In fact, the snow and good humor is so plentiful that Driggs now celebrates this time of year with the Teton Valley Great Snow Fest, taking place the weekend of January 18 through 21. The festival brings joy and excitement to the hundreds of visitors that come into the valley for this fun winter weekend!
Activities at the Teton Valley Snow Fest
For 2013, expect to see SnowScapes - a week of snow sculpting in the Driggs City Center, an ice sculpting demonstration, multi-day skijoring (a winter sport where a person on skis is pulled by a horse, a dog/dogs or a motor vehicle) and snowcross competitions (is a racing sport involving specialized high performance snowmobiles on natural or artificially-made tracks consisting of tight turns, banked corners, steep jumps and obstacles), a snow bike race, a mini hockey tournament, luge, snow bike, snow plane and snow kite demonstrations, and the infamous Snow Ball!
