The Marmot Coombs Classic is another of the events that many locals look forward to. The Coombs Classic is a vertical footage challenge of sorts. Each participant in the event receives one raffle ticket for each lap they complete on designated routes. There are two route options for skiers and riders with different abilities.

This race is in honor of legendary ski-mountaineer and Jackson Hole local, Doug Coombs (1957-2006). He was loved and admired by everyone around him. His prolific career included skiing some of the boldest lines in Alaska’s Chugach, the Tetons, Alps and the Himalayas.

To sign up for the event, meet at the bottom of the mountain, between the tram and the gondola. Here you’ll pick your desired route and receive your commemorative patch.

*Note, the maximum number of raffle tickets you can earn is five (5)*

Dick’s Ditch Banked Slalom

Posted on: February 22nd, 2013 by thcAdmin No Comments

Skier competition March 1-3 and Snowboarder competition March 8-10, 2013

***changes to the 2013 format***

The Dick’s Ditch event will span two weekends this year. The first weekend, March 1-3, will feature skiers. The following weekend, March 8-10,will feature snowboarders. The format for both race weekends will hold qualifiers on Saturday and “winner-takes-all” on Sundays.

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 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 manmade features that keep racers on edge.

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. Many of the top local riders 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. Be sure to take in some of the action over the two weekends if you are out at the village.
