Pinedale Community Food Basket Pinedale, WY – Local teachers spend between $50 and $150 of their own money annually to ensure students don’t go hungry in class. Recognizing that well-nourished students behave better and learn faster, the Rocky Mountain Power Foundation has awarded a $2,000 grant to the Pinedale Community Food Basket to continue the Wrangle Hunger Snack Club through the 2026-27 school year. Since its launch in 2024, the Wrangle Hunger Snack Club has been a vital resource for low-income families in Sublette County School Districts #1 and #9, including local homeschoolers. To date, dedicated volunteers have assembled and distributed 557 nutritious snack bags during monthly food distributions. "By simply meeting this basic need, we reduce disruptions, increase productivity, and support a more positive and focused classroom atmosphere," says Pinedale Elementary teacher Michayla Blatnick. The Pinedale Community Food Basket, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, serves families at or below 185% of the USDA poverty level. Beyond snacks, the organization provides supplemental food assistance, emergency funds, and household essentials, while connecting neighbors to critical community resources. For families already struggling, a daily snack is a small item that represents a large financial hurdle. This grant ensures that students can keep their focus on their desks rather than their stomachs.

Jeff Wohl The 2026 Western US High School Skiing Championships took place March 15–18, at Loveland Ski Area in Colorado. Seven Pinedale athletes joined with alpine skiers from around the state to represent Team Wyoming at the Championships. This year’s meet was held at the Loveland Basin Ski Area in Colorado, where athletes competed in Giant Slalom (GS), the faster event with larger turns, and Slalom (SL) with short, powerful turns. The team competed against some of the top skiers in the United States. Pinedale had a particularly strong showing, making up over a quarter of the selected athletes for Team Wyoming. Team Wyoming had a very solid finish, coming in sixth out of nine teams. Many of these teams are from areas with better access to ski racing, much larger high schools, and more funding. Notable results for Pinedale athletes were: In Men's Slalom: Garret Saunders was 18th fastest in one run. Case Ingle finished the slalom in 27th place. Dude McCartney skied to a 36th on his first run. Grant Carter finished a very solid 39th. In Women's Slalom: Addison Davis finished 51st. Ellie Tolson had two great runs going, but had to hike and finish the day at 53rd. Men’s Giant Slalom: Garrett Saunders skied to a 37th. Grant Carter finished the day 55th. Case Ingle was 62nd. Dune McCartney was skiing a blistering place, but ended up crashing. Women’s Giant Slalom: Ellie Tolson took 51st. Addison Davis came in 67th. Roxy Melinkovich took 78th. Coach Jeff Wohl from Pinedale was able to attend and help coach all the athletes of Team Wyoming. Jeff said "I’m extremely proud of how all these athletes skied against some incredibly tough competition. This fine group of athletes conducted themselves in a very professional, polite, and respectful manner, and had a lot of fun. The teams that we competed against this week are extremely strong, with athletes who are truly ranked at the top for all skiers of their age. Many of the skiers not only race high school, but also on the club circuit and come from programs with far greater resources than our Wyoming athletes. For us to show up and finish as well as we did is truly a great accomplishment." "The Pinedale team continues to grow in depth. We have a very strong group of skiers coming up and, I feel, in a few years, we’ll be in a place to even be competitive at a race of this caliber. We, as a team, will continue fundraising so we can bring athletes to events like this. Next year the western high school championships will be held in Northern Minnesota, on the shores of Lake Superior. We hope to have the funding to be able to bring a full team again next year. We would like to thank all in the community who have come forward to support these fine athletes through this incredible ski season, and look forward to seeing what they can do in the future. We would like to add a special thank you to Kelly Cornell, who supported not only Pinedale, but all Team Wyoming athletes. Thank you Kelly!"
