Jackson Hole offers a truly unique experience!

Jackson Hole is located in the cowboy state of Wyoming in the shadow of the Grand Teton. The resort base area (called Teton Village) is 19 kilometres northwest of the town of Jackson. There is an airport at Jackson, with domestic flights from various major US cities.

Nicknamed "The Big One", Jackson Hole offers big vertical and big skiable terrain, and has a gnarly reputation for steep challenging terrain that attracts many, many local and international hard-core skiers and snowboarders.

As the tram heads up the hill jammed full of early morning powder seekers, you notice one thing – the consistent fall line, the steeps and the vertical. Jackson Hole has some the most challenging inbounds terrain in North America. There is also some genuinely frightening stuff for the uninitiated. In Jackson Hole even the cat tracks are all marked intermediate, not because they're steep, but because of where you'll potentially end up if you come off one. When a sign at Jackson Hole says 'cliff' it really means it!

Having said all that, there is plenty of terrain for all levels including 40% of the trails being appropriate for intermediates. Jackson Hole is adequate for beginners, but with only 10% of the trails being for novices, L-platers will be better placed at the nearby Snow King Ski Resort.
