The Jackson Hole Ski & Snowboard Club has been hosting one of the few (if not the last!) open, non-sanctioned community downhill races since 1982.

The JH Downhill hosts skiers and snowboarders ages 12 and up, as well as current and former World Cup racers.There are five divisions of Community Races: Pro, Amateur, Junior, Snowboard, Telemark, and “Fat & Baggy,” where a racer’s clothes must flap in the wind and their skis must be at least 86mm underfoot. Participants can compete in up to three races, the Pro race (which takes place on Sunday) and up to two of the other four divisions (which take place on Saturday). The Downhill culminates on Sunday with the Pro Race, which includes a high-stakes team component.  All proceeds from the Downhill support JHSC’s exceptional programming and provide opportunities for over 500 local student-athletes.
