March 31st

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)*
