JACKSON HOLE, WYO –It may not be foremost on your mind this morning considering the day (New Year’s) and the night last night (fill in the blank), but this weekend is a perfect time to get out and face the winter with some resolutions or revolutions.

JH Nordic Alliance (and fat bike expert friends) will be hosting its Annual Free event at Turpin Meadow Ranch for a day filled with winter activities, food, hot drinks, a raffle benefiting Friends of Bridger-Teton Forest.

Fat bike riding is becoming more and more popular every winter. (L. Rust)
