If you’re lucky enough to be joining us here in Jackson Hole over the holidays, we’ve got great news for you! Our Holiday Round-Up is back and better than ever with new activities and celebrations. Highlights include the always popular ‘Cats and Dogs’ night, Santa dropping in from the Tram on Christmas Eve and skiing on Christmas day, and an afternoon of ice skating. Wait, ice skating? Find more information about the Holiday Round-Up on the flyer below.

Maybe you haven’t heard the news yet, but we are proud to announce that the Teton Village Association along with Jackson Hole Mountain Resort have brought back the ‘Village Rink on the Commons’ this winter. Grab your skates and don’t miss out on a little apres skating action over the holidays! Santa will be skating on December 23 & 24 from 3-4 PM. If you have your own skates, bring them and enjoy the rink for free. If you need rental skates, we’ll be offering those at the warming hut with snacks and warm drinks. The rink will be open from 3-9 PM daily beginning in mid-December and will be running through mid-March. Cue the Christmas music folks, it’s time for the holidays!

Jackson will once again be the final destination for the International Rocky Mountain Stage Stop Sled Dog Race in February after Evanston said they no longer wanted to host it.

During the approval process with the Forest Service, Bridger-Teton Jackson District Ranger Dale Deiter noted to the council the proposed change in venue for the race wrap-up, which has taken place at Bear River Lodge in Evanston for the past few years. The BTNF issued a five-year permit for the race just last year.

In an email to the town, Deiter asked the council if they had any reservations about moving the last stage to Jackson Hole (where the race also begins). Deiter said he was proposing the Lower Slide Lake area Gros Ventre. The location change also required a slight tweaking of the race schedule.

Town leaders said they were fine with the change and delighted to have the race once again finish up in Jackson Hole on Saturday, February 3, 2018.
