5th Annual Jackson Hole Mountain Festival

The 5th Annual Jackson Hole Mountain Festival is a weekend of celebrations, marking the end of winter and the beginning of spring in the Tetons.

The weekend begins March 27th with a free concert by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. 

The Marmot Coombs Classic event takes place March 28th. This is a celebratory ski event in the memory of Doug Coombs, a legendary alipine skier from Jackson Hole who helped pioneer extreme skiing, and died trying to rescue a friend. Free registration is from 8:30am to 1pm at the bottom of the mountain, between the train and the gondola. The event runs from 9:30am to 1:30pm, and each participant receives one raffle ticket for every lap completed. There will be a party from 3pm to 5pm outside Nick Wilson's Cowboy Cafe.

Raffle prizes include:

- Coombs Sidecountry Collection outfit (jacket and pants)

- 2010 Backcountry 30 and Sidecountry 20 ski packs (both inspired by designs from Doug)

- Randonnee Ski Gloves

- Rival Helmets

- Carbon Lockjaw poles

- K2 Coombacks with skins
