Men’s and Women’s teams both runner-up Jeff Worl The Pinedale Alpine Ski Team wrapped up a very successful ski season with a great showing at the Alpine State Meet in Jackson Hole this past Friday and Saturday, March 6 & 7, 2026. Both the men’s and women’s team came in a very close state runner up. The women’s team took second by only 14 points and the men’s by 28. Garret Saunders was able to take a silver medal in the men’s slalom. Roxy Melinkovich took a bronze in the women’s slalom. Dune McCartney took a bronze in the men’s GS. Addison Davis was able to ski the third fastest runs both days, but finished just out of the top five with the combined times. The whole team skied very well, with athletes finishing in the top ten. Coach Wohl said, "This was a very close competition. If we had had a few more girls who were eligible for the meet, or if we did not have some spills on the GS day, this team could easily have taken the state championships for the women. The men also were extremely close, finishing the first day only five points behind Jackson, but then we had a couple athletes who were skiing extremely fast but weren’t able to finish two run runs to get a final score. That’s how ski racing works though. Coach Dan Williams, Justin Wattsabaugh and myself are extremely proud of how hard this team has worked all year and how they continued to improve. They have come a long way from the early season when we hiked the hill and trained by headlamp after school at White Pine." Nearly all of these athletes who competed at state for Pinedale have qualified to represent Team Wyoming at the Western High School Championships in Colorado in two weeks. It’ll be exciting to see them ski there. We would like to really thank the White Pine Ski Area, the Sublette County Ski and Snowboard Association, and the many parents and businesses who have supported this ski team throughout the season.

Coach Jeff Wohl Pinedale Wranglers’ Alpine Ski Team sends a huge thanks to White Pine Ski Resort, Sublette County Ski and Snowboard Association, and all the volunteers who came out to help with the Pinedale home meet this past Friday and Saturday, February 20 & 21, 2026. The Pinedale Wranglers Alpine Race Team hosted two giant slalom races at White Pine with beautiful weather and good skiing by many athletes. Competitors traversed a course that goes from nearly the top of the mountain to the bottom on the Wind River ski run, reaching speeds of over 35 miles an hour with 37 dramatic big sweeping turns. The combined times for both runs were just over two minutes. The varsity men finished the meet a close runner-up behind Jackson. The varsity women, while having some really excellent skiing, did not all finish and ended up coming in third. Dune McCartney had an excellent weekend, finishing second both days. Roxanne Melinkovich got a career best in GS finishing both races fifth and sixth. Coach Wohl said, "I am really happy how everyone is skiing. We’ve been battling illness throughout the season. I can’t wait till we have a race where everyone is healthy when we can get everyone down the hill without any DNF’s. Both the men and women are real contenders." The ski team now will have their first week without competition in over a month. They’ll take the beginning of the week to rest and get healthy, and then spend two days training before the team gets ready to head to the State Championship in Jackson the first week of March. We encourage the Pinedale community to come ski at Snow King and support these fine athletes March 6th and 7th. From there, many Pinedale athletes will qualify to represent Team Wyoming mid-March in Loveland, Colorado at the Western US High School Championships, where they will get to meet and compete against the best high school skiers in the West.
