H.

Rendevous Park is located on the West Bank of the Snake River, on your Right just after you merge onto HWY 390 from HWY 22.

SHIFT Festival 2015

Posted on: October 6th, 2015 by thcAdmin No Comments

October 7-10, 2015

Held each October in the midst of the largest intact ecosystem in the Lower 48, SHIFT is an annual festival that celebrates the intersection of conservation with Nature, Culture and Adventure. The 2014 SHIFT Festival, which runs from October 7-10, includes speakers such as Yvonne Chouinard, Mark Bittman, Charlie Hamilton James, Angel Collinson, David Quammen, Lucas Debari as well as multiple programmatic pathways.

America’s first sustainable food festival activates the renowned bars, restaurants and foodists of Jackson Hole as we celebrate the interface of food, sustainability, health and place, connect people to the sources of their food, and strengthen our local food system.

The objective is to advance on-the-ground solutions that leverage outdoor recreation for conservation gains, and to provide a unified framework for these natural allies that will allow them to influence conservation and outdoor recreation policies at both local and international levels, thereby increasing success in the protection of our public lands and waters.

Conservation lies at the core of Jackson Hole’s environment, economy and character. Over the past 140 years, the region has been the epicenter of some of North America’s seminal conservation efforts, including the formation of Yellowstone, the world’s first national park, the drafting of the Wilderness Act, and the expansion of Grand Teton National Park to its current boundaries.

Throughout North America, some of our most beautiful and well-known communities—places like Bar Harbor, Moab, Sayulita and Hanalei—enjoy a similar relationship between economy, character and natural capital. We call such communities GEMS: Gateways to Environments of Major Significance. Each of these GEMS shares a fundamental reality: over the long term, they can be no healthier than the environments in which they reside.

These GEMS share another trait: they attract both millions of visitors each year and influential part-time residents. When they serve as models of sustainability, they have a unique opportunity to influence the behavior of their guests. By fostering sustainability in North American GEMS, SHIFT seeks to promote them as beacons of possibility—and, by extension, to affect the world they influence.

Teton County Fair

Posted on: July 21st, 2015 by thcAdmin No Comments

July 17-26, 2015

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!

It is exciting to have the community of Jackson to host an event of this caliber.

2015 Line Up:

Thievery Incorporated, The New Mastersounds, Sabo, The Librarian, Danny Corn, Sango, G Jones, Autograf, The NTH Power, Charles Bradley and his Extraordinaires, Screen Door Porch, Moon Taxi, Papadosio, The Polish Ambassador, Mr. Whipple, One Ton Pig, El Papa Chango, Cure for the Commoon, Tiger Fresh, Country Hammer, The Congress, Shaprece, Roosevelt Collier Gospel Brunch, Spirit Family Reunion, Roadkill Ghost Choir, Orgone, Mikey Thunder, Patti Fiasco, The Cave Singers, Sweater Beats, Quixotic, Djemba Djemba, Deltron 3030 and many more local and international acts.

The Main Stage will be at the Snow King Ball Field with music wrapping up around 10p.m. each evening. Late night shows will follow and will be hosted at the Pink Garter Theater, Center for the Arts, Town Square Tavern, and the Silver Dollar Bar in the historic Wort Hotel.

Jackson Hole’s March Radness

Posted on: March 13th, 2015 by thcAdmin No Comments

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort has slowly grown their Spring offerings. The continually beefed up Spring schedule offers visitors and locals an opportunity to take in some great acts. Last year culminated with 3 nights of free concerts, one in the town of Jackson and two at the Jackson Hole base area. This year a number of free concerts and events fill the March Calendar here in the Hole.

There are a few jackson Hole classic’s this months to boot: Dick’s Ditch Banked Slalom 3/7 & 3/7, Marmot Coombs Classic 3/22, and the ever popular Pole, Pedal, Paddle on 3/28.

Dubbed “March Radness,” the mountain resort and the community have put together a great month. We will again see a featured concert in town on March 20th. That will be followed up by two performances in Teton Village over the same weekend.

Headliners for this year include:

March 20 in the Town of Jackson

Jason Spooner and Robert Earl Keen

March 21st in Teton Village

Mix Master Mike along with Michael Franti & Spearhead

March 22nd in Teton Village(under the Tram)

Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real

Don’t forget about the biggest weekend of the year, the World Championship Snowmobile Hill Climb taking over the Hole from march 26th thru March 29th. Held at Snow King Mountain Resort, well worth checking this event out, amazing!

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.
