Friends of Pathways Winter Grooming Fundraiser

Donate $30 or more for your chance to win a fat bike, a night at Turpin Meadow Ranch, or winter running shoes.

Winter is blowing in and as the snow stacks up Friends of Pathways is grooming 12+ miles of winter singletrack in the Cache Creek area – the only free winter singletrack in Jackson Hole. This includes 4.6 miles on the Cache Creek Road, 7.5 miles of singletrack along the Hagen Trail, Ferrins Trail and more.

Currently all the winter trails are ridable. Grooming has begun and will go through April, weather depending. If you enjoy using these trails, please give to FOP’s Winter Grooming Campaign!

Thanks to Velo22, the source for cycling events and routes in Teton County, who started us off with a generous $1,000 donation! Please be the next to donate to FOP and be sure to share this campaign with your friends and fellow trail users.

Donate $30 or more to this campaign and you will be entered to win one of three prizes from our generous partners!

You could win a Salsa Heyday Fat Bike from Open Range Cycles , a one-night stay this winter at Turpin Meadow Ranch , or winter running shoes, sports nutrition and supplements from Skinny Skis!

Prizes are limited to adults 18 or older who live or work in Teton County, WY.

Almost 45,000 trips were taken on the Hagen Trail and Cache Creek Road last winter. FOP has invested in new grooming equipment that will help us cover more terrain more efficiently. That equals more fun for you!

In the fall and the spring, hundreds of students in Jackson Hole bike to school, thanks to Teton County’s well-connected pathway network. @friendsofpathways wants to make sure kids get to school safe, so once a year we do bike safety checks at the middle school - the epicenter of e-bikes! Many thanks to @wheelwranglers @openrangecycles @hobacksports and @thehub_jh for helping do bike safety checks this year.

Sweet bollard bike lanes
That connect community
Will be gone Monday

🍂

That’s a bollard haiku to let you know that on Monday, October 14, 2024 Teton County Parks and Rec will be removing the bollard bike lanes from Willow Street and Snow King Avenue for the season.

While it will be sad to see them go, let’s celebrate the thousands of people who use the pathway network daily.

This year, from May 1 - Sept 30, Snow King Ave alone saw 126,552 total bike trips. That’s 827 average trips a day. 🚲

The peak daily use on Snow King Ave. was July 4th when 2,014 bike trips were taken. 🇺🇸

There have been 1,201,610 total trips on all pathways so far this year! 🙌

Today was Bike Safety Day at Jackson Hole Middle School.

E-bikes and our well-connected pathway system enable thousands of people in our community to get around without the use of a car. But with that benefit comes safety issues - speeding, poor etiquette, and serious injuries. Love them or hate them, when it comes to e-bikes, there’s lots to talk about!

At the link in our bio, listen to Friends of Pathways Executive Director Katherine Dowson and Teton County / Town of Jackson Pathways & Trails Coordinator Brian Schilling talk to 89.1 KHOL Host Pete Muldoon about the pros and cons of e-bikes on Jackson pathways during his new show called The State of Jackson.

Twenty five years ago, 13-year-old Gabriella Axelrad was struck and killed by a vehicle while cycling with her family in Grand Teton National Park. In response to the tragedy, Friends of Pathways and the Jackson Hole community advocated for the separated pathways in the park, which exist today. Back then, there was only about 10 miles of pathway in Teton County, now we have more than 70 miles.

On Sunday, we celebrated Gabriella with her family by cycling from Moose to Jenny lake along the pathways that commemorate her. It was encouraging to see so many in support of pathways, how far we’ve come as a community, and to also recognize how much work still needs to be done.

Friends of Pathways Bike Safety Education coordinator Aaron Nydam works with our elementary schools and our middle school to teach kids proper bike skills and etiquette. This past week he worked with the New Comers program - kids that are just arriving to the school district. He taught bike safety and during the class, realized many of the kids didn’t have access to helmets. So we rounded up 24 helmets from @lemhelmets and got the kids quality lids to protect their heads! The kids were very grateful and even wrote Aaron very kind thank you notes that should make you smile and improve your day! ❤️ 🚲 🏫
