Each February, Pinedale puts on a Winter Carnival-a rowdy multi-day event on the (almost) backend of our long winter. Visitors and locals alike flock to the skijoring competition-a wily western experience you have to see to believe. Brave competitors put their engineering and art skills to the test for the always-chaotic Cardboard Classic sled race, and the new Snow King and Queen start their reign at the Snow Ball, where live music and award-winning craft brews abound.

The Big Fish Winter Derby has been a mainstay of the ice fishing circuit for many years. We are excited to again present this two day event which brings fishermen from surrounding counties and states. Cash prizes are awarded for the biggest fish each hour and each day as well as a youth category. You can come try your luck as a fish whisperer and see if you can bring in a big one!

“WANTED: Men and women wanted for hazardous journey. No wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. SAFE RETURN DOUBTFUL. Honour and recognition in event of success.” The Drift is the highest elevation winter ultramarathon in the United States. Racers (“drifters”) battle extreme elements and elevation to run, bike or ski the 13-, 28- or 100-mile course in the Green River valley, usually in a blizzard. Fun, right?

Experience the thrill of running the high desert of beautiful Pinedale, Wyoming. With a starting altitude of 7,285', you'll feel as though you are running among the stars during this 12-hour trail running relay. With a start time of midnight, the first runner for each team will take off, and complete one lap of the 4-mile loop before handing off to a teammate. The 4-person teams will continue the exchange rotation until noon Saturday. The goal is to complete as many laps in 12-hours as possible.
