Skiing Jackson Hole. One of the Best Ski Resorts in America.

With the longest vertical drop of any resort in the States and 50% of its runs classified ‘black’, you can justifiably claim that skiing Jackson Hole is ‘like nothing you have experienced before’.

Skiing Jackson Hole.

Skiing ‘The Big One’ can be challenging. The trail map is littered with names like ‘Nose Bleed’, ‘Once is Enough’ and ‘Meet Your Maker’! But in deep snow, when you can grind to a halt on anything less than a blue, the steeps are what you need

Off-Piste Skiing Jackson Hole.

Off piste is the norm but Jackson Hole also has a unique ‘open-gate boundary policy’. This gives skiers and snowboarders access to an infinite area of ‘back country’ to frolic in, outside the patrolled area of the resort. No other ski resort in the States offers this. They even provide you with guides to point you off the trail map.

Cat-Skiing, the Heli-Skiing Alternative.

‘Cat skiing’ – or ‘the poor man’s heli-skiing’ – is a hot ticket in The Hole. Virtually unknown in Europe, this is an ingenious way of accessing ‘untracked’ ski areas. They use specially adapted caterpillar ‘piste-bashers’ or ‘snow-groomers’ to take you up almost vertical slopes in the back of beyond.

Now you no longer need a chopper and a Donald Trump size bank account to get that Canadian ‘Bugaboos’ experience. You’ll need a guide and can expect to experience 7 to 10 runs in a day. Day trips include transportation from the resort at Teton Village and take you into the beautiful, untamed wilderness of Teton/Bridger National Park and, of course, bring you back.
