Jackson Hole is a town where superlatives come easily, for it offers those who make the
"pilgrimage" perhaps the ultimate ski and snowboard experience in North America. The terrain - a massive 4,139 feet from top to bottom - has plenty for those who like it "steep and deep", yet there's a wealth of choice for progressing intermediates too. The only really difficult decision is whether to stay in historic downtown Jackson or at the base of Jackson Hole mountain at Teton Village. For experienced skiers, it simply doesn't get any better than this. If you are up for the challenge– wax your skis, sharpen your edges - and go west.
Not a place for beginners, Jackson Hole has much of North America's most advanced skiing,
especially off-piste, but it also has a lot to offer improving intermediates too. Rendezvous is the
bigger mountain, with many steep and challenging runs for expert skiers including Corbert's Couloir… bring a parachute! Après Vous is smaller, with lots of intermediate terrain. There is a boarding park and half pipe at Teton Village base, though expert boarders will find a wealth of natural terrain on both mountains.
Jackson Hole is an authentic western town complete with saloons and wooden sidewalks,
however the ski area rises steeply from Teton Village, some 15 minutes away on the shuttle bus. At Teton Village, the Mangy Moose is a famous (and noisy) après-ski haunt, while the Village Café is a quieter option. Jackson itself has an even wider choice of restaurants and bars - pull up a saddle at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar or visit the Silver Dollar, Jackson's quintessential western saloon. The lure of the mountain is ever present, but away from the slopes you can mush a dog-sled team, horse ride, or take a day (or overnight) snowmobile trip to Yellowstone Park for wildlife and equally wild hot springs. |
