Course & Distance
5, 14, and 28 km courses will be set on the private Teton Ridge Ranch acreage. The Ranch grooms 30 kms of nordic trails with their Pisten Bully each winter. The terrain for classic skiing is some of the best in the Western US. The race course will be on rolling terrain through meadows, Lodgepole and Aspen forests, with views of the valley floor and the Grand Tetons. Despite climbing 900' for the 14 km loop the entire course will be skiable in the track.
There will be two feed stations (water and Heed sports drink) – one at 5 km and one at 11 km.

Teton
Ridge Ranch
The Teton Ridge Ranch closed to the public at the end of the ski season in 2009. They are no longer offering lodging or skiing to the public. However, they have granted us a one a day use to hold the race on their beautiful trails. We are optimistic that this will grow into a long term relationship of having the TRC at their venue each year.
