Zipline Adventures

Posted on: June 23rd, 2015 by thcAdmin No Comments

Zip Yellowstone operates out of two area. Gardner and Big Sky. Combination packages such as the Zip n’ Dip are quite popular.

The Gallatin River ZipLine is located between Bozeman and Big Sky, Montana, right off highway 191, just over an hour drive North from West Yellowstone. The dramatic scenery includes towering limestone cliffs, pine forest and a rushing river. This is the area where the movie A River Runs Through It was filmed. On these tours, you start by ascending sky bridges to a tree platform 55ft in the air! Both tours have two Zips across the Gallatin River! The Super Zip adds to the experience with more adventure elements. Test your balance on our swaying wooden swings or try our optional cargo net climb.

Yellowstone Ranch ZipLine is located on the historic Stermitz Ranch in the mountains bordering Yellowstone Park, just outside of Gardiner, MT. The tour will take you up a mountainside and then soaring back down. Gaze at the gorgeous pristine vistas, listen to the gurgling mountain stream and watch for wildlife on this remote and scenic property. To add to the thrills, go for the Grande Tour. Two of these zips are a breathtaking 1200+ft and take you flying ridge to ridge, 200ft above Cinnabar Creek! The trips meet in Gardiner and we shuttle you to and from the zip line course.

I have been receiving very positive reviews from guests touring the area. If you are in Gardiner or West Yellowstone take a sometime to include Zip Yellowstone into your vacation.

Contour Music Festival

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

June 11, 12, 13, 14 of 2015

A new event hitting the Hole this Summer. The Contour Music Festival will occur over the second weekend in June. This will be first festival of this magnitude to be hosted in Jackson. There is an extensive line-up of musicians, covering a variety of musical genres. The event looks to be a good one, with multiple venues and a strong line up of acts.

Jeff Stein and Matt Donovan are our hosts. They have worked diligently to get Contour off of the ground. The three words they are using to describe the Contour experience are: intimate, innovative and elevated. Contour is a non-genre specific event, one that should be attractive to a wide audience. Part of that idea is having the chance to be introduced to music types that people may not have previously experienced. Designed to be an annual event, with increasing impact and benefit over the long-term, we all hope that this inaugural events goes well. 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.

Grand Teton and Yellowstone Open

Posted on: May 4th, 2015 by thcAdmin No Comments

The South entrance to Yellowstone National Park, which is the nearest to Jackson Hole, is ready to accept visitors. Spring is an adventurous time of year to visit the area. Weather can be unpredictable, but wildlife is on the move! The melting snowpack provides a beautiful contrast to the local mountains.

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 here on the National Elk Refuge. You may see large numbers of animals still on the refuge or just a few stragglers, depending upon the snowpack.

Posted on: April 25th, 2015 by thcAdmin No Comments

This Winter every other clear Friday night, Wyoming Stargazing is hosting free public stargazing events on the lawn next to the Center for the Arts. During the stargazing events we will be using our giant Dobsonian Telescope with a 20″ primary mirror to look at planets, stars, nebulae, galaxies, and more! We 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 from 7:00-9:00pm for the rest of the winter. 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

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.

Dick’s Ditch Banked Slalom 2015

Posted on: February 27th, 2015 by thcAdmin No Comments

March 6th-8th

The Dick’s Ditch Banked Slalom for 2015 goes back to a single weekend format this year. Course inspection begin 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.

Teton Ice Park

Posted on: January 20th, 2015 by thcAdmin No Comments

Ice climbing in Jackson Hole has never been closer. The Teton Ice Park provides the easiest access ice climbing in the Jackson area. The ice park has created a convenient venue in which to practice ice climbing. This Winter the park has moved over the Tetons to Jackson, and now finds its home at the base of Snow King Mountain Resort. By using low-flow shower heads and some mining pipe to spray water on a 40 foot retaining wall, the resort has created multiple features upon which to climb. The North facing aspect keeps the ice in ideal condition. The venue is perfect for learning basic climbing skills. The multiple features also serve as a practice area for more advanced climbers looking to hone their techniques.

Aerial Boundaries is operating the park and offers classes to all levels of ice climbers, from folks who have never climbed a single thing, to those who are looking to improve upon their current skill set. The features vary in size and with with some being 30’+. Ice climbing is a fun and exciting sport, explore this activity while visiting here. There are not too many places that have such convenient access to ice like this.

Access to the Teton Ice Park is available by purchasing a Day Pass or Punch Card. All users will need to pass a skills assessment. Day passes are $20 and can be purchased on site during open climbing hours. Please contact Aerial Boundaries to arrange access and/or classes. The park is located behind the Love Ridge Condominium complex, above the parking area by the Rafferty lift.

On clear days spectacular views of the Tetons and the Teton Pass areas can be had from the climbing venue. The ice park itself is pretty cool to see for itself.

Jeremy Jones’ Higher

Jones and his crew are elevating their game and taking their quest to the next level for the third and final installment of the DEEPER, FURTHER, HIGHER trilogy from the award-winning producers at Teton Gravity Research. Presented by Subaru, JEREMY JONES’ HIGHER traces Jones’ snowboarding journey from hiking Cape Cod’s Jailhouse Hill as a child to accumulating several generations’ worth of wisdom and expertise about thriving and surviving in the winter wilderness.

Along with friends like Jackson Hole’s own Bryan Iguchi, Jeremy leaves tracks on signature lines in Jackson Hole, Lake Tahoe and other close-to-home playgrounds he’s made his own. He also makes history with far-flung first descents in the Eastern Alaska Range and the Himalayas of Nepal, where the stakes are as high as the peaks themselves.

$1 from every ticket sold to this premiere will be donated to support Protect our Winters. Jeremy started Protect Our Winters (POW) in 2007 to address the impact of climate change on our mountains. POW’s mission—to engage and mobilize the winter sports community to lead the fight against climate change—was founded on the idea that the collective power of the winter sports community is massive, and that if we can all work together, the end result can be revolutionary.

Shift Festival 2014

Posted on: September 26th, 2014 by thcAdmin No Comments

October 8-12, 2014

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 8-12, includes speakers such as Barry Lopez, Dr. Marion Nestle, Ed Zahniser, Luther Propst, Auden Schendler and Asher Jay, 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 SHIFT Summit convenes leaders from GEMS who are working to preserve and sustain the natural capital of their communities. The Summit is built around the 50 winners of the 2014 SHIFT Sustainability Awards. The awards, which were decided by our SHIFT Partners, recognize the most effective, innovative sustainability initiatives currently underway in North American GEMS.

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.
