Wade McKoy is an a-list outdoor photographer/publisher/was-here-in-the-day-Jackson Hole-old-schooler that is in need of a local reality television series to host.
In the absence of such a show, he puts together great videos on his favorite things to do. Like the 5th Annual Targhee Fest:
The entertainment continues on Wade’s new blog.
Deep in the Jedhi Forest
Don’t let the name fool you. There’s nothing sweet and airy about this annual endurance mountain bike race.
The two-legged powerhouse known locally as Troy Barry recently took the overall title at The Cascade Cream Puff. Deemed “America’s Toughest 100 Mile Mountain Bike Race” the route gains an incredible 18000 feet in elevation over 107 miles of grueling singletrack in typical northwest weather conditions.
Troy finished the race in just 9:44:31 and was one of only three riders to crack the 10 hour mark.
A huge congratulations to Troy from his fans and friends at the ‘ghee.
After spending a few months of figuring out the who, how and why of Facebook, we have to say we’re sold. It is a great way to keep our guests and fans informed of the latest news and conditions and to hear what might be getting them excited or frustrated. It’s been particularly useful this summer in sharing updates on our mountain biking trail conditions and additions to our new skills park.
Today we reached 2000 fans, and to help keep the momentum going we’re kicking off our first Facebook Membership Drive! Here’s the deal:
If we make it to 2500 fans by Wednesday July 22, all Facebook fans who RSVP to our “FREE FACEBOOK FAN DAY” event will receive unlimited free access to the DC chairlift on Saturday, July 25. Invite your friends to join by clicking “suggest to friends” underneath our profile pic (click on “more” to see it). Find us here at: http://www.facebook.com/grandtarghee.
We will schedule the event on our Facebook page as we near the July 22 deadline.
Happy friending!
Grand Targhee Resort was a hotbed of activity this past weekend with $4 food and beverage deals, $4 chairlift rides, the 14th Annual WYDAHO MTB race and the 1st Annual Fred’s Hill Climb creating quite the scene on the main plaza.
Visitors from near and far gathered at the base area to soak in the sun and scenery - and ponder what would motivate someone to race up a mountain on a day, in many places, dedicated to celebrating one of the most cherished of American freedoms: the right to do nothing.
We’ve just started assembling the giant stage that will soon host these grammy nominees, this grammy nominee, these grammy award winners, and this up-and-coming legacy of american country music. They’ll be joined by a crew of talented musicians and bands who will all gather at the base of Targhee during the 5th Annual Targhee Music Fest.
Tickets go on sale at these local outlets next Tuesday, July 7:
Habitat: Purveyors of High-Altitude Provisions (Driggs)
Big Hole Music (Driggs)
Tobacco Row (Jackson Hole)
Tickets are currently available through Ticketweb.
