For more information on the Ski Clinic, see the next entry. In the late 1970s locals began hosting a ski clinic that would attract cross-country skiers to their winter wonderland. The first year only a handful of people came. These days, though, the 160 slots in the Thanksgiving-week clinic are filled, with a long waiting list. The clinic includes several multi-day workshops and is tailored to meet individual needs.
Participants can ski the snow-covered streets from their hotels right to the trails.
The clinic ends with a couple of races. Entry fees differ depending on the length of the workshop. December Community Visual Arts Association Christmas Bazaar Snow King Center, Snow King Ave., Jackson, Wyo. On the first Saturday of December, usually the day the ski lifts at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort open, locals have a tough decision to make. Admission is a dollar.
