It's true that the trails winding out of and around the town of Jackson are widely known to mountain bikers nation-wide. However, Teton Pass boasts some of the most epic, and less recognized cross-country and downhill mountain biking around. If you haven't ridden the roller-coaster ride of a trail down Black's Canyon, tested the newly constructed cross-country Arrow Trail or (for the really, really, really brave and highly advanced riders out there) launched yourself and your downhill bike down Jimmy's Mom, you're missing out on a great aspect of Jackson Hole biking. Whether you're a long-time hucker or a newbie looking to test the waters on the pass trails this summer, we encourage you to head out to Wilson on Saturday, June 6th for the annual Teton Freedom Riders' Volunteer Dig Day. Hosted by the great folks at Wilson Backcountry Sports, Pica's West and the Tram Bar, this is a great opportunity to help maintain the trail system many will be riding all season long.

Volunteers will meet at Trail Creek Trailhead at the base of Old Pass Road at 10am (dig 'till dark). From there, they will be directed and shuttled to their respective digs throughout the day. Per the Teton Freedom Riders' announcement, volunteers are encouraged to bring extra food, water and beer. Some food will be provided by Pica's West and the Tram Bar and Wilson Backcountry Sports will be hosting a raffle. Bring work gloves; the hearty folks of Teton Freedom Riders dig rain or shine!
