JACKSON, Wyo. — The PistenBully is out of hibernation!

The Teton County/Jackson Parks and Recreation Department (Parks and Rec) will implement its normal seasonal grooming schedule this Tuesday, Dec. 28, 2021.

“We will begin our regular grooming schedule on Tuesday using the PistenBully and possibly the snowmobile depending on the snow depths at the trails south of town,” Parks and Rec announced via Twitter.

With the recent snowfall, snow depths around the valley and drainages are just sufficient enough to utilize the Department’s PistenBully PB100. Staff currently grooms Tuesday through Saturday with the assistance of Bushong Property Services on Mondays up Cache Creek to Noker Draw.

Seasonal grooming occurs generally from Dec. 15 to March 15 each year. The 2021/22 Grooming Schedule is as follows. 

If changes are made they will be noted on the grooming report as soon as possible. Grooming will be canceled in the upper section of Cache Creek and all of Game Creek if low elevation avalanche danger is above moderate according to the Bridger Teton Avalanche Center forecast.
