Gaper Day

Posted on: March 28th, 2020 by thcAdmin No Comments

April 1st Every Year

A mountain tradition. April Fool’s Day is a traditional Spring right of passage for those who live in mountain towns. The day can provide large amounts of entertainment as locals do their best to poke a little fun at the tourists with which they have shared the slopes with throughout the season.

A “gaper” is a slang term for “out of towner/beginner” in the Rocky Mountain region. The party is sure to be on and off of the slope. Get costumed up and enjoy this ski town celebration. Start riding the Thunder Chair at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort around noon to take in the action.

Mind your P’s and Q’s. Do not get so reckless that the local law enforcement officers find you in their sights. Utilize public transportation and be safe.

Wednesday Evenings

The Jackson Hole People’s Market occurs on Wednesday evenings from 4pm to 7pm.  Running from May 29 thru September 18, 2019. The market occurs at the Phil Baux Park at the base of Snow King Mountain. The growth of the market has been enjoyable and a pleasure to watch. The market’s popularity simply reinforces the fact that Americans are finally getting back in touch with local produce.

The shift in awareness of healthy, locally produced produce and its positive effect on local economies is great to see. The new location at the base of Snow King allows great access for East Jacksonites. It is also located close to the rodeo grounds for those looking for a pre-rodeo fix.

There is generally some music and the Phil Baux Park has a giant jungle gym, 2 large bouldering features, and a few covered picnic areas right at the base of Snow King Mountain. There is a very relaxed mid-week atmosphere that the market seems to exude.

Things to do in Jackson Hole

Posted on: September 25th, 2017 by thcAdmin No Comments

Jackson Hole and the surrounding area offer unlimited possibilities. No matter what the time of year is you can always get out and experience something wonderful.

Late Spring and Fall do present some challenges since many vendors are closed and access to the National Parks is limited. You can find something to occupy your time. Local galleries provide a wide array of art. Wildlife is always out there, so sign up for a tour or ask some locals where to look and go on your own.

The Summer months in Jackson provide the widest array of activities, and the largest crowds. Planning items in advance can help make things a lot smoother. Most activities are available at multiple times per day.

Hot air ballooning only goes at the crack of dawn, it is well worth getting out of bed for this one! If aerial adventure is your game, then paragliding might be just what the doctor ordered.

Whitewater and Scenic rafting are available in multiple locations and go at all hours of the day.

Horseback riding is a popular activity here in the Jackson Hole area. Tours depart at all times of day. Most folks opt for a two or four hour ride. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and multi-day trips as well.

During the later Summer months and into the Fall, Jackson becomes a destination for fly fishing. This is a great way to get out on the water and stalk the native cutthroat trout.

If you are looking to get out on a bicycle, there is an extensive trail system that runs throughout the valley. A number of single track trails and dirt roads are available for mountain biking. We are blessed with a paved bicycle trail encompasses nearly the entire valley, it will even get you up into Grand Teton National Park.

If you have children, the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Teton Village, has a number of activities. This includes a ropes course, the aerial tram, lift served mountain biking, a climbing wall, bungee trampoline, 18-hole disc golf course. You can additionally take horseback tours, do a chuckwagon dinner, or take the gondola up to mid-mountain and opt for happy hour or dinner at Couloir restaurant. Snow King Mountain has a Scenic Chairlift, Bungee Trampoline, Alpine Slide and Alpine Coaster, as well as a TreeTop Adventure Course to keep you busy.

Wildlife Tours will get you familiarized with this vast ecosystem. An expert guide will lead on an educational tour, you can take it all in since your not behind the wheel. Guides are available for Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks as well as other areas. These tours are highly suggested for photographer among us.

July 4th 2015 will be a fun filled day in Jackson Hole, actually the 3rd & 4th look pretty good. There is a lot to keep you busy from sun up to sun down. Be prepared for the crowds. There tends to be more vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic than any other day in the valley. It is good to find a nice parking spot, try the public parking garage located on Millward, then set out by foot or by bike. There will be some congestion getting out of and around town after the fireworks display.

11th Annual Crawfish Boil

The Jackson Hole Crawfish Boil is a celebration of Louisiana tradition in the heart of the Tetons. Great music, great food, and even better people. This newer “Jackson Hole Tradition” is a favorite for many locals, especially our Southern born. There will be live music starting at 5:30pm, boiled crawfish with corn & potatoes, the best red beans-n-rice in the West provided by Sweetwater Restaurant. There will be yard games galore! Bring your lawn chairs, picnic blankets, and get ready to have one of the best days of the Summer with us! Celebrate Father’s Day in style!

I look forward to this day each year, the food is delicious and the music line-up tends to be quite good. The original version started out being hosted at Cutty’s Bar and Grill, located across from Alberstons. After a number of years the Boil outgrew its digs and had to relocate to the Snow King Ballpark. The event is co-hosted with JacksonHoleLive!

Apres Skitastrophe???

Posted on: March 14th, 2016 by thcAdmin

Teton Village has grown quite significantly over the years, the Apres ski scene however, has left much to be desired. I have even heard term “apres-don’t”. On the weekends the lack of seating or even standing room, at times, is overwhelming enough to drive many locals out of the village and back home. I would imagine that quite a few visitors have just headed to the local liquor store, then retreated to their rooms or the hotel/condo’s pool and hot tub. There is some great food and fun to be had, you just need to get off of the hill by 2:30-3pm to score a good seat at your desired location. Many people can often be seen trolling the village looking for a place to sit and unwind after 4pm.

Weekdays during non-holiday times generally leaves folks with the ability to go where they desire. You may sometimes find that some places are virtual ghost towns during off peak periods. It is certainly an odd mix in the Village.

The Bodega can be a good call. Providing a laid back environment, with some delicious brats. There is a little space indoors, more tables and seating are available just outside. There is some great Southern exposure so you can soak in some afternoon rays.

Teton Thai is a little slice of Thai heaven. The food is amazing! Off of the beaten path a bit, they are located by the Ranch Lot, a shuttle goes back and forth most hours if you do not feel like making the walk.

King Sushi is my favorite “get out of Dodge” move. Jump on the bus or into your car and head straight to town. Get a nice deal on some drinks and sushi at one of the best places in town. If you get off of the hill before 4pm, grab a “tall boy” and soak up some rays along the Village Commons then head to town a little after 4pm. They are located just off of the town square.

The Mangy Moose Saloon is the traditional hotspot. Being written up in a number of ski magazines as the place to be. The Moose isn’t quite as wild as it used to be, but it is certainly a place to mix with the locals and “out of towners.”  There is often live music and a great take to take in some afternoon sun.

The Spur located in Teton Mountain Lodge is a local go to. The Spur gets going pretty good on the weekends. They have a great drink selection, yummy food and an inviting atmosphere.

Osteria inside of Hotel Terra can be a great place to slip into. Often overlooked, they have a quaint bar with decent

Dick’s Ditch Banked Slalom

Posted on: February 27th, 2016 by thcAdmin No Comments

March 5th-7th

The Dick’s Ditch Banked Slalom is an exhilerating twist on the traditional slalom. Course inspection begins on Friday. The format for the race weekend will hold qualifiers on Saturday and “winner-takes-all” on Sunday.

Dick’s Ditch Classic utilizes a natural ditch which winds its way down most of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. The race event utilizes the ravine which runs through the middle portion of the mountain. “This “big mountain ditch” has huge banked walls with steep pitches and opportunities for plenty of air. The course’s natural terrain is “enhanced” with some manmade features providing an amazing venue for this ski and snowboard race. The event format, as the name implies, is that of a banked slalom. This race course changes a bit each year and is like nothing you’ve seen before.

dicks ditch banked slalom

 

This is a wild event which is sure to feature a few spills and some wild riding. Rollers, gaps, bumps and jumps are just a few of the sculpted features that keep racers on edge. The challenging course pushes racers physically and mentally.

Competition heats up over the weekend as racers become familiar with the course and conditions. There is prize money and awards up for grabs. This event attracts many of the area’s best all-around riders. Skiers and boarders look forward to this event each year as competition continually heats up.

As the event has matured over the years the course has become more exciting and refined. Doing some laps off of the Marmot Chair can provide some good viewing opportunities from the chair and along the course which snakes down the edge of Amphitheater. Be sure to take in some of the action over the weekend if you are out riding JHMR over the weekend.

Duckie Tours

Posted on: July 15th, 2015 by thcAdmin No Comments

Rubber Duckies, are inflatable kayaks designed for aquatic exploration. This a unique and exciting way of river running is safe and fun for the whole family. Inflatable Kayaking is far more thrilling than traditional white-water rafting and have no problem handling turbulent water.

duckie

These boats are extremely maneuverable and quite resilient. One of the most exciting ways to ride the river. The boat rides low in the water making smaller waves during the late summer much more fun. No previous river experience is necessary. Experienced instructors will familiarize you with equipment. After providing a brief river safety course and paddling instruction your adventure begins. You will find these watercraft amazingly simple to control. The section of the Snake River that is run, provides class III rapids. All equipment and transportation is included.

Myself and members of my family have enjoyed taking the Duckies down the Snake. Guided trips are offered by Rendevous River Sports.

The Gallatin River ZipLine is located between Bozeman and Big Sky, Montana, right off highway 191, just over an hour drive North from West Yellowstone. The dramatic scenery includes towering limestone cliffs, pine forest and a rushing river. This is the area where the movie A River Runs Through It was filmed. On these tours, you start by ascending sky bridges to a tree platform 55ft in the air! Both tours have two Zips across the Gallatin River! The Super Zip adds to the experience with more adventure elements. Test your balance on our swaying wooden swings or try our optional cargo net climb.

Yellowstone Ranch ZipLine is located on the historic Stermitz Ranch in the mountains bordering Yellowstone Park, just outside of Gardiner, MT. The tour will take you up a mountainside and then soaring back down. Gaze at the gorgeous pristine vistas, listen to the gurgling mountain stream and watch for wildlife on this remote and scenic property. To add to the thrills, go for the Grande Tour. Two of these zips are a breathtaking 1200+ft and take you flying ridge to ridge, 200ft above Cinnabar Creek! The trips meet in Gardiner and we shuttle you to and from the zip line course.

I have been receiving very positive reviews from guests touring the area. If you are in Gardiner or West Yellowstone take a sometime to include Zip Yellowstone into your vacation.
