The Jackson Hole Winterfest is an array of events held over a 2 week period in February. In its third year momentum continues to grow as new events are added to the schedule. The community comes alive over this 2 week period.

An event not to miss out on is the annual Shriner’s Club Cutter Races on the 16th and 17th. The annual cutter races raise funds for Shriner’s Hospitals. The cutter races tend to be quite lively with a festive party like vibe. Local race fans look forward to this event each Winter, entrance is $15/person.

New to this year’s Winterfest is skijoring, which will be hosted by the Jackso Hole Shrine Club on the 23rd and 24th. The Skijoring event is one in which skiers are towed by riders on horseback down a course with jumps and/or gates. This Western past time provides for some rowdy spectating.

*The Cutter races and Skijoring events will be held in Melody Ranch on the South Park Loop*
