Rave Reviews: Weekly Grooming of Teton Park Road


Thanks to all who supported this winter’s ski trail grooming collaboration between GTNPF, Grand Teton National Park, Teton County/Jackson Parks and Recreation and Jackson Hole Nordic Alliance. With your help, the inner park road was groomed 7 weekends this winter. 
Phil Leeds of Skinny Skis, a local Nordic ski shop, provides some feedback on the grooming schedule’s success:
“It’s fantastic. The regular grooming schedule makes such a difference, whether you’re using the trails personally or recommending them to a customer.  In past years, the conditions have just been too unpredictable. 

The groomed park road is the #1 destination for Nordic skiing in the area – just as the inner park road draws many tourists in the summer, park visitors in the winter want to visit the same beautiful area.” 
Parks and Recreation’s primary grooming machine, a PistenBully, has been put away until next winter as snow removal on the inner park began on Monday, March 24th.  Hats off to a great season!
