The Jackson Hole Snow Devils snowmobile club was established in 1964 with approximately 14 members.  Over the next 10 years club activities included club rides, oval races at the fairgrounds, and cross country races up Mosquito Creek here in Jackson Hole. 

About 20 members of the Jackson Hole Snow Devils started a small hill climb in 1975 as an end of the year party. What started as a few local boys high marking a ski slope has grown into the World Championship Snowmobile Hill Climb. There is only one racer that has raced in every hill climb since it's inception and he is still a current member of the Jackson Hole Snow Devils. That racer is Rick Budge and if you can find him on the mountain he probably has some good stories to tell!

The four day event now draws over 10,000 fans and more than 300 snowmobile hill climb racers from all over the US and Canada to the valley of Jackson Hole.  Nearly 400 club members (all volunteer) converge on Snow King Mountain to stage one of the largest non-profit charity snowmobile events in the United States.

Over the past 6 years we have donated $100,000 to St. John’s Medical Center for an Oncology Exam room, approximately $60,000 in local scholarships to graduating seniors and on-going college students, $43,000 to Teton County Youth and Family Services for “Toys for Tots, $10,000 to the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake in memory of Angie Gould and most recently in 2008 we donated $16,000 to the Jackson Hole Shrine Club to benefit the Shriner’s Children Hospital in Salt Lake City.  We’ve also helped out our local residents and families in need.

The Snow Devils actively support and donate to groups such as the Blue Ribbon Coalition and the Wyoming State Snowmobile Association in their efforts to protect our parks and public lands. This is all made possible by the voluntary work of our Snow Devils members and proceeds from the World Championship Snowmobile Hill Climb.

The Snow Devils hold monthly general meetings the first Thursday of every month at the Virginian Lodge Convention Center starting in October and ending with our year end party in June at Heise Hot Springs in Ririe, Idaho.   These meetings are family oriented and include a pot luck dinner followed by an informative session pertaining to outdoor enthusiasts.  Other club activities include the Annual Christmas party held every December at Togwotee Mountain Lodge (Santa included), monthly club rides, avalanche training (which if you take two training courses we provide your avalanche beacon for the snow season), spring and fall Highway Clean-up, and grass drags in October.

Our mission, as Jackson Hole Snow Devils, is to promote and protect safe family snowmobiling on our public lands through supporting public charity and community education.
