About the Jackson Hole Snow Devils
Our Mission
The Jackson Hole Snow Devils’ mission is to educate the public concerning winter activities and sports, and to raise funds for other charitable and educational purposes, including making donations to other charitable organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and awarding scholarships. The Organization has had, and intends to continue to provide, educational courses concerning winter activities (specifically avalanche training), and to raise money for other charitable organizations and for educational scholarships, primarily from its annual Hill Climb event.
Evolution of Hill Climb
About 20 members of the Jackson Hole Snow Devils started a small hill climb in 1975, and what started as a few local boys high marking a ski slope has grown into the World Championship Snowmobile Hill Climb. 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 and volunteers converge on Snow King Mountain to stage one of the largest non-profit charity snowmobile events in the United States.
Our Members
We work hard to make the Hill Climb the best overall experience that we can each year, but we do so much more throughout the year. The Snow Devils is a family oriented organization with a lot of fun activities for all skill/age levels! In addition to our meetings and rides we have our annual Christmas Fundraiser at Togwotee, a camping trip at Heise, and other activites. We manage to have fun no matter what we decide to do! New Members are always welcome and we encourage you to join.

Members and Volunteers
The World Championship Snowmobile Hill Climb is put on entirely by volunteers, the ranks of which are made up primarily of members of the Jackson Hole Snow Devils. There are also many volunteers from our local community and, in fact, from all over the world, who return to help put on this event year after year!
