LRMB Local Spotlight

The sudden return of snow and slick roads - while I'm working and can't go ski - continues. Stay tuned for your latest edition of Little Blue Skis after I hit the slopes this weekend. In the meantime, I thought that since I've been so up on the League of American Bicyclists and such, it would be civic-minded of me to point out some cool stuff currently gracing the websites of some of the pillars of skiing and biking business here in Jackson Hole.

Brought to you by poor sad Little Red watching the snow.

~ Jackson Hole people: making my athletic accomplishments seem inferior since forever. Check out this post from Skinny Skis about a blind cross country ski racer. A blind senior citizen cross country ski racer. Putting this in perspective, I don't even know how to cross country ski.

~Getting in a little planning for when the weather does turn around with Hoback Sports' riding guides. They have them for
trail rides and road rides.

~If you're into the whole fat bike thing, Fitzgerald's Bicycles, which moved from Jackson to Victor last year, has a pretty cool guide for that scene.

~ After a winter hiatus, Hoff's Bikesmith is open Mon. - Fri. 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Side note - I love that they're open till 6, because I can get bike needs managed without skipping work. Go Hoff's!

~If you didn't believe me about the tooootal hipster vibe going at the Hub, check out this post for visual proof after the guys there made a trip to a handmade bike event.

~Also, fun fact - the inner loop of Teton Park Road in Grand Teton National Park is closed to motor vehicles until April 30. It is, however, open to cyclists and pedestrians. If the snow doesn't vamoose in time for Little Red, I may actually take a fat bike up there - assuming rental prices aren't too dear.

Happy Thursday, LRMB-ers!
