Racer Etiquette

To make sure that everyone has a positive experience, please remember:

Happy Jack trails, including the race courses, are open to the public throughout the event. Please be respectful of other trail users, let them know you are passing and give them plenty of space.
This is a community recreational event, open to all abilities and ages. No one here is racing for fame and glory. It is a fun and low-key event!
Slower skiers stay to the right, faster skiers pass on the left. Let other skiers know you are approaching and leave plenty of space to pass.
Generally be respectful of your fellow participants... and have FUN!

Parking

Parking can be a challenge at Tie City Trailhead. Plan extra time to find a spot and
try to carpool.

The gate to FS 703 (Pilot Hill Rd) across the highway is CLOSED for the season.
*It is illegal to park in the highway right-of-way

If you do not have an annual Medicine Bow Forest Service parking pass, there is a $5 day-use FS fee to park at the Trailhead. This can be paid at the kiosk station with cash or card.
