Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is a legendary destination for advanced skiers and riders, offering some of the steepest and most rugged terrain in North America. Located in Teton Village, near the town of Jackson, Wyoming, it combines wild mountain adventure with stunning scenery and Western charm.
Jackson Hole boasts over 2,500 acres of in-bounds terrain, a vertical drop of 4,139 feet (one of the largest in the U.S.), and more than 130 named trails. It's particularly known for its challenging runs, tight chutes, and iconic backcountry-style terrain. The Aerial Tram takes skiers to the top of Rendezvous Mountain — home to the infamous Corbet’s Couloir — a rite of passage for thrill-seekers. While intermediates and confident beginners can find terrain at lower elevations and near Apres Vous Mountain, this is a resort that caters primarily to strong, experienced skiers. Annual snowfall averages around 450 inches, with frequent storms delivering deep powder days.
The resort combines high-end lodging and dining with a rustic, authentic mountain vibe. Teton Village features ski-in/ski-out hotels, cozy après-ski spots, and luxurious spas, while the nearby town of Jackson adds art galleries, steakhouses, and a vibrant Western nightlife. The scenery is unmatched, with panoramic views of the Tetons and Grand Teton National Park just minutes away. Jackson Hole also prides itself on environmental initiatives and maintaining a low-density, community-oriented feel.
Jackson Hole is a premium resort, with pricing comparable to Aspen and Deer Valley. Lift tickets can be costly, though multi-day passes and Ikon Pass discounts help mitigate expenses. The resort is easily accessed via Jackson Hole Airport, located just 20 minutes from the base. The relatively remote location adds to its appeal for those seeking a more immersive, less crowded ski vacation.
Jackson Hole is a dream resort for advanced skiers and snowboarders looking for real adventure. With steep lines, deep snow, and a breathtaking natural setting, it offers a raw, unforgettable mountain experience. It’s less about luxury and more about the thrill — though it has plenty of comfort too.
