The Pinedale Winter Carnival In Wyoming That’s Straight Out Of A Hallmark Christmas Movie

Pinedale, Wyoming, is a town that's straight out of a Hallmark Movie. It's surrounded by alpine lakes and stunning cliffs, and walking around downtown feels like you're walking around in the past. Each year, they host the Pinedale Winter Carnival that brings all the best parts of playing in the snow to life. Check it out!

Pinedale is an underrated town at the foot of the Wind River Range, and its tagline is that you'll find "all the civilization you need" right here.

Their winter carnival is one of the biggest annual events and it's a great excuse to come visit!

If you're brave and good on your feet, try skijoring! You'll get pulled around on skis at top speed by local cowboys and their all-too-cooperative horses.

The riders and horses have as much fun as the boarders and skiers. This is the kind of sport that only gets to be enjoyed a few times a year, so take advantage!

The Cardboard Derby is the signature event of the Pinedale Winter Carnival.

This classic event is just as much fun for the crowd as it is for the teams that race down the hill in their handcrafted snow ships.

The themes are always so creative and comical! Will you stand on the sidelines and cheer them on, or join in on the fun?

If you would rather stay out of the cold and stay warm, enter the cornhole tournament!

Test your skills and take down the giants of this bag-tossing game under the heaters of the Rendezvous Meadows Club House. The tournament is held at the same time as the Skijor reception.

While you're in town, make some time to head out to White Pine Ski Area or rent a snowmobile and dash through the woods. Pinedale is paradise under a blanket of snow!

If you're looking for a fun time during the chilliest month of the year, make plans to attend the Pinedale Winter Carnival! It's held over President's Day Weekend, February 12-13, 2022. For more information and to register for the events, visit the website, right here.
