Trail Conditions for 7-3-24

Ill start with a ChrisP quote “You can be certain each year that all of the frontcountry trails will be snow free by July 4th”  We made it and got everything clear including the Skyline trail which opened up on July 1.  Its a sprint from late April til now to hike and bike the 150 miles of trail with a chainsaw and clear all the downed trees from the winter.  This often involves multiple trips as spring and summer wind storms inevitably bring down more trees the day after we cleared.  When this happens it really helps us to get reports of where the trees are and how big they are through our trail maintenance request button on our website.  Help us out and let us know if you see downed trees or other trail problems when you are out on adventures.  Have fun out on the trails over the holiday weekend!

Trail Conditions for 6-21-24

Teton Pass trails are almost snow free with some drifts remaining on the highest ridges and shaded north facing slopes.  We cleared up Phillip’s Canyon to the Arrow trail and up to Snotel, and then down the Ridge trail.  There were just a few patches of snow left on Arrow.  You can access everything from the Trail Creek trailhead or the Fish Creek Access to Phillip’s Canyon.  Old Pass Road is open but the highway is closed to vehicles and pedestrians this weekend as WYDOT hauls fill to fix the slide.  Josie’s Ridge too is closed for part of today as the helitac crew helps drop loads of rocks so the trail crew can finish reinforcing the steep switchbacks.  Crews also spent time this week brushing Munger, KC, Lindas, and treating musk thistle in Game Creek.  We will keep clearing the upper parts of Teton Pass next week and the trails should be good to go.  Continue to let us know if you see a tree down on the trail or any other problem that needs fixing, using our trial maintenance request button on our website.  Have a fun weekend!

Trail Conditions for 6-14-24

The Teton Pass trails were eerily quite today with no cars up there, its a unique experience to get out and explore.  Crews cleared up Crater, the Phillip’s Connector, Arrow to Snotel, and over to the Ridge trail and back down.  We also hit History, Ferrins, and Game Creek as some new trees fell with all the wind this last week.  We will get down the rest of the Ridge and Arrow to Phillip’s Canyon next week then work out way up towards Ski Lake.  We also continued to wage war on musk thistle up Game Creek and did some maintenance on the Blair Dr. Skills Track and the Melody Limits Singletrack this week.  Thanks to the mountain bike team for coming out to help.  Its beautiful and green out there and wildflowers are starting to pop up so get out and enjoy some trails this weekend!

Trail Conditions for 6-7-24

,

The trail in the Cache-Game system are all open and clear with the exception of the Skyline trail which opens on July 1.  The Munger Mountain system is in great shape too and beautiful this time of year with the aspen trees budding.  Teton Pass is slowly opening up and most trails are snow free up to about 7500 feet.  Crews this week finished up National Trails Day projects including a bridge on History trail and a turnpike on the new Big Rocks extension.  We also cleared lower History and Crater, Big Rocks, lower Blacks, and did a second pass on West Game and Wilson Canyon because trees in the burn area seem to fall every week.  Get out and enjoy the warm weather and use our trail maintenance request button if you see anything that needs attention out on the trails.

Trail Conditions for 5-31-24

,

This week crews cleared Game, West Game, upper Wilson Canyon, Crater, History, and Big Rocks.  Snow is melting fast and only a few drifts are lingering on the steep north facing spots on the Cache-Game system.  Teton Pass is opening up as well with most trails being snow free up to 7000 feet or so depending on shade and aspect.  If you would like to help us on trails come out for National Trails Day this weekend on Teton Pass.  We will be working from 9-12 on the History and Big Rocks trails, building a bridge and a turnpike.  Meet at the bottom of Old Pass Road for coffee and bagels and lunch after, hope to see you there!

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.

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.
