Warm temperatures over the past two weeks have melted much of the snowpack from the valley floor, forcing organizers of the annual Pole Pedal Paddle race to cancel the Nordic ski leg in favor of a longer run.
There is not enough snow to use the Nordic track at Shooting Star, said Jackson Hole Ski and Snowboard Club Director Ali Sehnert.

After missing all of last season due to injury, Cooper Cornelius is still rounding back into form. But the Glenwood Springs ski racer put down some of his best runs of the season Wednesday, finishing just off the podium in the men’s combined at the U.S. Alpine Championships at Aspen Highlands.
“I feel great about today. It’s my best result so far in this series. I know I’m skiing well,” Cornelius told The Aspen Times. “It’s just a lack of consistency sometimes from top to bottom. I honestly thought my better run of the day was going to be in super-G, just because that’s been a stronger event all year for me. But it was a really nice surprise to throw down a slalom run and move up a few places.”
