Pinedale hosts Alpine Ski Meet at White Pine (posted 2/23/2026)
Coach Jeff Wohl
Pinedale Wranglers’ Alpine Ski Team sends a huge thanks to White Pine Ski Resort, Sublette County Ski and Snowboard Association, and all the volunteers who came out to help with the Pinedale home meet this past Friday and Saturday, February 20 & 21, 2026.
The Pinedale Wranglers Alpine Race Team hosted two giant slalom races at White Pine with beautiful weather and good skiing by many athletes. Competitors traversed a course that goes from nearly the top of the mountain to the bottom on the Wind River ski run, reaching speeds of over 35 miles an hour with 37 dramatic big sweeping turns. The combined times for both runs were just over two minutes.
The varsity men finished the meet a close runner-up behind Jackson. The varsity women, while having some really excellent skiing, did not all finish and ended up coming in third.
Dune McCartney had an excellent weekend, finishing second both days. Roxanne Melinkovich got a career best in GS finishing both races fifth and sixth.
Coach Wohl said, "I am really happy how everyone is skiing. We’ve been battling illness throughout the season. I can’t wait till we have a race where everyone is healthy when we can get everyone down the hill without any DNF’s. Both the men and women are real contenders."
The ski team now will have their first week without competition in over a month. They’ll take the beginning of the week to rest and get healthy, and then spend two days training before the team gets ready to head to the State Championship in Jackson the first week of March. We encourage the Pinedale community to come ski at Snow King and support these fine athletes March 6th and 7th.
From there, many Pinedale athletes will qualify to represent Team Wyoming mid-March in Loveland, Colorado at the Western US High School Championships, where they will get to meet and compete against the best high school skiers in the West.

MMM Spring Thaw Party & Annual Meeting March 5 (posted 2/21/2026)
The Sublette County Historical Society and Museum of the
Mountain Man invite members and the public to their annual
Spring Thaw Party and Annual Meeting on Thursday, March 5,
2026 at the Museum in Pinedale, Wyoming.
Social hour starts at 6:00 pm with light food and
refreshments. There will be a short business meeting to
elect new board members and this year’s officers. After the
business meeting, the evening’s program will start around
7:00 pm.
Special guest speaker will be archaeologist Cody Newton with
the program "Program: Fort Antonio: Investigations at an
1830s Apsáalooke Trading Post on the Powder River, Wyoming."
Fort Antonio, now commonly known as the Portuguese Houses,
was a stockaded trading post built under the direction of
Antonio Montero, while employed by Benjamin Bonneville, in
1834 to trade with the Apsáalooke, or Crow. Montero operated
the post intermittently until 1839–40. Beginning in the
spring of 2023, avocationalists undertook a systematic metal
detector survey of the post location. The resultant metal
detector survey resulted in the recovery of over 800
artifacts.
Cody Newton is an archaeologist with over 20 years working
in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains. He holds a Ph.D. in
Anthropology from the University of Colorado – Boulder and
currently works at an environmental consulting firm in
Sheridan. Aside from the Fur Trade Era, Dr. Newton's
research interests include Paleoindian studies, bison
evolution, bison-based subsistence, early European
exploration, the historic Plains Indian Wars, and historic
Euro-American settlement.

SAFV Task Force announces new partnership to strengthen survivor support services (posted 2/21/2026)
Pinedale, WY — The Sublette County Sexual Assault & Family Violence (SAFV) Task Force is entering a new partnership designed to strengthen services for survivors in our community and ensure the organization stays strong for years to come.
Through this partnership, Community Safety Network (CSN) in Teton County will provide administrative support for responsibilities such as financial management, grant administration, and compliance. The Sublette County SAFV Task Force will continue providing all direct services locally. This new approach focuses on long-term sustainability and enhances administrative capacity for the organization. It also strengthens support for advocates, all while ensuring services remain locally based and responsive to the unique needs of Sublette County.
The partnership reflects a shared commitment among local leadership and statewide partners to build a durable foundation for survivor services in Sublette County. It is designed to reduce administrative burdens so local staff can focus on supporting those in need.
"This partnership allows us to stabilize and strengthen services while keeping them rooted in Sublette County," said Kay Mahaffey, SAFV Task Force Board Chair. "Our priority has always been survivors, and this model ensures that services are available and responsive to our community."
Under the new structure:
• The Sublette County SAFV Task Force will continue operating locally.
• SAFV advocates will remain focused on serving Sublette County survivors.
• CSN will provide administrative infrastructure, grant management support, compliance oversight, and support systems for advocates.
• Community partnerships with law enforcement, healthcare, and local agencies will remain intact.
This type of administrative partnership is becoming more common among rural nonprofits, allowing small organizations to improve stability, increase accountability, and reduce employee burnout while maintaining their local identity.
This partnership does not merge programs or blend services. Both Sublette County SAFV Task Force and CSN will remain distinct, community-based entities serving survivors in their respective counties.
• Sublette County survivors will continue receiving services locally through the SAFV Task Force.
• Teton County survivors will continue receiving services through Community Safety Network.
• Local donations stay local — funds donated to Sublette County SAFV will always support services in Sublette County.
The same is true for CSN/Teton County.
The Sublette County SAFV Task Force and Community Safety Network are committed to a smooth and transparent transition in the months ahead. Both organizations will continue working closely with community partners and supporters to ensure services for survivors will continue without interruption, including crisis response, advocacy, prevention education, and coordinated community support.
About Community Safety Network
Community Safety Network provides shelter, advocacy, prevention education, and support services for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking in Teton County, Wyoming. CSN works to ensure survivor safety, promote healthy relationships, and prevent violence through direct services and community engagement.
About the Sublette County Sexual Assault & Family Violence Task Force
The Sublette County Sexual Assault & Family Violence Task Force provides confidential advocacy, crisis response, and prevention education for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in Sublette County. The Task Force works with local partners to support survivor safety and strengthen community awareness and response.

Dune McCartney skied to 5th in the SL, and a 3rd in the Giant Slalom (GS), Grant Carter got 8th in GS, Ellie Tolson got a 3rd in women's varsity SL and Roxy Melinkovich got 7th. The varsity men took second at the meet even with a number of falls; Varsity Women took 3rd.

"This Pinedale team has a lot of depth, skill, and heart," Coach Wohl said. "If we can get all our skiers down with clean runs we can beat any team in the state.

Ask Flora–Winter 2026 (posted 1/27/2026)
Sage & Snow Garden Club
Dear Flora,
We’ve accumulated a lot of wood ash over the winter. Can we add it to our garden soil or compost? I’ve heard conflicting advice on this.
Signed–Woody
Dear Woody,
I would caution you on using wood ash in your garden or compost pile. You would really need to have your soil tested to see if the pH is below 6.0 (meaning soil is moderately acidic). If your soil is acidic, adding wood ash can increase soil fertility by increasing the availability of phosphorus, calcium, and potassium, along with some micronutrients. Most Wyoming soils are naturally alkaline, so adding ash can quickly raise pH too high, harming plants. Most vegetables prefer a pH around 6.0–7.0 (The Old Farmer’s Almanac has a list of ideal soil pH levels for growing different types of plants–get the latest copy from the Big Piney Library or https://www.almanac.com/plant-ph). Ideal pH allows plants to absorb nutrients from the soil to produce healthy plants with better production. Moderation is the key–you can add small amounts of wood ash to your compost pile or into garden soil in the winter or early spring into moist soil. At most, a five gallon pail of ash can be spread over 1,000 square feet per year, but always check the pH of your soil first. You don’t want to risk ruining the soil conditions in your garden. Soil testing information can be obtained from Colorado State University Soil, Water, and Plant Testing Laboratory. Go to their website for pricing and instructions on how to submit soil samples for testing–
https://agsci.colostate.edu/soiltestinglab/soil-water-plant-testing-laboratory/soil-sampling/
------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Flora,
I recently moved to Sublette County and am hoping to start a garden here in the spring. Do you have any special considerations for growing plants in Sublette County that you can share with me?
Sincerely—Hope For Spring
Dear Hope,
There are many considerations for growing in a short season like we have here in Sublette County. Here are just a few of the most important:
- Start small and focus on growing veggies that really do well in a cool climate–try spinach, lettuce, potatoes, carrots, broccoli, peas, radishes, beets, onions, garlic. We generally have 50-75 frost-free days in the summer for growing. Look for varieties that mature quickly and don’t mind a bit of frost.
- Warm up that soil by using raised beds, row covers, or other types of season extenders. Raising the soil allows the sun to warm the growing area more quickly, which means your roots will be warmer and allow the plant to grow more easily. Row covers can heat the soil and protect your plants from the wind.
- Don’t underestimate the wildlife that would like to enjoy your harvest! Deer, moose, rabbits, voles, gophers–can all wreck havoc on your garden. Fencing, raised beds with hardware cloth underneath & protective hoops over the top, lick tubs or planter gardens are all ways to deter unwanted guests.
- Learn about gardening from other gardeners here by joining the Sage and Snow Garden Club. Members are generous in sharing information, answering questions, and always striving to improve their knowledge about growing in our climate.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dear Flora,
I would love to learn more about gardening in Sublette County. Does the garden club have any upcoming activities?
Ever Grateful,
Sage Snow
Dear Sage,
You are in luck! "Gardening Goes Underground" is an upcoming class taught by Arlinda McLaughlin, Master Gardener, on Saturday, March 7th from 9AM–12Noon at Sublette BOCES. Learn all about growing root vegetables in Sublette County.
