Winter Grooming Wraps Up in Grand Teton National Park and Teton County

Last Friday marked the end of Winter Grooming in Teton County. Some highlights of this year’s grooming program, run by Teton County Parks and Rec, were the addition of a new half mile track at May Park and 15 miles groomed on Teton Park Road in Grand Teton National Park.

Grand Teton Park Foundation found that there are enough funds to extend the grooming in the park by one more week. Friday, March 21 will be the final day for grooming on Teton Park Road.

Teton Park Road will be open for recreation until March 24th when the GTNP staff will begin snow removal. When the plowing is complete (in mid-April) the road will be open for pedestrians and cyclists only. The road will reopen to vehicles on May 1. Full Press Release

Friends of Pathways thanks the JH Nordic Alliance, Teton County Parks and Recreation, Grand Teton National Park, and Grand Teton National Park Foundation for their role in funding and implementing a weekly grooming program from Bradley Taggart Parking to Signal Mountain Lodge.

@friendsofpathways

The rise of e-bikes has brought a surge of positive and negative repercussions to our Teton County pathways. Friends of Pathways received an Opportunities Grant from the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole to explore this topic, and whether changes in e-bike regulation, public education and/or pathway design would benefit the public.

We want to hear from you! Please take our e-bike use survey at the link in our profile. Now is your chance to share your thoughts with a larger group of pathway stakeholders, including Teton County, Town of Jackson, law enforcement and federal government representatives.

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’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.

✔️Over 100 bikes checked
✔️Brakes adjusted
✔️Headsets tightened
✔️Tires pumped

Students could opt-in to get their bikes checked. All bikes that were checked were given report cards. If a student had a bike with major issues, they were asked to bring it to a local shop. Students who may need financial assistance with their bike repairs can contact the school to get a voucher good for a free tune at @wheelwranglers. ❤️

Huge huge thank you to the bike shops that helped us out today: @hobacksports @openrangecycles @thehub_jh @wheelwranglers

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! ❤️ 🚲 🏫
