Turpin Meadow Ranch opened near Moran, Wyo., in 2016 and was Jackson Hole’s first destination Nordic ski resort. Several years after opening, the ranch began grooming dedicated fat-biking trails.
After a day in the snow, it’s nice to take a breather at the bar for a cocktail or two while you warm up by the fireplace. While the ranch is casual, be prepared for gourmet meals. I never worry about what I’m eating at Turpin because I know we’ll always be well fed.

End your safari at the ranch, one of Wyoming’s best-kept secrets, where one can reflect on the past few days over a “prairie-to-plate” meal. Pan seared Idaho trout with smoked acorn squash purée is a dreamy combination.
Jackson’s elevation and proximity to the Tetons offers some excellent late-season runs at Snow King, which is in town. Tired of skiing? You should try fat biking, snowshoeing or Nordic skiing at the ranch.
When European explorers first sighted the treed valleys and rugged couloirs of Jackson, they called it “the hole” — their word for a land nestled between a ring of mountains. Today’s visitors still find the charms of this bygone era in the rustic cabins, boardwalks and antler-arches of the town square.
Spend the night in a renovated cabin or chalet and spend the day fly fishing, horseback riding, bird watching, climbing, hiking or watching wildlife during the summer season at the ranch. The main lodge is actually made from historic wood beams logged from the Old West.

Jackson Hole isn’t a mountain for novices. Thrill seekers love the advanced terrain. For those who want to try something other than downhill runs, give Nordic skiing or fat tire biking a shot at Turpin Meadow Ranch. While you’re there, take a break for lunch or a hot toddy at the lodge.
If you are considering taking on a trip alone, it is time to commit. Solo travel is the ultimate relaxation method and is delightfully self-indulgent. Traveling solo allows you to experience the world without the influence of a friend or partner’s tastes, prejudices or preferences.
Mountains are never so spectacular as when blanketed in white, and meals are never as satisfying as after a day of vigorous exercise in the cold.

Your stop in Yellowstone needs to include a stop at the ranch.
Trails at Turpin Meadow roll as they wind through pine forest and open meadows. There are rolls for every skill level. Because my five prior times cross-country skiing started with my edgeless skis slipping out from beneath me and my…
One night last winter, elbow-deep in warm, sudsy water and admiring my mountain view, the snow-spackled peaks pink in the setting sun, I decided it was time to take a vacation — in Jackson Hole.
An hour from Yellowstone and with serious views of the Tetons, the restored main lodge, eight cabins and two chalets are rustic yet refined. They’re open year-round Activities include horseback riding, fly fishing, snowmobiling and Nordic skiing.
Cross-county skiing terrifies me. I have classic skied. Three times. Each time, I was off my feet and landing hard on my coccyx. The last time I had skinny skis attached to my feet was seven years ago. Crumpled in a mess of ski poles and rubbing my tailbone, I swore never again to attempt this death sport. But then I heard about Turpin Meadows Ranch.
