Grand Targhee Colter Cup
Targhee DH Series Race #2
Ever wanted to let it rip from the summit of Fred’s Mountain at Grand Targhee, down Mill Creek, all the way into Teton Canyon? Saturday, July 19th, 2025 is your chance to take plunge, score points in the 2025 Targhee Summer DH Race Series and potentially take the crown!
The 2nd Annual Colter Cup is Targhee’s premier downhill race and the longest downhill race in the Tetons. With 3900’ vertical feet of descent that carries you from the top of Grand Targhee to the bottom of Teton Canyon, this is the only race that leaves the boundaries of the resort and drops you from 10,000’ all the way to Teton Valley.
A time-trial format will have you racing against the clock but choose your bike wisely as there are a couple of short, punchy climbs on the course!

U15: Riders 15 or under of any ability level
Amateur: I've never really raced my bike before. I have pretty good handling skills and stamina. I'm confident I can make it through the course, even at a more dialed back pace.
Expert: I've raced and am confident in my mountain bike skills in technical terrain. I am racing to be competitive and want to challenge myself and others.
Open/Pro: I race often and race to compete and win at a high level (professionally in some cases).
Master: I would prefer to compete against those in my age category, regardless of skill level or experience.
Adaptive: I require an adaptive mountain bike to ride at Targhee. NOTE: All adaptive riders are required to have a support rider ride with them. No exceptions.
Note that this course is rated black diamond and blue square. There are a number of technical features along the way, none of which require both tires to leave the ground.
