ADULT FREESKIING COMP

2009-03-13T14:03:00.001-07:00

The adult freeskiing comp was held last weekend on Bobcat chute on Peaked. Competitors for Colorado, Montana and Canada were enjoying great snow conditions here at the ghee.

Sonya Lercher of Whistler CA was our women's winner and Bryce Newcomb from Ketchum, ID was the men's winner!

The comp was snowed out on Sunday, so the field hit the mountain for a day of powder skiing. Everyone left Targhee with plans on coming back to next years adult freeskiing comp.

Hopefully we can get the full wekend in next year and we'll get our finals off of pink slip chute of Peaked

Peaked MT -PINK SLIP CHUTE STRAIGHT OFF THE TOP!!!

The team Randonnee race was held yesterday at Grand Targhee Resort with 19 -2 person teams racing up and down the mountain. The race division course climb more than 4500' and the recreation course climbing 2500'. The race had a new course layout due to slides off the top of Peaked in the previous weeks.

Targhee Tune UP Nordic Race 12/13/08

2008-12-17T14:54:00.000-08:00

Targhee Tune Up Nordic Race Forges On…

It’s true. Nordic racers are truly the most dedicated and “hard core” skiers of all the disciplines. Despite epic winds and fresh powder on the track nearly 60 sixty skiers showed up to give it their all during one of the biggest storms so far this season. Even the classic track was virtually imperceptible despite having been groomed twice prior to the race! Never underestimate the skinny-ski-minded…

Racers from age 7 to 67 took advantage of the opportunity to “Tune Up” their early season Nordic legs during this first race of the season . Skiers chose between 10K, 5K, and 2.5K distances which turned out to be quite the challenge at over 8000 feet of elevation. As always racers who were new to Grand Targhee were amazed by the beauty of our track system. And they were even more amazed that while every other track in the region is suffering from lack of snow, we have had gobs of it!

After the race all the skiers recovered from the rough weather with a warm cup of soup and prizes that were donated by Peaked Sports, Grand Targhee and TVTAP. Good things come to those who persist (including a free Grand Targhee Nordic season pass, Patagonia track gear, free entries into the Teton Ridge Classic, and more!)

Hope you can join us for the Rick’s Basin Rally nordic race held on January 17th—we’ll try to shoot for a little less wind for that race! The Grand Targhee Rick’s Basin Rally is part of the Teton Valley Track Triad which also includes TVTAP’s Teton Ridge Classic and Peaked Sports’ Spud Chase. Race in all three events and you will automatically be entered into a drawing for Nordic ski equipment provided by Peaked Sports.
