Jackson Hole Ski Resort Guide
Jackson Hole Ski Resort Guide
Jackson Hole ski resort is in north-west Wyoming and has a distinctly wild west feel about it. The ski areas reputation has grown over the last decade and is renowned for its challenging terrain. From the village, at just over 6000ft, the tram cable car transports you all the way to the summit of Rendezvous Mountain at 10,450ft. Add into the equation bucket loads of dry powder and it is not difficult to see the attraction of Jackson Hole. Beginners should not be put off by the reputation of Jackson Hole; there are plenty of runs to keep you happy. Intermediates will find enough challenging terrain and will improve if they push themselves. Experts; well they will be spoiled for choice. Be sure to check out the fabled Corbets Couloir, a big huck off the cornice right below the tram! The town of Jackson is 20 minutes away and is full of traditional frontier buildings. Night life is lively and the cowboy theme continues in the saloon bars. The only gripe with Jackson Hole may be that as a result of the dependence on long tramways and cable cars, queues can be a problem. Think about a day away at nearby Grand Targhee resort to beat the crowds.

Visitor Reviews of Jackson Hole
barry steep from United States writes:
Jackson Hole is righteous, great town, amazing skiing. My expectations were exceeded on every facet of this mountain. JH has everything you could ask for and then some. The lift system is well laid out for easy access to all terrain. You might of heard JH gets tracked out fast, this is true if you don't explore/poke around, and if you get to the tram at 8:45 am on a powder day you will be about 2 hours behind the first person in line, the early bird my friend. Oh yes and a shout out to all those friendly lift attendants, they really do make a difference.
