Jackson Hole / Snow King Bike Park slated for Spring 2011!

Thanks to the JH Trails project spearheaded by Friend’s of Pathways and funded by a Wyoming Business Council Grant, the Snow King Bike Park project is full steam ahead!

Snow King Resort and Friend’s of Pathways have been working with master bike park designer Jay Hoots of Hoots Inc to maximize the land available. After finalizing designs this winter, Jay plans on two weeks of construction this Spring. The Snow King Bike Park should be live and ready to go by June if all goes according to plan. Stay tuned to learn more about volunteer opportunities that will be key to making these images a reality!

Last ‘Cross Report of the Season

USGP of Cyclocross, Portland, OR - Dec 4, 2010
Submitted by Dave Bergart

Well with the snowpocalipse upon us I did what every jacksonite does, I went skiing biking. (head scratching noise). For months I’ve been dreaming of checking out the hupla of a US Grand Prix Cross Race. I convinced Amanda Riley Carey to let me tag along as co-pilot and we pointed it west to the axis mundi of cyclocross racing. Portland. (more…)

The Crust Cruising Season is here!

WE ALSO RENT SNOWBIKES $39/Day $60/Weekend

If you’re scratching your head when you see a rider with grin on their face taking a fat-tired bicycle towards the trailheads this time of year, you are missing out! But don’t worry, Fitzgerald’s has everything you need to know to join the fun. Snowbiking is a rapidly growing sport in Jackson Hole! From Snowy singletrack, groomed trails, and frozen lakes - these bikes have found their favorite home here in the Tetons. Check out these two fantastic snow bikes that can help you keep your legs spinning all winter long!

SALSA MUKLUK

Salsa graced the biking world with this ultra-light uber-stable snow bike with the rider in mind! A lower bottom bracket, taller headtube and low standover height help you stay more stable and makes mounting and dismounting a breeze. The double-butted aluminum frame keeps it light and floating on top of the snow!

SURLY PUGLSEY

Tried and true, this bike was the first snow bike to hit the market, and the response was huge! Built with ChroMoly steel, she boasts a double-butted triangle with horizontal drop-outs with a derailleur hanger and disc brake mounts. If you didn’t know, our very own Jay Petervery has sent the Pugsley into a first place finish on the 350 miles Iditarod Invitational in Alaska!

Both bikes are sold as a frameset or completely built up. Why waste any more time, the trails are ready and the Togwotee Winter Classic is just around the corner!

Wanted: Gifts for ‘Toys for Tots’

WE NEED YOU to help us help less fortunate children in our community. Fitzgerald’s is teaming with Rocky Mountain Bank to help the TOYS FOR TOTS program this winter! Unwrapped gifts can be dropped of this holiday season at Fitzgerald’s.
