TETON VILLAGE, Wyo. —  The 23rd annual Dick’s Ditch Classic took place over the weekend where skiers and riders competed in their respective divisions for a spot on the podium.

The slalom competition which spans across a two-day period, runs on the man-made and natural terrain in Dick’s Ditch, from Nez Perce Traverse down to the “Marlboro” area to finish. Conditions during the event were both giving and challenging. According to competitors, an inch of fresh snow on Sunday greatly improved the course from the day before.

Dick’s Ditch Classic is a particularly special event at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR) due to its deep ties to the mountain’s history as well as its representation of the local community.

Additionally, the event gives way for Jackson locals to highlight their competitive spirit on the mountain.

“A big shoutout to the events team for organizing another successful Dicks Ditch, the park crew for building a fantastic course, and all of the competitors/fans for making a great weekend,” said the resort.

She's a lover of alliteration, easy-to-follow recipes and board games when everyone knows the rules. Her favorite aspect about living in the Tetons is the collective admiration that Wyomingites share for the land and the life that it sustains.
